MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

With the flick of a switch, Logan Square’s beloved pasta restaurant has found a new home just down Milwaukee Avenue. The move is a serious upgrade into a space nearly four times its original footprint. Flooded with sunlight, fitted with a comfortable bar and sporting a private dining room, the restaurant has no shortage of space. And much to everyone’s delight, house-made pastas like pappardelle with mushroom ragu or rigatoni with pork ragu and fermented tomato remain prime attractions. Onion dip with house-made ruffles is still on the menu and still a must-order. A bakery in the back gives this team even more room to play with sweets, and diners can choose between a dazzling selection of pastries, ice creams and sorbet at the meal’s end.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"Our program starts with my brother’s farm, over 30 acres located 70 miles from Chicago. First and foremost, we use everything we can from this one location; and additionally fruit is sourced from nearby. We have a dedicated fermentation program so we can best utilize all this product in the winter months and limit waste. Our compost program returns discarded produce back to the farm for use as fertilizer and chicken feed."
