PICCOLO SOGNO’S PATIO
Some people keep an eye on the weather to plan their wardrobe—we do it to plan our meals. As soon as the temperature inches up above 60, you’ll find us fork-deep in a plate of pasta in the lush retreat that is Piccolo Sogno’s patio. Not that chef Tony Priolo’s thin-crust pizzas, creamy gelato and silky slices of prosciutto aren’t tasty in winter, too, it’s just that when the breeze blows through the overhead trees just right and the twinkling white lights and flickering candles cast an amber glow, that food goes from good to transcendent. 464 N Halsted St, 312-421-0077.—Heather Shouse

Cookwolf.blogspot.com is a nifty site, even for those of us who can't boil water. If you loved Emily's work in the Trib -- and who didn't? -- you'll eat up this blog with a spoon. I'd read it even if I didn't happen to know Emily. The writing sparkles, and the pictures pop. Who knew raw vegetables could look so sexy?
