Why You Should Go: Our Declaration of Independence clearly states that all men are created equal. For better or worse, this same cannot be said of the food we eat, however, which is why it's time to appreciate the the innovative and fresh Italian fare at Tocco in trendy Wicker Park.

What You Should Order: This wine bar-cum-haute trattoria keeps ingredients fresh, simple and molto bella. The pizza at Tocco is practically an institution, held in high regard due to its cracker-thin crust and choice ingredients. Fresh salads, earthy pasta dishes, and a concise wine list provide ample options for all parties.

What You'll Love: The ambience at Tocco doesn't miss, and the sleek design elements and well-shod clientele make for a stunning dining environment. To quote the Michelin Guide, “still hotter than the crowd, the black and white dining room dons pink faux-ostrich leather walls, shiny white resin chairs and hip Italian furniture.” Consider our appetite whet.
