Mia Francesca
ITALIAN
Figo Wine Bar was born to bring a taste of Italy to Chicago locals and to indulge patrons in exquisite tastes inspired by an exquisite culture . At Figo Wine Bar , Italian food is more than just pizza and spaghetti - it ’ s bold , delicious and satisfying without being heavy . Sip on a variety of wines while you enjoy small plates in a comfortable atmosphere .
Since Restaurateur and Chef Scott Harris opened the doors to the original Mia Francesca location on North Clark Street in 1992 , this restaurant has been a Lakeview East tradition . This small , welcoming trattoria offers handwritten menus of classic Italian favorites in an ambiance of casual sophistication , where simple food with quality ingredients and thoughtful service make a meal . The cooking is simple and rustic , the service is friendly , and the prices are fair . Mia Francesca created a trend in the Chicago restaurant scene that has become a benchmark for urban dining ; it was one of the first restaurants to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary , casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance . Mia Francesca credits include Chicago Magazine ’ s Critic ’ s Choice- Rookie of the Year .
