"From the outside, Enoteca Roma in Wicker Park looks like a little Italian spot that can fit about 25 people. But don’t be discouraged—this place is the restaurant equivalent of Mary Poppins’ carpetbag, thanks to a huge back patio. It’s secluded and very cute, with string lights and lots of green stuff to help you forget you’re in the city. Start out with a polenta board for an appetizer (our favorite is topped with venison bolognese), then follow up with pasta, like the penne arrabbiata or one of the handmade specials. Hang out here until they ask you to leave." - adrian kane, john ringor
