The Scene
Gracious service and a reputation for excellence have made this elegant space in the basement of the stately Margarita Inn an Evanston classic. A chatty crowd of professionals and NU students with parents in tow fill the inviting dining room, which boasts classic Romanesque decor, complete with columns; the textured golden walls are covered with tasteful paintings of Italian street scenes.
The Food
Va Pensiero's hearty, ever-changing Italian fare impresses with inventive flavor combinations and artful presentation. A Parmesan basket brims with chunks of tender scallops and shiitake mushrooms; pistchio pesto brings pan-sauteed tiger shrimp deliciously to life. One delicious pasta dish presents savory artichokes, roasted tomatoes and roasted chicken, all bathing in a sweet lemon rosemary cream beneath perfect parsley pasta sheets. Meat and pasta plates include succulent pan-roasted veal medallions with white truffle polenta, and flaky roasted salmon with a subtle mustard mascarpone glaze.
