Ciccio Mio

Ciccio Mio is a small Italian-American restaurant on West Kinzie Street in River North, with a dim, old-fashioned dining room hung with paintings and chandeliers. Pasta is made in house, and the menu leans on red-sauce favorites, including lasagna Bolognese rotolo, spicy rigatoni vodka, chicken Vesuvio and a coal-fired ribeye. Tiramisu and cannoncini filled with Piedmont pastry cream close out the menu.
