Where to have Italian fare for lunch?
-
Post #1 - August 25th, 2011, 1:33 pmI have always had a great experiences asking for advice through LTH.
The dilemma I have is I work evenings and my father - very picky about his Italian food- is in town. The places I thought he would love are to open for lunch such as A Tavola in Ukrainian Village.
Anywhere similar that serves a week day lunch menu?
Thanks again!

I'll second a rec for Davanti...had a great dinner there recently. If you want to read about it and see some pix, you can look here.Lou Zucaro, Founder & Creator of Yumbly and MenuMinder. Search restaurants and menus to find exactly what you're hungry for. Yum.

It is located at the southwest corner of Halsted and Grand. here's a link to their lunch menu: http://piccolosognorestaurant.com/menu/lunch/

Post #10 - August 26th, 2011, 8:51 pmI second the Cafe Spiaggia recommendation, and suggest you stay away from Terzo Piano, where I had lunch today. It was just as pricey as Cafe Spiaggia for lunch, but the food nowhere near as good.

Post #11 - August 27th, 2011, 3:25 pmLet's add Trattoria 10 to the mix. Probably not one of the best Italian in Chicago, but certainly one of the better examples in the Loop. Also, they care about lunch; reservations are occasionally even required.

And the one time I was at Sabatino's on a random weekday there was a decent crowd.
