It doesn't matter where in the world you are; sometimes the craving for melt-in-your-mouth pastas and delectable pizza pies is undeniable. Luckily, in Chicago no one will have to look far for fresh pasta or tiramisu. These great restaurants are spread throughout the city, but for an authentic experience make your way to Little Italy, home of many of Chicago's Italian immigrants. Though not a large area, it is worth the trek for the cuisine. Wherever your day lands you, a pleasurable dining experience awaits.
