Great, vibrant Italian Restaurant on Southport. Great pasta and pizza. Close to Wrigley Field. Reservations suggested. "Within months of entering Chicago's culinary world, Coda di Volpe restaurant established itself as a neighborhood favorite. This instant rise to glory is the result of Chef Thompson's extensive experiences in Italy along with his passion for food. Serving a Southern Italian fare, Thompson's Neapolitan handmade pies are the showstoppers of the menu that should not be given a miss. Besides culinary plates like Beef short ribs and meatballs, the menu also features sweet options like Apple Crostata. Visit Cola di Volpe to relish true Southern Italian flavors."

"Dos is a partnership between two husband and wife teams: Chef Brian Enyart (14-year veteran of Frontera Grill/Topolobampo) and Pastry Chef Jennifer Jones Enyart (Charlie Trotter’s, Topolobampo), as well as Michael Rotolo (20-year Lettuce Entertain You veteran/Joe’s Stone Crab) and Erika Martinez Rotolo (Lettuce Entertain You). Inspired by the boldness and bounty of Mexico, the menu is an original interpretation of Mexican cuisine that embraces contemporary flavors and ingredients. Guests can enjoy thoughtful fare in the restaurant’s dining room and spacious open air bar area, or on its seasonal 40-seat al fresco patio. The restaurant is Chicago Magazine’s Top 5 “Best New".

Located at the end of our block within a 2 minute walk, Le Sud is a wonderful French Bistro open for dinner. It's been written up on Eater as a Hot New Restaurant. They only take reservations for half the restaurant, so there are tables for walk-ins. Great wine list. We love the Steak Frites and Duck.
