    Wonderful Italian food at resonable prices. Their pasta and meat/seafood dishes are all flavorful and huge portions. I recommend doubling up with a dinner partner and ordering a pasta and meat dish. They will split it up for your on two plates. Then you get to taste a little of both!

    This spanish tapas restuarant is the perfect place to go with a large group. You order tapas (small appetizers) throughout the meal. The whole setting encourages a casual eating expereince with conversation and fun. The restuarant is decorated with Spanish muriels and decorations that make you feel like your in Spain. Its wonderful!

    Favorite Dish: The escargot tapas is rich but incredible and the goat cheese with marinara sauce must item to be ordered. Their Sangria is excellent- not too tart and they are constantly filling your glass with fresh fruit and more ice!

    This charming Italian restaurant is in an old house located in a residntial neighborhood in Lincoln Park. Each room of the house has been transformed into a dinning area. It makes you feel like your eating in a house in the middle of Italy.

    Favorite Dish: Any of the pasta dishes are wonderful. Be careful not to fill up on bread which is served with a flavorful olive oil.

     Come on, this is a little ridiculous. Of course there are pickpockets, etc., as there is in ANY large city in ANY busy tourist area, but blanket statements rapes and murders"? Stick to specifics, not just repeating what you think you've heard from people.    		mmorgan Thu Oct 26, 2000 17:14 UTC
