Restaurants
You have to get the focaccia bread to start or the flaming burrata! I got the ricotta pillows for dinner along with a glass of wine! The vibes are impeccable!
etta | Neighborhood Italian Dining
Their brunch menu is amazing! The italian benedict or swedish pancakes are so good, get a bellini or mimosa to wash it all down!
3 Arts Club Cafe at RH Chicago
Try the arancini for dinner and affogato for dessert! They are to die for!
Acanto
Try the momo royale, raspberry passion dessert and matcha cocktail! I highly recommend!
Momotaro
You have to get the spritz purse and eat on the river! It’s a once in a lifetime experience!
Pizzeria Portofino
They have really good brunch options such as chilaquiles, french toast and even chicken and waffles but even better dinner options! This restaurant is also on the river!
River Roast
If you like seafood, this is the perfect place for you! They have so many options
RPM Seafood
Cute place on the river for pictures! I absolutely love the vibes! They definitely have a variety of food! I really like the avocado hummus and cheeseburger!
Beatnik On The River
You HAVE to try the prosciutto and egg pizza (I know it sounds weird but trust me it’s good)
Summer House Santa Monica
You gotta get the truffle fries along with the calamari or dynamite shrimp to start! Get the lobster roll next genuinely one of the best menu items!
The Hampton Social - River North
Best italian food in all of chicago! As a pasta lover, the vodka rigatoni was so good! Make sure you get the sticky date cake!
