Distinctive Cork

This swanky wine bar occupies the former La Piazza space south of downtown Naperville -- and the former chef is one of the partners in this venture. On the menu: create-your-own cheese plates and small plates such as mini tenderloin burgers, veal meatballs, seared diver scallops and lobster and shrimp risotto. A delectable dessert menu includes flourless chocolate cake, warm apple pot pie and fresh fruit with marscapone cheese. In addition to a wide selection of wines by the glass and bottle, there're also martinis and beer to choose from. Note: If you visited this spot during its first weeks open, you may recognize it as Twisted Cork. It changed names in August '07.
