Eliza: Pick up an arancini (or two) to eat ASAP and don't forget the vodka sauce to take home.
Alison P: Best place for bulk fresh pasta in Chicago, bar none. If the minestrone is available, grab a quart as well.
Marty Colchamiro: Fantastic fresh pasta and ravioli. The sign says it best: Fresh Pasta
Eater: Pizza meets pie here, literally. The famous Pizza Pot Pie is an individual serving of Sicilian bread-type dough, homemade sauce, whole plum tomatoes, a special blend of tomatoes, sausage & mushrooms. Read more.
Aaron Simko: As a pizza fanatic this was one of my favorite experiences in Chicago!! The wait is very well worth it! That Mediterranean bread is off the charts good and the pizza is simply delightful!! Love it!
Adrienne Eltink: don't freak out when they don't take your name or write it down. trust me, they remember your face and party size.
Jamie Iacobucci: The wonderful aroma of coffee & tea gives way to a very wide variety of unique coffee, teas & products from around the world.
Christopher Rollyson: Don't forget the tea! I keep our collection of full leaf teas stocked. A sampling: Sencha, Czarina Samovar, Black Vanilla, Leung Ching, Gen Mai Cha, various breakfast teas. Also equipment.
Tom Bellino: If you want a good cup of coffee or tea and can't stick around to drink it, head here above all others. If you want to sit down, head to Kickstand, Argo or Intelligentsia.
