The 18 Best Italian Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you spend waking hours in Lincoln Square, Capriccio will make your life a lot better with their Roman-style sandwiches and coffee, and a comfortable space to kill time. The namesake mortadella sandwich is hard not to finish in one lift, and the margarita pizzas with pesto have a similar easy chew thanks to the airy sourdough focaccia. Sit in a plush chair, nod along to Italian pop, and stare out the windows at the Chicagoans outside. (Or, if you want to be a part of the action, the square’s fountain is just steps away.)" - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
