Monteverde

Iconic/NotableWest Loop · Italian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1020 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60607

Sarah Grueneberg and partner Meg Sahgal opened Monteverde in the West Loop in 2015, built around Grueneberg's own handmade pasta -- she won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes in 2017, the same year the restaurant's glass-walled Pastificio pasta lab earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Tourist Friendly
Dish Gem$$
The butterscotch budino is the dessert that outshines a lot of the savory menu, which is a real accomplishment given how good the rest of the meal is.

Diners can watch the pasta actually get made through the glass, not just read about it on the menu.
