Eastern European Restaurant · Noble Square · 31 tips and reviews
Justine Jablonska: Nothing fancy to look at but OH SO DEELISH. Soups are soooo good; served with sides of fresh Polish bread and butter. Also love their nalesniki (blintzes). And their cutlets. And oh so affordable!
Jeff Weinstein: Potato pancakes, pork cutlet, and beet juice. The woman running the place is totally in charge, just say yes.
Aubre: Kielbasa and potato pierogi. To-go or inside. Just do it.

Indian Restaurant · Fulton Market · 10 tips and reviews
C R: Jackfruit cutlet and mint chutney is the bomb!
ashish rastogi: Small plates are outstanding! Cauliflower dish was the star!
Smriti Sinha: Fusion style Indian food if you’re up for adventure! Most unique menu options I’ve ever seen — avocado chat, duck kulcha, jackfruit kofta, tuna bhel! The cocktails are amazing & sorted by taste notes!
Chris Swingler: A good 'za. I think next time I'll order it well done and it will be perfect. (To beat: Wells Bros in Racine, WI)
Simon & Schuster: Al Capone’s sister had a deli here. Now, it’s a family joint that manages to be BOTH Irish & Italian, with great pizza and terrific corned beef. This is the oldest of the 4 Fox’s restaurants. Read more.
Kenneth Barnes: Great pizza
Edelweiss German/American Restaurant: DAILY LENT LUNCH SPECIAL: Two Grilled Tilapia Tacos with coleslaw, pico de gallo, fresh cilantro and guacamole all nestled in corn tortillas served with coleslaw and homemade Cajun potato chips $8.95
Chicago magazine: When the urge for a few steins, a heaping platter of sausages, and crispy-skinned roast duck strikes, this Teutonic stalwart and its oompah band await. Read more.
Therese Kono: Simply the BEST! PROST!

Italian Restaurant · Heart of Chicago · 11 tips and reviews
Mary A Akers: Chicken with Lemon was the Best!!!
Jeff Willinger: The best advise I can give is to go to another place. UNLESS you have 2-3 hours for dinner in a non-A/C place, go somewhere else.
Margo Andrews: Lasagna, clam sauce, and gnocchi were awesome! As well as the bread and more importantly, the service!
Donna Johnson: This park is small but has something for everyone. A walk along the river, hills for picnics, a lot of benches for reading, a dog park, a playground for kids and it is near restaurants.
Kevin Newby: On a cold, sunny day, lay down on the play surface and act like a cat.
Kenny K: Expanded park reopened 7/19/12 with more swings, patio tables w/shade covers, and large half dome climbing structures. Renamed Montgomery Ward Park. Finally! They got it right this time.

Kristin Kronberg: Stuffed artichoke, meat lasagna, and thin crust pizza all delicious. Great fresh ingredients for pizza!
Kirb Torres: Some of my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza. Try the spinach and sausage thin crust or deep dish.
Nicole P: Best Italian food in Chicago. Homemade and made to order, you can't go wrong. Come with a full stomach, portions are huge and service is wonderul!
