Found a Little Italy in Chicago! 🇮🇹✨

📍 La Scarola An authentic Italian gem where the decor and vibe instantly transport you to Europe. The service is warm, and the owner is super funny and sweet — he even sent us complimentary desserts! 🍮 🍤 Appetizer – Shrimp Armani Huge shrimp over creamy mashed potatoes, all coated in a delicious sauce. 🍝 Pastas: Rigatoni Chiaverini – Tube pasta with meatballs in a classic pink sauce. Pasta Sinatra (from the handwritten menu) – Seafood pasta loaded with fresh seafood. 🍲 Chilean Sea Bass – A standout dish! Tender fish over a bed of vegetables — so good my friend said they’d order two portions next time. 🍰 Desserts: Tiramisu – Perfectly balanced, not too sweet. My top pick! Chocolate Cake – Rich and sweet, but still tasty. 💰 Price: ~$40+ per person for four of us — we were stuffed! Portions here are generous. #ChicagoEats #ItalianFood #LittleItalyChicago #HiddenGem #ChicagoFoodFinds #PastaLove
