Classic Italian dishes in a romantic, art-filled dining room
"Take the elevator down to the lower level for a luxury hideaway that’s played host to Vince Vaughn, Jon Bon Jovi, Johnny Depp, and countless other stars. It’s surprisingly spacious enough to hold up to 100 guests but can also accommodate smaller gatherings. Vintage in setting, Prosecco’s lounge features antique light fixtures, plus lush sofas and a sound system for a full-scale party. There’s also a catering menu for lighter bites, beverages, and dinner." - Audarshia Townsend
"Prosecco is one of the restaurants involved in Wells Street's street dining program." - Ashok Selvam
"Italian restaurant aiming to raise $10,000 on GoFundMe to help cover lost shifts." - Naomi Waxman
"Mark Sparacino focused on his Chicago restaurant Prosecco Ristorante, which led him to hire a local chef de cuisine at Sophia’s a year after it opened so he could concentrate on the Chicago operation." - Erin Russell
"Reopened after a three-month renovation that followed its 2008 debut as a lavish River North spot for bubbles and Venetian food, this restaurant now features a 35-foot quartz bar replacing the wooden one, a new walk-in wine cellar, and a pair of Murano glass chandeliers imported from Venice; the art has been refreshed, including a photography print from The Wolf of Main Street. Executive chef/partner Mark Sparacino has introduced a menu that blends longtime favorites with new items like gamberi primavera (spinach tagliatelle, sautéed shrimp, baby spinach, heirloom cherry tomatoes, pesto olive oil drizzle), and he says the kitchen will try to accommodate loyal diners if a favorite dish isn’t on the menu. While sparkling wine remains the focus, a revamped cocktail list — highlighted by the Blackberry (muddled blackberries shaken with Chardonnay and Amaro grappa and ginger liqueur, topped with Prosecco and ginger beer and finished with fresh mint) — complements a program of comfort food drawn from all 20 regions of Italy and a large selection of Italian sparkling wines." - Ashok Selvam
