Alla VitaAlla Vita

Image Credit: | https://guide.michelin.com/en/illinois/chicago/restaurant/alla-vita The Boka Restaurant Group is no stranger to quality, which you'll find in spades in this gorgeous room decorated with crystal pendants, hand-painted tile floors, and an amber-tinted sculpture floating overhead. Freshly made pasta, puffy-edged pizzas, and shareable entrées satisfy a range of cravings. There's the crowd favorite rigatoni alla vodka—at once sweet, creamy, and toothsome—as well as a confident half chicken, roasted and served with grilled lemon. Come lunch time, a long, rustic stone bar is a prime perch where fellow diners happily dig into some of the most satisfying sandwiches in town. You can linger over a bottle of wine or dash in and out for a quick bite. The professional staff will keep everything sailing smoothly either way.
