- CCarolGoldChicago / Illinois •59 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoA nice option for Sunday brunch. There is a new chef so some menu items were unavailable. That said, the rib eye steak salad and the salmon Niçoise salad were terrific. The omelet and eggs Benedict were also tasty—both came with a choice of potatoes or green salad sides. Looking forward to the new menu options on the horizon.More infoThe Little Gem Restaurant$$$$• Contemporary American• Oak Park•4.3

- FFranGoldChicago / Illinois •103 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 30, 2026A co-worker of my wife, whose husband works in the Italian import industry told her about Piacere Mio. Each time we've visited we have not been disappointed! The food is Italian through and through but also a little inventive with some great ingredients. We shared a pear salad with goat cheese and it was outstanding! Both our entrees were really delicious! And it is a great value pricewise as well. It's kind of a nice undiscovered Italian secret in Forest Park! Check this place out. You will be happy you did. I only wish it was closer to where we live.More infoPiacere Mio$$$$• Italian• Forest Park•4.7

Discover Chicago
Winds whipping off Lake Michigan are no match for hungry Chicagoans in pursuit of the ultimate burger and a respite from brutal winters. Historically at the heart of the meat industry, the city’s slaughterhouses now house tony Michelin-starred restaurants, and deep-dish is just one of countless takes on Italian American staples in town. Arguably the American capital of molecular gastronomy, Chicago is at once a trendsetter and the capital of casual. Calling all carnivores.
