These are restaurants that I have tried before and after my dairy free journey. If you are ever in Illinois and need recommendations go ahead and try for yourself.

Loved the carbonara and tiramisu
Quartino Ristorante
My childhood favorite restaurant!! Even to this day their torta de asada is the best I’ve ever tried.
INDIO RESTAURANT - 6037 W Cermak Rd, Cicero, Illinois
Most desserts I try are vegan but in case you are dairy free as well i recommend the brownies and cookies. Have yet to try their cheesecake.
Logan Vegan
Their vegan waffles are some of the best I’ve ever tried. They also have a whole vegan menu.
Lucky Penny Deli Cafe
I have found my second favorite torta de asada. The steak is delicious. Small restaurant inside a slot machine lounge.

All their vegan donuts are delicious. I think the glazed is better than Krispy Kreme’s.
