"Chicago has a lot of expensive and kind-of-fancy Italian restaurants. But if you just want to eat some solidly good pasta in a casual atmosphere, Pasta Palazzo is the place for that. The food is affordable (pastas range from $8-11), but it’s still nice enough in here that you can have a glass of wine while your 18-year-old pretends he’s never heard of alcohol in his life. Definitely get the penne bolognese, or one of the handmade pastas like the gnocchi or ravioli." - adrian kane
