Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

Very flavorful and well constructed dishes. Short ribs were outstanding. A bit pricey but worth it.

This is our go-to place when attending events at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts and it doesn't disappoint. Because we waited too late to book a table at our preferred time, we came a bit earlier and ate at the bar. Worked out great and the bartender was very attentive. Had the ribs for the first time and they were delicious; apparently the BBQ sauce is made in-house.

EJ’s Place is our go to restaurant for a great meal and awesome service. They have something for everyone: awesome steak, fresh fish and their meat sauce in their spaghetti is top notch. The valet is complimentary so it’s easy to get in and out (although the guys are super friendly and deserve a decent gratuity too.). We highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

Unfortunately service was a bit slow due to what looked like 1 wait person for the area. Noise level got a bit energetic. Food is always good.
