Il Culaccino

This place is a staple of the neighborhood. It has some of the best Italian food around and really good wine and cocktails as well. The owner always comes by and says hello to my friends when we visit since they’re regulars. I tried the eggplant parm and it was delicious. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but they have a lot and valet as well.

Good spot for Italian in Chicago’s south loop.

It was a perfectly fine Caesar salad for a business dinner, but nothing to write home about. Servers were very friendly.
