Food Scene

Mostly Mexican & Italian, with coffee shops and some asian and american options thrown in for good measure.
Delicious breakfast, with some Mexican influences. Its also BYOB, so grab some prosecco to pair with their amazing fresh squeezed juice selection.

Its walkable from the house (2 blocks away) - everything on the menu is delicious...but the Pozole Verde steals the show! If you haven't had traditional Mexican soup try it here!

Dont be fooled by today's "Little Italy" on Taylor Street. Although they also have some amazing restaurants, if you want family owned Italian (and I mean generationally owned) head over to the "Heart of Chicago" on Oakley Ave where the original "Little Italy" took off. Get the Italian Sausage for the table!!
