Southern Italian restaurant · Logan Square

"If you don’t know about this little Italian restaurant in Logan Square that quietly opened in 2020, now you do. The space is small and dimly lit, busy without being chaotic, and has a not-crowded bar that’s perfect for a bowl of pasta and glass of wine. The menu is short—just some hot and cold small plates and a few entrees among other things. It’s all good, but you’re here for the pastas, like cacio e pepe and mezze maniche. They’re wonderfully chewy, and available in half portions in case you decide to order more than one. You should." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru
