Chic setting for Italian dining with cocktails & a wine bar, plus seasonal, shaded outdoor seating.
"Located just minutes away from Wintrust Arena, Il Culaccino tempts fans and diners with a menu of Chicago Italian-American classics like chicken Vesuvio, prime steaks, pastas, and salads, plus a wine bar and tree-covered patio. The restaurant is from the owners of South Side stalwart Franco’s, a hit since 1986 in Bridgeport." - Ashok Selvam
"Yes another red sauce destination with a huge selection of pasta. Instead of chicken or veal parm, the restaurant dials up the Chicago and opts for chicken or veal giardiniera. Giardiniera is the Chicago-famous relish created by Italian Americans and mostly known to spice up Italian beefs." - Ashok Selvam
"We can’t stress this enough: there are a lot of great restaurants all over Chicago. But we’re not here to talk about those, we’re here to talk about what you can eat between Morningstar Investment panel discussions. Il Culaccino is one of these—it’s an Italian restaurant that’s right across the street. It’s a place that’s one unlimited breadstick away from being in a mall parking lot, but the huge portions of pasta and tasty appetizers are better than what you’ll find at most chain restaurants." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"South Loop Italian spot Il Culaccino is prepared for potential wind, rain, and snow with a retractable roof and walls." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"Delivery and curbside pick up. Free delivery within a one-mile radius of the restaurant." - adrian kane
