What's the best Italian restaurant in Chicago?

I'm looking for a place to go that serves homestyle Italian cuisine that could be right from your Grandmas's kitchen. Where's the best place to go in Chicago?What's the best Italian restaurant in Chicago?
I think Ignotz is great. Very reasonably priced, and everything I've tried there has been delicious. Plus it has that nice neighborhoody feel to it. Enjoy! :)
Giordanos!!What's the best Italian restaurant in Chicago?
I like Monasteros on Devon Ave. just east of Pulaski. It has been there for over 40 years, the family runs it. They have singing waitors and the food is delicious.
RoSal's Italian Cucina on Taylor Street. Best Italian food around!!What's the best Italian restaurant in Chicago?
Try "Coco Pazzo." At Coco Pazzo, the focus is a straightforward dedication to the essence of Tuscan cuisine and culture.



The Scene

Dramatic velvet curtains frame windows and separate sections of this loft space, a favorite of River North diners. Rustic wood floors, exposed beams, soft lighting and whimsical centerpieces take the edge off serious business.



The Food

The menu offers carefully planned, lusty Italian fare. Start with grilled oyster mushrooms, toasty and peppery, over baby spinach. Other antipasti include cod croquettes, calamari, wild boar ragu and seared beef carpaccio. Creative entrees include pheasant breast, Peking duck, venison, veal and a 26-ounce rib eye. North Atlantic salmon wins high praise--sweet and moist, served with an earthy medley of Swiss chard, grapes and thyme. The lamb special (never on the menu, always offered) is a must. Pasta dishes are rich and flavorful, such as the farfalle pasta with mushrooms, peas, pesto-tomato sauce and goat cheese. Killer desserts include peanut- and chocolate-swirl ice cream with toasted peanuts.

La Trattoria is wonderful!
Bucco De Beppo or something that sounds like that (The spelling may be off). It is very family oriented and very good. The ravioli's are delicious.
