When the Chicago air turns a little cooler, there's only one question: Why cook when Italy is waiting for you in Printer’s Row?
Trade your kitchen for an evening of rich flavors, warm hospitality, and the kind of comfort food that makes every chilly night feel a little cozier.
•Sink your fork into our Saltimbocca Romana — tender pork loin scaloppini layered with prosciutto, sage, and a silky Marsala sauce.
•Indulge in the timeless elegance of Ossobuco alla Milanese — a slow-braised veal shank served over luxurious saffron risotto, a Northern Italian classic worth savoring bite by bite.
•Craving something hearty? Our Short Ribs Stracotto are braised until fork-tender in a rich Barolo wine sauce and served with creamy polenta.
•Looking for a favorite that never disappoints? Our Pollo Parmigiana features a perfectly breaded cutlet topped with melted mozzarella, tomato sauce, and roasted potatoes.
•And for lovers of classic Italian comfort, our Vitello Carciofi combines delicate veal scaloppini with a velvety cream and artichoke sauce that's impossible to forget.
The weather may cool down, but dinner doesn't have to. Gather your friends, bring your appetite, and let us take care of the rest.
