6 Previously Impossible Reservations That Are Easy Now - Chicago - The Infatuation
"How Far In Advance Should You Book? You can get a primetime spot two days in advance, especially on a weeknight. Il Carciofo had plenty of excitement around it when it opened last December: it’s from a Top Chef winner, and it’s an Italian restaurant in a neighborhood where people generally can't get enough of Italian food. But trying their excellent Roman-style carbonara and mortadella sandwich is no longer a feat of reservation acrobatics. Same-day tables are fairly common, and the large dining room is especially friendly for walk-ins." - nick allen
