void

Chicago’s Best Italian Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"Void is a comfy restaurant along Milwaukee Avenue with a giant old-school bar that stretches alongside a wall. It flips a lot of cliches about Italian American restaurants on its back (“when you’re here you’re family, etc.). Void has a unique self-awareness, the restaurant isn’t stuffy but is devoted to precision in the kitchen. They offer a tight menu that rotates with regular items — think lasagna and gnocchi — that always stay on the menu. The homemade SpaghettiOs — which are presented in a can to give off childhood memories — are a great example of Void’s attention to detail. Reserve a table on Toast." - Ashok Selvam
