This little gem off the Magnificent Mile is home to some of the best Italian food this side of Piedmont. It’s easy to miss this tiny restaurant—look for the ultra-posh shoppers enjoying a midday respite and the suit-coated businessmen having power lunches over risotto Milanese. An extensive wine list complements the kitchen’s lovely creations, made with organic meats and locally grown organic produce.
