20 Classic Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Ask a random person in Chicago to name a classic Italian restaurant, and there’s a good chance they’ll say La Scarola in River West. It’s a neighborhood spot with white tablecloths, framed photos of celebrities on the wall, patrons wearing Blackhawks jerseys, and veal scallopini the size of the table. Your hair will smell like Marlboro thanks to smoker-friendly dive Richard’s Bar next door, but you’ll have leftovers for days." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
