"Sometimes (a lot of times) we want a place where we can knock back too much house wine and go face first into a pile of pasta and meatballs. In Lincoln Park, that place is Pasta Palazzo. The food is simple, fresh, and inexpensive. Most pastas cost around $10, and adding a protein won’t be more than a few extra bucks. We like it more for a casual midweek dinner than date night, but if this is date number 2,829 and you just want something quick, it’ll work." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru
