Javier Haro is behind this restaurant in the Heart of Italy in Chicago's Lower West Side, featuring pintxos (pronounced pin-tchoss) --the Basque Country's version of tapas. The menu features Spanish tapas, pinxtos and a handful of large plates. Entrees include a rib-eye steak with a Cabrales cheese demi-glace and roasted chicken topped with serrano ham, goat cheese and a chorizo-pimiento demi-glace. Kalimotxo, which is similar to Sangria but with a dash of Coca Cola, is a specialty cocktail. Although Haro is the owner's last name, it's also a city in the La Rioja region of Spain -- the eatery's wine list favors wines from that region. The intimate space blends old-world and modern Spain with ceramic tiles, rustic woods and original artwork. There is an emphasis on entertainment, with flamenco music and dance shows, film screenings and Spanish poetry readings.
