From the kitchen to the bar, everything we serve is defined by a passion for exploring unique flavor combinations. Wood is more than a name: our wood-fired oven is at the heart of it all, enhancing a dynamic menu of small-plate, American fare, made with the peak midwest farm produce each season has to offer. Though the dishes regularly change, they are defined by a few constants: meat is butchered in-house from humanely-raised animals; vegetables are drawn from local family farms; and all pastas and sausages are freshly made. Lead by our talented Executive Chef Devin Kreller, who is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, Chef Devin uses French-dominated cooking techniques combined with multicultural inspirations such as Asian and Italian to create new dishes. Located in the heart of Chicago Boystown, we're known for our brunches, and house butchered meats. Come see why our restaurant has been around for 12 years. For reservations over 10 guests, please call us at (773) 935-9663.

In 1943, on the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago, Uno Founders, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, created the original and legendary Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. They combined authentic Italian recipes with the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses and baked them in a unique and delicious deep dish crust, creating a hearty pizza like no other. Today, Uno’s Deep Dish Pizza is still made as it was then, with dough made fresh daily, hand stretched and covered with meats, hand-cut vegetables and freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We put that same attention to detail in all our menu items, including pasta, salads, burgers, steaks and seafood and our new Love All, Feed All™ menu – which includes our 600-calorie-or-less Uno De-Lites, as well as our Gluten-Sensitive, Carb-Conscious, Vegetarian and Vegan offerings. So come by and let us help you create memories with your family and friends at Uno.

I had not been to Coco Pazzo in years- it just has been on my “radar” - there are SO many good restaurants. My friend suggested it and as soon as I walked in the good memories came back. It has a warm, subtle elegance in its decor… the food was also was good as I remembered and the service was first-class. Our server happened to be fluent in French and Italian as well as English. We stayed for 3 hours and no one suggested we should hurry up or leave. I’ll be back soon.

Great experience. We had a few food items that I wish had a little more flavor and seasoning (roasted vegetables) but the pastas and pizza were delicious. Recommend playing better music. Doesn’t have to be Italian (although I think that would be great) but 90s pop was the wrong vibe. And I know everyplace in Chicago has sports on the TVs all the time but I could do without. Overall, recommend!
