This Lincoln Park Italian restaurant is painted and decorated to resemble a typical Bolognese home. Among the many made-from-scratch pastas on the menu, the tagliatelle with bolognese ragu is among the most popular. For dessert, try the torta della nonna (cake with cream filling, garnished with a wild berry cream sauce).
