Pizza and Wine = Winning Combo


One of my favorite restaurants is a neighborhood gem in West Lakeview - Frasca: Pizzeria and Wine Bar (http://www.frascapizzeria.com). There are great deals/discounts Sunday - Thursday. The two deals that I can't resist are Mondays when bottles of wine are all half price and Wednesdays for buy 1 pizza get 1 free!

Frasca is casual Italian-inspired restaurant and wine bar featuring a large wood-burning oven and a 35-seat bar fitted with river-rock, and there's both booth and banquette seating. The menu features a selection of starters such as the antipasto board where you get to select from various cured meats, cheeses, bruschettas and accompaniments. For the main attraction choose from thin crust pizzas (the caponata being my favorite), homemade pastas or several meat and seafood entrees. I have never saved enough room for dessert but next time I will try as the homemade doughnuts and gelato sound fantastic!

I highly recommend you giving this place a try. Great for visiting family members or a group of your friends.

Parking is a little difficult but the el is convenient as the Paulina Red line is only steps away.
