The Best Pasta In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"With its classy art deco space, excellent view of the riverview, big booths, and posh location inside the St. Regis Hotel, this Italian spot in Lakeshore East is ideal for a Big Pasta Night Out. More classic-leaning dishes like cacio e pepe with thick pici or spicy rigatoncini all’arrabiata are excellent. But save some table space for the less common ones—we wouldn’t shut up about Tre Dita’s sweet corn-stuffed pasta for weeks. Reservations show up on OpenTable a week in advance at midnight, so you’ll need to stay up to book a dinner that’s later than 4pm but earlier than 9pm. The bar seating at Bar Tre Dita next door is also first come, first serve if you want to try an old-fashioned walk-in (the menu is more limited, but still has many Tre Dita favorite’s like pastas and their fluffy schiacciata)." - john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane
