The Best Lunches In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"This West Loop Italian spot is incredibly busy and popular, and serves lunch Monday through Friday. And while the daytime menu isn’t going to blow your mind with creativity (it’s mainly pizza, pasta, and a handful of sandwiches), it is delicious. The cacio e pepe ricotta dumplings are now our reigning definition of “decadent.” The pizza has a chewy wood-fired crust, and the chicken parmesan sandwich is packed with flavor. The bar is full of people dining solo, and even during the day, the restaurant is buzzing with staff and everyone from couples to large groups. Reservations are released on Opentable 60 days in advance at 12:01am. Options for prime dinner times are few and far between, so plan on booking a month or so ahead of time. Or grab a seat at the bar or on the patio right when they open. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
