10Best Says

Artango Steakhouse and Bar exudes romance from the dimly lit, stunning atmosphere to its Argentinian chef-driven menu by Saul Roman. Located in historic Lincoln Square, the restaurant aims for a passionate, sensory experience through delicious South American food, sturdy South American cocktails and Argentinian wine, art, music and dance. Guitar virtuosos, cellists, Brazilian jazz groups and European cabaret artists check in on a regular basis as well as Flamenco and tango dancers. Learn the art of the passionate partner dance with free tango lessons weekly. Indulge in ceviches, empanadas, Argentinian grilled meats and seafood and three-couse prix fixe menus that offer good value and a nice introduction to Argentinian food. Desserts give the French a run for their Euro with options like chocolate mousse cake, dolce de leche ice cream, or a rustic pear and almond tart, accompanied by blackcurrant semifreddo, salted caramel sauce and candied almonds.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Jacky Runice
Chicago Local Expert

Romantic Dining: "Eggplant "caviar" is great for vegetarians and everyone should try one of the smoking cocktails. Be sure to check the web site for the live entertainment and dance lesson schedule."

Best for Romantic Dining Because: Artango is owned by married couple, Maria and Sebastian Casanova. Maria is a tango dancer and he is an artist who designed the restaurant.
