A Mano

This spot from the Bin 36 crew has updated its menu, in large part without missing a beat. You’ll still find salumi, like culatello, sopressata and mole salami as well as cheese plates and wood-fired pizzas topped with the likes of Taleggio or clams. However, the focus---once a bit more exploratory---now leans on well-executed Italian classics like spaghetti and meatballs and rotisserie chicken. Pastas are earthy and rustic, as in garganelli with wild boar ragù, and the fish of the day (where creativity shines) is first rate. Italian wines by the carafe keep the bar tab down; you’d be smart to gravitate toward Brian Duncan’s house-made labels, too. Gelato, made in-house, continues to be a major draw.

The Art of Pizza

Pizzeria Uno

In 1943, when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Americans ate pizza primarily as a snack. Ike figured that if you combined some of Italy's old, authentic recipes with impressive quantities of the finest meats, fresh cheeses, ripe vegetables and flavorful spices, pizza would become a hearty meal. It was the start of an American tradition - the Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Ike's Original Deep Dish Pizza has been imitated many times, but never quite duplicated.
