"“The early returns are highly encouraging” on Joe’s Imports. The new West Loop wine bar won’t break the bank: “Most full bottles are $50 or less; most 5-ounce-glass pours are less than $15.” Start with the “feather-light” fried Parmesan puffs served with a three-cheese fondue. Broccoli rabe “packs a considerably spicy punch” and the “bitter, spicy and sweet notes mingle harmoniously.” Keep an eye on the pastas; tagliatelle with beef check Bolognese is “one of the best dishes” Vettel tries. It’s bookended by an “eye-catching” Chocolate Royal, a dessert combining chocolate mousse, peanut butter flakes, and bittersweet chocolate ganache." - Jeffy Mai
