Chicago Restaurant Tips by reenby

Restaurant Name: Cru Café and Wine Bar

This was my favourite wine bar. Its of of those lounges with sofas and tables and a long long wine list. Everyone is dressed to make an impression and are very aware of themselves - great fun to watch.

We had some delicious wines and they also serve a selection of lovely little nibbles with the wine on request.

Restaurant Name: Pizzeria Uno/Pizzeria Due

Pizzeria Uno does warn that it takes a long time to make a deep pan pizza but we figured it would be worth the wait.

When our pizza finally arrived I was very disappointed. It is deep as promised, but its also heavy, doughy and topped with way too much tomato sauce - all I could taste was tomato while chewing a mound of dough. I only ate a quarter and gave up.

Compare that to the wonderful pizzas of Italy, thin bases, smothered in all sorts of toppings and only a smear of tomato - theres really no comparason.

I expect all deep pan pizzas are the same so maybe its unfair to pick on this restaurant, but it is the one we visited,.
