Suggestions for Food and Beverage Retail near Chicago

Joe S. • January 28, 2012This is one of the best places in Chicago for authentic Italian & Sicilian food. Open seating for lunch, great sweets as well. They also have frozen ravioli etc for you to cook at home.

Margaret P. • February 19, 2014A hidden gem -- amazing variety and selection. All spices are roasted and created on site, too for added freshness!

Ian F. • June 5, 2014Great shop with an impressive and complete roster of Chicago beers. Friendly staff as well

Zack G. • August 19, 2018Wonderful public market that features tons of locally sourced meats, cheeses, beers and produce. Won’t have everything you need, but a great place to start.

Keith H. • October 10, 2022The tacos are delicious & they have ample outdoor seating space. I’d suggest the mushroom taco (special item), brisket taco, fish taco, or shrimp taco. All were amazing!

Javier G. • March 10, 2014The oxtail is fantastic but the breaded steak is the absolute best thing on the menu. The flan is the best I've had in a long time.
