Ramen-San Lincoln Park

Restaurant
Il Vicolo Trattoria
Il Vicolo Trattoria is one of the best italian restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Oak Park.
Vito Tufano left Naples and landed in Oak Park, which is either a surprising choice or a logical one depending on how you look at it — a tight-knit, walkable suburb just west of Chicago that actually supports the kind of neighborhood trattoria culture Italy runs on.
