Watch

The Bristol

The Bristol has a gastropub atmosphere with an impressive cocktail and beer menu. They approach their food with a nose-to-tail mindset.

Uru Swati

Uru Swati offers a menu of flavorful, vegetarian Indian dishes in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. You will find traditional samosas, dosa, masala, and paneer, as well as house-made naan and garlic breads. Very reasonably priced. Catch a little Bollywood on TV while you’re there too!  A BYOB restaurant.

Italian Village

This is one of Chicago’s oldest restaurants and it is still run by the original Capitanini family. A classic Italian menu is complemented by a professional and knowledgeable staff serving you in a warm and whimsical Italian village setting that is really three restaurants in one place: The Village, La Cantina Enoteca, and Vivere.
