- RRomanChicago / Illinois •70 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat presentation, great service, and interesting dishes. Prices are a bit steep on certain items and the quantity you get is not much. Portions are a bit small but very tasty. We will be back to try a few other things. We spent $200 for two people for Valentine's day dinner.More infoAnelyaPrice: Expensive• Ukrainian• Avondale•4.7

- LLexiDetroit / Eastern Michigan •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoOur experience at Mano A Mano was fantastic! We went right as they opened on a weeknight and it felt so intimate. I was really smitten with the dim lighting and all of the furnishings--really beautiful space. Our server was sweet and had a very contagious energy, and everyone we spoke to was amicable and warm! The happy hour deal is the value play, for sure--the pizza you get when you order a bottle of wine is the best in the area (and there's TONS of great pizza a stone's throw away). It's chewy without being tough, the salt level of the cheeses was perfect, and the crust was perfectly crispy on the bottom. We also ordered two entrees and while everything tasted AMAZING (the bone marrow and short rib agnolotti were unique and perfectly al dente), we're big eaters, so we felt like the portions were a little small for entree prices. We were grateful that we'd eaten the pizza before our entrees! The tiramisu was fluffy and creamy, and the gelato we sampled for our birthday treat was delicious and custardy. The meal was very leisurely paced (in a good way) where I never felt rushed with too many plates on the table. We didn't have a single bad bite of food here, and we'll come back to take advantage of that happy hour deal again. Thanks for a memorable experience!More infoMano a ManoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Logan Square•4.7
- MMichaelNew York City •18 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAndros Taverna is such a great spot to get Greek food that has a really nice flare to it. There are lots of Greek places in Chicago that are really casual. At Andros, everything is really fresh, and all of the dishes have a good little elevation to them that makes them feel very authentic, but also really exciting. The space is really well done. It's nice enough that you feel fine dressing up and having a fancy date, but cool enough that you can come in a tshirt and jeans. It's a great balance. Our service was really fantastic. The host greeted us really warmly and took us straight to our table, and our server walked us through everything, and did just the right amount of checking in on us and paying attention to when we might need more drinks or be interested in some additional dishes.More infoAndros TavernaPrice: Moderate• Greek• Logan Square•4.7

Discover Avondale
Polish is spoken as much as English in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood. These streets are home to generations of Polish families, so you can expect kielbasa, pierogis and sauerkraut to be staples in the dining fare. The multicultural population means that you'll find that local menus bear the influences of Eastern European as well as various Latino cultures. The nearby Irving Park neighborhood, which is lined with Victorian homes and Chicago bungalows, has historically been a home for many Serbians. European delis and bakeries offering Balkan cuisine, consisting of different types of smoked meats, kabobs and delicate pastries, are neighborhood fixtures. Amid the rich multicultural fabric of Avondale and Irving Park, the dive bars, cafes and full-service trattoria still serve as prime hangouts for the younger crowd.
