Absolutely love this restaurant... tell your "special someone" that you will be dining in Florence, Rome or Tuscany tonight... and head out to this charming restaurant where several booths have the names of cities in Italy engraved on wooden signs! The linguine with clam sauce is our favorite... all fresh fish dishes are done to perfection... lasagna sooo good! their special appetizer platter has baked clams, fried zucchini, calamari, and lots of other delicious goodies. The night we dined at Basilico's, they had ribboned lobster ravioli which paid tribute to the colors on the Italian flag. Love their house chianti and their daily specialties are truly unique. Pass up all those expensive restaurants in Lincoln Park/Square, etc. and head out to a warm and friendly place. Our families make special trips several times a year just for a get-together to enjoy their wonderful food. The owners are at the door to greet you as you enter "a little bit of Italy on Cumberland".
Pros: Food, decor, friendliness
Cons: none

This is a nice place to go when it is really cold, snowy, or rainy. You can sit down at the cafe and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee while reading a large selection of magazines and books. They also have nice little sandwiches and desserts. In addition, they have a punch card for your coffee. For every 10 punches, you get a free drink. They also carry CDs and DVDs. You can scan the CD and listen to a portion of the CD to make sure you like it before you buy it. Who likes to buy a CD and then you end up only liking two songs? That's a waste of money. My husband, daughter and I can easily spend a few hours in here on a quiet Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon. Also, sign up for their email newsletter and you will frequently get a coupon for 20% or more your purchase.

This is a very authentic German restaurant/pub. The walls are filled with decorative plates and paintings from their homeland. The cuisine is also authentic and first rate. The portions are quite hearty as are most of their patrons and servers. It has a very homey and warm atmosphere. It's like stepping off Irving Park Rd. right into an Austrian pub/restaurant. They have lots of German beers on tap and in the bottle. The bar area is rather smokey and loud, I prefer to head right to the dining area and have a quiet meal. Their service is outstanding.

Jay's beef carries on the great tradition of Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. The meat is extremely lean and is piled on a pure Gonella Italian bun. The secret recipe for their gravy smothers the sandwich with juicy taste. care for something spicy? Ask for the hot giardenera to get your heart pounding a little faster.

Coming from a German-American family I can honestly say (and Oma would kill me for saying this), but this is the best German food I have ever had! I have been to the Berghoff several times, and it is good. But Edelweiss makes it look like a museum.
Edelweiss is alive and bubbling with good food, and good people, and better atmosphere. If you ever get a chance, then try the Oktoberfest (held in September) feast! You will not regret it.
Beifall!
Pros: Food, Good variety of beers, Atmosphere
Cons: Music can be too much, Parking

Pizza has never been my choice of food, but when it comes to Villa Napoli- bring it all and let me eat all alone! The crust is thin enough to hold a good inch of cheese...My fave pizza is tomato garlic and I could eat that 24/7, hot or cold, breakfast or dinner. For many of my friends who come from all over Chicago and areas around that is the food choice of the night. In fact some just come over to visit as long as Villa Napoli is served. Never had an issue- delivery as super quick, and even on a Sat night dont have to wait more than 40min.
One thing about them- the sauce used to be much spicier, now it's a bit on the sweet side, but crushed red peppers do the trick.
Pros: Cheese loaded and fresh

I haven't been to many Targets, but I do know I like it better than Walmart. But is Target is awesome, especially since it is a mere 20 minute walk from where I live. It is absolutely amazing. I have never seen more a single scrap on the floor, and 5 minutes later it would be gone. The selection is excellent, and it has a very nice atmosphere. The cart escalator is another fun thing, and the fact that it is in the Harlem-Irving Plaza is another bonus. The staff is great, and will tolerate even the most annoying people. Overall, it is an excellent store for what it is.
