Davanti Enoteca

Editorial Review

The owners behind Chicago's Mia Francesca empire came up with this winning combination of wine shop and restaurant, and you'll be hard pressed to escape the shop with a bottle of Italian red and not succumb to a full-on meal a few steps over and vice versa. Have your server uncork your bottle while you mow through offerings like mini mason jars filled with creamy ricotta and honeycomb with Tuscan toast, sea urchin linguine, or pork belly pizzas. Reclaimed floors and beamed ceilings keep things rustic while the vino keeps you coming back.
