Marshall Lawrence: Nice place. Family friendly. It is not tourist packed. But tourists are welcomed. Chicago style pizzas are very good. You might try Chicago classic. Lasagna is also tasty.
Chino Griff: Great "deep dish pizza"; can't go wrong with the "Lou". Bruschettas are a great start. Get a beer to wash it down. Nice atmosphere, family friendly. Great location.
Serious Eats: The Malnati Chicago Classic combines a buttercrust with their awesome well-seasoned homemade sausage. It's one of the best deep dish pizzas known to man.

Marco Jimenez: Family friendly spot. Tons of options. Decent prices. Not a go to for dates because there will be kids yelling.
Fernando Covas: One of the best for fresh, healthy, and simply prepared seafood. Whole grilled fish is the way to go, as is the octopus. Don't overlook their veggies: try the horta (braised greens), okra, and beets.
Explore Chicago: Greek Island is the staple of Greek Town, importing wines, olives oil, oregano, honey and olives straight from Greece. Try their distinctive lima beans and Colorado lamb.
