"Even if you're not a wine drinker, this restaurant inside Chicago Winery is still worth a visit. Liva’s pastas are delicious, like tender ricotta ravioli with sweet corn. They have great small plates as well, like hamachi crudo with blood orange and almonds. And if you do like wine, the knowledgeable staff is always happy to chat about varietals and the ideal pairings for each dish. Its large bright dining space is good for a casual group dinner or a nice date night, but there are also plenty of seats at the bar if you want to enjoy some pasta and wine by yourself." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
