Bar Siena's walk-up dessert window, BomboBar, offers a riff on doughnuts - the "bomboloni" - an Italian hole-less doughnut Top Chef alum Fabio Viviani serves at his restaurants, Siena Tavern and Bar Siena. It's the specialty of the house at BomboBar and works wonderfully in the West Loop for dessert or post-party hunger pangs.
Order one, four, six or a dozen and any of six rotating custard flavors that you inject into the doughnut. There's Vanilla Bean Custard bomboloni, S'mores bomboloni, Salted Caramel and Nutella. Bomboloni is made-to-order and fried on-site then rolled in sugar and accompanied with its very own squeeze bottle of custard. Pair it with hot chocolate concoctions (spiked, too) or creamy gelatos with toppings.
BomboBar has a 24-person seating area to stay warm when the weather BomboBar opens another location in Old Town in 2019.

- Best for Dessert Because: A walk-up window offering hot Italian donuts in the West Loop, BomboBar hits the spot for dessert or round-the-clock sugar needs.
