"Monteverde is a fantastic West Loop Italian restaurant with some of the best pasta in the city. And their raviolo—one large, pasta pocket with a gooey egg yolk center—is no exception. But aside from the pasta itself, what’s exciting (and also frustrating) is that it goes through phases like a preteen who just discovered Manic Panic. The seasons dictate what it will be served with, so you could find truffles one time and then come back to find it topped with pomegranate seeds. Either way, this pasta chameleon is always a must-order. " - john ringor
