Creative cocktails: love the SNAPPY COMEBACK (snap pea infused CH gin, white wine syrup, lime)
Low key one of the best places to get coffee, delicious food (from Goddess & Grocer), & work done in Chi. Great staff, amazing spinach pastries & outlets along every wall! Plus, bar is open after 3pm.
Cafe/bar at Steppenwolf Theatre
EAT the Healthy Primavera | spaghetti (prepared with mo butter or cheese) with grilled eggplant, peppers, zucchini, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes and basil in a tomato white wine sauce
Highly recommend both the tortellini and gnocchi (with bolognese sauce). Make sure to get the handmade pasta. For app - goat cheese. Enjoy!
Jalepeno gnocchi is the best. Try it.

Haven't tried Line 39 Sauv Blac yet? Best price in town for a delicious white wine!
Teavine Original and Elderflower. Sparkling white wine w/ organic green tea and honey. Makes a tasty cocktail too!
Favorite grocery store bar none. The bakery is awesome, I recommend the banana nut muffins and the cinnamon raisin walnut bread!
The white sangria = heaven
The chicken empanadas and white sangria!
Spinach & manchego stuffed mushrooms. Yum. Blue cheese tenderloin & seared scallops. Double yum. But the butterscotch dessert? MUST HAVE. Fun atmosphere & delicious food!
Great food get the linguine and clams white wine sauce
Must tries are the gnocchi alla vodka, rigatoni all’arrabbiata, and the tigelle. The staff are the best including real native Italians and an Italian head chef. Our favorite go to in the city.
Reasonably priced Neapolitan-style pies are the hottest ticket on the midday menu and with good reason. The crust is thin on the bottom, with a puffy, crisp edge. Read more.
My white sangria had a half of a slice of lime chopped up in it - but the bacon wrapped dates are scrumptious!
Try the Embotellado Kiwi - a carbonated cocktail made with kiwi, thyme-infused vodka and a syrup of kiwi, thyme, coriander, sugar and white wine.
Hidden Gem within the BlackStone Hotel on South Michigan. Great interior, awesome Sangria, and best bacon-wrapped dates in the city!
Risotto al Funghi Porcini (Carnaroli rice, porcini mushrooms, garlic, white wine sauce, truffle paste, parsley, and pecorino sardo cheese)
At La Storia in Chicago, gnocchi is prepared in two different but equally delicious ways — with Pecorino Romano, seasonal truffle and chive or with kale pesto, Pecorino, lemon and a Tuscan kale chip. Read more.

Never go wrong with the sweet potato tempura maki!
Twin islands white wine - the best one!
Happy hour is every day with 6$ glasses of wine and apps under 10$! Friendly staff and great spot for after work! Not the hippest spot....
The blackened salmon Caesar ($14.95), taking off in a contemporary, Southwestern direction, is worth exploring. Read more.
Definitely recommend the Seven Sisters white wine!
Great staff, great atmosphere, great cocktails (and good too!). Try a Chasing The Dragon, Wasabi Fries, and the Fried Chicken Bites for sure!
PEAR MARTINI MAKES ME OH SO HAPPY! DRINK UP! CHEERS!
The portions are GIGANTIC! Get the shrimp in white wine, garlic and cilantro. Boneless snapper chipotle style is incredible.
The El Barco Style Prawns are so addicting, you'll come back tomorrow for more. Oh, make sure to get a mango margarita to complete this incredible meal.
Their octopus Ceviche is the best overall ceviche in the actual city, next to the one I make in my kitchen.
Banana Cream Napoleon (Warm Caramel, Phyllo, Whipped Cream)
Strawberries & Crème Brûlée (Strawberry Sorbet)
Halibut Fish & Chips (Sauce Gribiche, Cornichon)
Some of the best service I've ever had! Everyone was so friendly! Gorgeous interior. Loved the On Tap Pinot Noir and the rolled eggplant app. Can't wait to come back when we are hungrier!

Great food, great service,
Love the white sangria
