Quartino Ristorante opened in December 2005 as the Italian project of chef and co-founder John Coletta. The Purple Pig Restaurant followed in 2009 under Jimmy Bannos Jr., a fourth-generation restaurateur who sharpened his knives in New York. Girl &amp; The Goat arrived in 2010, when Stephanie Izard turned a West Loop warehouse district into what is now America&#8217;s most famous Restaurant Row, and Alla Vita took over the former Bellemore space in September 2021 under Lee Wolen.<\/p>\n<p>The second axis is scenography. STK Steakhouse plays River North as a club, with a rippling light installation crossing the ceiling and a DJ working through dinner. Duck Duck Goat rebuilds a decades-old Chinatown banquet hall out of woven banquettes, vintage fans and flea-market finds, while Aba floats above Fulton Market as a rooftop greenhouse of olive trees and vines. Choose by the stage you want your evening played on.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<section id=\"summary\">\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a85fdf698321\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a85fdf698321\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago-trend.com\/en\/top-restaurants\/#Highlights\" >Highlights<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago-trend.com\/en\/top-restaurants\/#Opening_hours\" >Opening hours<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago-trend.com\/en\/top-restaurants\/#Full_ranking\" >Full ranking<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago-trend.com\/en\/top-restaurants\/#1_STK_Steakhouse_%C2%B7_%E2%AD%90_95\" >1.

If you want a program, not only dinner, River Roast fills its riverfront floors with live blues on weekends, The Dearborn sets Sunday brunch to live jazz, and Provare Chicago hides a speakeasy-style lounge with DJ sets downstairs. Every room here takes guests until late and works on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The limits are real. This is a downtown selection \u2014 River North, Fulton Market, the West Loop, the Loop and West Town \u2014 so the South Side and outer neighborhoods are absent. Italian and Mediterranean hold four of the ten places; apart from Duck Duck Goat&#8217;s Chinese kitchen and the Creole-Italian hybrid of Provare Chicago, no other Asian, Mexican or Indian cooking appears. And nothing here opens early: this is an evening list.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<footer>\n        <small>Data is refreshed monthly.
