Acerca de este restaurante

Bueno para ocasiones especiales
Encantador
Ideal para disfrutar vinos finos

Billy Lawless se complace en anunciar un nuevo capítulo en la vida del edificio histórico Gage: la apertura del Acanto. La palabra "acanto" es la traducción italiana de "acanthus", la hoja de flores utilizada ampliamente en la arquitectura romana y por el famoso arquitecto Louis Sullivan en su distintiva ornamentación en terracota en la fachada de este edificio histórico situado en el número 18 de South Michigan Avenue. El Acanto ofrece cocina rústica italiana en un ambiente informal y acogedor. Al mando de la cocina, el chef ejecutivo Chris Gawronski prepara pastas artesanales, platos de pescado, pizzas al horno de piedra y la carta de carnes frías. El director de bebidas, Jon McDaniel, se encarga de emparejar de forma perfecta los platos italianos con su bebida correspondiente. Basándose en sus temporadas viviendo en Trento y Piamonte, Jon ofrece vinos cuidadosamente seleccionados de las 20 regiones vinícolas de Italia, cervezas de barril italianas y cócteles de inspiración italiana ideados por el director de bebidas alcohólicas Michael Page.

This is the first time we have been back to Acanto in some time. It's a great spot after the Grant Park Music Festival Concert in Millennium Park. The ambiance is good and the wait staff is very attentive. We went with another couple and we all had the Lobster Ravioli. Two of us also had the pear salad as a starter. The pear salad with watercress is very hard to eat. The salad sounds good, but it's too large and does not work well. The Lobster Ravioli is fine, but not great. In general, I would say Acanto is a good restaurant, not a great restaurant. They have some work to do.

The food is always solid at Acanto. This visit we had the Carpaccio, Burrata salad, both highly recommend, the Lobster Ravioli, and Branzino both delicious although I favored the Branzino a bit more. Our server, Jan was not only helpful with menu selections, but was prompt, attentive but not at all intrusive.

Went here with my mother for brunch. Had the Fusilli which was exceptionally good. An old fashion to go with is also pleasant. Bought a spicy Calabrese pizza to go which was pretty decent, but not out of this world. The servers and waiters were extremely attentive. I'd would recommend definitely for a date night.
