Chicago Foodie Diary | Classical Oil Painting Vibe Italian Restaurant

It is said to be the most difficult Italian restaurant to book in Chicago. When I was traveling, I checked it the morning before and suddenly found a spot, so I booked it immediately. As someone who doesn't like carbs, I have to say that their pasta is really delicious~ And they also offer small portions, so you can try all the styles you want to eat, which is friendly to those who have difficulty choosing. They open at 4 pm and only serve dinner. The store is not big, with only a few tables, but the atmosphere is great. The store is decorated very romantically, with a whole wall of vintage paintings, which is perfect for a date. ✨Ciccio Mio✨ 📍Address: 226 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654 🕙Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday 16:00-22:30 Friday to Saturday 16:00-23:00 💰Price: $80 per person ✨Steak & Anchovy Tartare✨ This dish is recommended by many people in the reviews, so I ordered one to try. The beef is very fresh, and the seasoning is a bit heavy, but it goes well with the bread. ✨Pasta✨ If you have difficulty choosing, you can directly choose a small portion combination, so you can taste each one. I personally prefer Lasagna Bolognese, the pasta is very chewy and delicious, and the small pieces of lobster meat in Lobster Rigatoni are also delicious with the pasta. ✨Pavlova✨ Petal-shaped dessert, in terms of evaluation, it is only suitable for viewing, not for tasting. It tastes a bit industrially sweet, so you can remove the sugar cake around it and only eat the ice cream in the middle.
