What can I say? It's the "veelajay" as my Uncle Louie called it. He was a fixture on there staff for eons and my family has so many memories here. This is the place for heavy duty family gatherings as well as romantic date spot. It's near the beautiful Chicago Lyric Opera House & is thee place for post operatic drinks and eats. If someone is not familiar with it, it is a compilation of separate dining rooms each with their own decor and ambience. From casual to sophisticated, whatever your mood. It makes up the "village".
The Capitanini family have been running this for generations and they are pure class. The food is incredible and you will find offerings not available anywhere else. As everyone knows, I'm choosy about my Italian restaurants and this one is a gem with a dear place in my heart. They have award winning cuisine and one of the largest restaurant wine cellars in the country. If you are a visitor to Chicago do yourself a favor and visit the village because it is more than just food, it is an experience.
Pros: World class fare in the heart of the loop.
Cons: none
