Set at a busy junction in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, this popular restaurant is named after the owner's great-grandfather. The contemporary trattoria's bright and bold design is eye-catching, with black-and-white floors and a curved bar with counter seating for taking in views of the open kitchen. Simple and straightforward is the name of the game here, where the emphasis is on terrific homemade pasta dishes. Linguini with shrimp scampi, lasagna Bolognese, or the ever-comforting spaghetti with meatballs are just a few of their hits. Add a selection from the all-Italian wine list to complete the experience.
