"Located across from Millenium Park, this Italian restaurant is the sibling to Gage, the upscale pub owned by veteran Chicago restaurateur Billy Lawless. Lawless handed over control of Acanto’s kitchen to chef Troy Jorge who worked at Temporis, a fine dining restaurant in West Town, when it earned a Michelin star. At the Gage, all the pasta dishes can be made gluten-free, and there are several items marked on the menu that are standard without gluten. — Ashok Selvam" - Sam Nelson
"Acanto is a small, upscale Italian restaurant from the same people who own The Gage, and it’s right next door. This place has great housemade pastas, so focus on those when you’re here. Although you should still make sure to get one of their pizzas—there are two on the menu, but there’s typically another on special that you should try." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Located inside the One MICHELIN Key Hotel Principe di Savoia, it is known for impeccable service and refined dishes with classic-contemporary flavors." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Acanto is a small, upscale Italian restaurant from the same people who own The Gage, and it’s right next door. This place has great housemade pastas, so focus on those when you’re here. It will also be full of out-of-towners, but the kind who like orecchiette more than Scotch eggs." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Acanto is a small, upscale Italian restaurant from the same people who own The Gage, and it’s right next door. This place has a long wine list, outdoor patio, and housemade pastas—and those are what you should focus on when you're here. It is also always full of tourists, but you knew that already since it's right across from Millennium Park." - Adrian Kane
