The Chicago Link & Dine Restaurants - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The West Loop has so manyItalian restaurantsthat red sauce fatigue can feel like a real hazard. But the Roman-style dishes at Il Carciofo popped up and said, "Hold that thought." Like its Croatian sibling,Rose Mary, this spaciousFulton Marketspot is filled with West Loopers who can’t resist the pull of a trendy restaurant. Another shared trait: damn good food. The creamy rigatoni alla carbonara with guanciale is al dente perfection. Their namesake fried artichokes, imported from Rome, make us want to wait at O’Hare with a welcome sign." - Team Infatuation
