"Liva’s double-sided fireplace ensures that two groups at a time can defrost after walking around River North. It’s modern-looking and gas-powered, with sleek flames that flicker in a clean straight line surrounded by a pool of rocks—like an MCA piece that triggers unexpected pensiveness. Liva also has a variety of tasty pastas and dishes like grilled shrimp or duck breast to help you fuel up before braving the snowy streets of downtown again. And since it’s located inside of Chicago Winery, there’s plenty of great wine to choose from. " - adrian kane, john ringor
