Before it's over, I think we might have to move to the Grant Park area, and Memorial Drive. Another wonderful neighborhood joint, across from Oakland Cemetary. And we did snag a table on the patio, as I gazed across the street to the Cemetary, to see if my family's tombstones were still standing, after the recent tornado. All was in place, and so is this menu. And the prices. Could come here every night. We started with a couple of apps, Buschetta-tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, & EVOO. Thank you very much Rachel Ray. And the Fritter's alla Stella-panko crusted potato and cod fritters w/lemon aoli, Yum-O! Had a wonderful pasta dish, Baci,-quattro formaggio stuffed ""purses"" in a Vodka Sauce. Pure heaven. My dining partner had Lasagne-Homemade Bolognese, belchamel, mozzarella layered between fresh egg pasta. And wine under $10. What a deal, and what a meal.
Pros: Neiborhood, Homemade Italian Specialties, Great Prices
Cons: Parking Can Be Tight!
