Acanto - Chicago
Acanto
Description
Famous for its authentic and approachable Italian cuisine, Acanto Restaurant Wine Bar is located across from Millennium Park on Chicago's Cultural Mile. The restaurant sources artisanal ingredients from Midwest farmers to create seasonally-driven dishes from all regions of Italy. Acanto also offers an impressive wine program, with accolades from World of Fine Wine and Wine Spectator. In addition to classic Italian drinks like spritzes and negronis, the menu features craft cocktails, beer, and spirits. The name "Acanto" is the Italian translation of Acanthus, a flowery leaf seen in Roman architecture and famously used by architect Louis Sullivan in the terra cotta ornamentation on the historic building that houses the restaurant.

Excellent evening. We created a tasting menu for two by ordering and sharing 2 appies (frito misto, meatballs), pear salad, seafood pasta and dessert. It was excellent. Wine pairings were good. The almost Pinot noir was pleasant. Neighbourhood gem!
We had the best meal of our lives here. Pear salad, Arancini, Gnocchi al Forno, a d Chicken Piccata. Can you say heaven?
Acanto is a very nice upscale Italian restaurant kind of tucked in on Michigan Avenue next to the Gahe )s fine restaurant also). Solid food, strong service and a comfortable candle lit atmosphere. .
Love love this restaurant! I’d argue that it is one of the top places in Chicago as it has such a fabulous dinning atmosphere and the food is always exceptional! Would forever recommend! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner
