10Best Says

For Northern Italian cuisine, Tuscany is a fine choice in Little Italy that's as popular with Millennials as it is with business folks and families with grannies and kids. The Phil Stefani classic has delivered rich Tuscan flavor and juicy Italian wines to Chicago for over a quarter century. During brisk Chicago winters, the scent of wood-fired gourmet pizzas is positively heavenly. Enjoy a menu curated by Executive Chef Victorio Padilla: one-of-a-kind pasta dishes like the popular Ravioli Pera (roasted pear, Parmigiano, toasted nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, mascarpone cream); perfectly prepared steak, veal and chicken dishes; as well as fresh seafood. In the summer, get a seat on the elevated patio offering the sights of Little Italy. Consider ordering a glass from Phil's favorite hometown vineyard - Fattoria di Montechiari. The restaurant also has two suburban locations, in Oak Brook and Wheeling.
