Piccolo Mondo

Lovely old-fashioned restaurant, and they're all about the pasta, which is great! I absolutely loved my Gnocchi which was perfect with the mozzarella, but then had regrets once I tasted my wife's Fruit de Mer Pasta where the taste of seafood was just overwhelmingly incredible. The Fried Calamari was also tasty, but worked better with just a lemon squeeze. I also recommend saving your bread for the pasta sauce. The Tiramisu was perfect but keep in mind it does have 3 alcohols in it. I preferred if they mentioned that in the menu so we wouldn't have ordered it. Otherwise a great meal!

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Hyde park. Their lunch specials (cookie, sandwiches and coffee) combination is my favorite. This place truly feels like a cafe in that you can come with friends, share coffee and light snacks and talk while enjoying the ambience.

We stumbled upon this charming Italian cafe during a birthday getaway to Chicago and loved it. Authentic food and beautiful views of green space through large windows, this place is a hidden gem. Perfect luncheon!
