Amanda Cooper: Get the bacon, you'll thank me later! The shrimp are impressively large and my petite filet was perfectly cooked! Power lunch and date night dining!
Diego Reynoso: Great food everything from the steaks to the incredible smores desert (a must do)
Redeye Chicago: A steakhouse’s reason for being is typically the beef. But what you really want is the fried chicken. The crust glinted with salt and was adorned with candied orange zest and flecks of rosemary. Read more.

11. Bar Siena

832 West Randolph Street (Green), Chicago, IL
Italian Restaurant · Fulton Market · 46 tips and reviews
C Rey: Feels like a bar first place with food riding in the passenger seat. Try the pizza or short rib lasagna but save room for the wildly delicious dessert menu full of Bombobar pastries and coffees.
PureWow: Bar Siena offers Nutella calzones. Stuffed with vanilla-bean gelato and hazelnuts, the flaky treats are slathered in the maddeningly addictive chocolate sauce.
Olia B.: We waited the pizza an a hour and it was burned... Very good cocktails

Pizzeria · Lake View East · 47 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: An excellent old-school-Italian atmosphere in this Lakeview pizzeria. Try a thin crust pie in the heart of deep-dish country- you won't regret it.
Ryan G: The spingioni is a must eat.
Jeff Manalli: 4 locations: Rome, Naples, Palermo, and Chicago. Spingione (aka Scilian style pizza) has a thick fluffy crust unmatched in Chicago!

Steakhouse · Near North Side · 78 tips and reviews
Dana Danielle: Swanky steak house in a trendy spot in downtown Chicago! This place is busy every night. Good spot for friends, family, business and more. It's $$ but worth every dollar!
ISC Chicago: 14k chocolate cake: words fail me, it's that good
ISC Chicago: Appetizers and salads are large enough to share, and so are the sides. Save room for dessert, tempting though the menu is.
