- KPKenPNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI was there for a special 4 course Tuscan diner with wine pairings (and a talk with the Tuscan wine producer), and dessert. One of the best meals I have had in a long time for an amazing value. Everything was perfectly prepared. And the regular menu is some of the best Italian cuisine in the Chicagoland area at an affordable price. I will keep coming back.More infoPiacere MioPrice: Moderate• Italian• Forest Park•4.8

- TTable42pleasevipChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoDined with a party of 7 on a Wednesday evening. Ambience was good, very lively. Maybe a bit loud as I had some difficulty hearing my friends who were not right next to me. Food was excellent. Especially enjoyed the cerviche and the guacamole. Also, excellent margaritas. Usually, I only have one alcoholic drink with a meal but I made an exception had 2 margaritas. Service was very good. Informative and helpful in answering questions we had. Friendly. Attentive for refilling water, removing used dishes. Did not feel rushed. Very enjoyable meal. Definitely recommend and will definitely go again.More infoMaya Del SolPrice: Moderate• Latin American• Oak Park•4.8

Winds whipping off Lake Michigan are no match for hungry Chicagoans in pursuit of the ultimate burger and a respite from brutal winters. Historically at the heart of the meat industry, the city’s slaughterhouses now house tony Michelin-starred restaurants, and deep-dish is just one of countless takes on Italian American staples in town. Arguably the American capital of molecular gastronomy, Chicago is at once a trendsetter and the capital of casual. Calling all carnivores.
