Whether it’s the seascapes of the Amalfi Coast, sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, or romantic piazzas of Rome, there’s a piece of Italy that is beckoning all of us right now. And while current circumstances are keeping us away from the real-deal a little while longer, there is some locally sourced comfort to be found—all through Chicago’s rich culinary scene.

Sicilian street food in Avondale, Piemonte-inspired plates in Logan Square, and Roman-style slices are just a few of the ways Chicago Italian restaurants are showcasing the different flavors of the Bel Paese, all of which are on offer to diners looking to escape city-limits living, if only for an evening.
