The Scene
The easygoing staff greets customers enthusiastically at this old-school Italian gem, which has been around since the '50s--long before River North was a trendy gallery district and dining destination. Thankfully the place hasn't changed much, with weathered red vinyl booths, a cool tin ceiling, and a handsome long bar where regulars huddle over cocktails and smoke like chimneys.
The Food
The secret's in the sauce at Club Lago: Meaty, red and thick enough to be eaten with a fork, it elevates the honest, basic Italian fare to better-than-ma's status. Start with the scrumptious pizza bread with sausage and gooey cheese on chewy Italian bread. Meat and tangy sauce overflow from that same bread on an excellent meatball sandwich. Eggplant parmigiana, chicken Vesuvio and spaghetti dishes are good entree choices, with portions that make doggy bags a no-brainer. For dessert? Cannoli, of course.
