It's restaurant week in Chicago! I've been looking forward to this for a while. Being new to the city, I love all the yearly "traditions/happenings" that I can now participate in. During restaurant week many restaurants in the city offer a pre-fix menu for lunch and dinner. I look at it as a way to get to restaurants I want to go to that I would only go to for a special occasion.
Friday night Jessica, Megan and I had a lovely dinner at Prosecco. It is a beautiful, very romantic place. We sat down and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco which was so nice. The ambiance of the restaurant was a perfect place for a special date or occasion (Bryan are you reading??).
We ate off the special restaurant week menu and normally when it's pre-fix there are only a few choices for each course but they had so many choices for the main course, I think six things to pick from.
My first course was a delicious butternut squash soup topped with cream and grilled pancetta. OH MY GOSH WAS IT GOOD! I could have had that for a meal. A perfect start on such a cold night. For my main course I choose homemade wide noodle pasta with slow roasted pork and tomato sauce. It was fantastic. The pasta was so fresh and the pork tasted like butter. Dessert was a little disappointing, my tiramisu was still a little frozen but by that point I was so full. And to be honest I'm not the biggest dessert person after a great meal like that.
I give the restaurant an A-. Great food, beautiful atmosphere and I would definitely go back.
