A West Loop Italian room built around house-made pastas, wood-fired pizza, and share-first ordering that keeps the table moving. The strongest play is one pasta lane plus one wood-fired starter, then stop before the order sprawls. It’s best for a dress-up dinner that still feels lively and current.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rigatoni alla vodka, Wood-fired meatballs, Ricotta dumplings
What makes it special: House-made pasta plus wood-fired pizza in a modern West Loop room.
Forno Rosso brings VPN-style Neapolitan pies to Randolph, with blistered, soft-centered crusts and D.O.C.-leaning toppings baked in a roaring wood oven. Diners lean on it for sit-down dinners that feel more Italian trattoria than bar, with a deep pizza section plus antipasti and wine.
Must-Try Dishes:
Caputo Cup Winning Datterino pizza, Margherita pizza, Tre Carne pizza
What makes it special: Certified-style Neapolitan pizzas with imported ingredients and serious oven work.

Margherita Pizza, Sgt. Pepper pizza, Burrata Be Kidding Me pizza
What makes it special: Large patio-driven pizza bar where scene, drinks, and pizzas meet.
