A classic Chicago Italian menu where baked lasagna is treated as a core comfort order, not a novelty side. Best results come from keeping the meal in the red-sauce lane—lasagna as the anchor, then one parm or pasta plate that matches the same sauce profile.
Must-Try Dishes:
Baked Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, Penne Melanzane Alla Arrabiata
