Nico Osteria, Gold Coast’s Lauded Italian Restaurant, to Close After a Decade | Eater Chicago

"A planned takeover of the hotel’s dining space was announced by a prominent local restaurateur, who intends to open a new concept in the spring; construction is slated to begin in November, which drives the current restaurant’s mid-October closure timeline. The move revives a neighborhood rivalry: the incoming operator is closely associated with the corner of Bellevue and Rush after running a nearby long-standing steak-and-seafood venue for decades, and his family group — which runs multiple restaurants across the city — says it is keeping options open, including possibly reviving past branding." - Ashok Selvam
