"Most places in the Gold Coast are either high-end or ultra-casual. If you want something more mid-range, though, don’t give up—try La Storia. This place is serving pretty good Italian food in a space that’s nice, but still relaxed. You’ll be eating with the Gold Coast regulars, i.e. business folks and old money, and it isn’t exactly inexpensive, but it still feels like it could be at home in any Chicago neighborhood. Try the excellent housemade pastas." - adrian kane
