Description
It's hard to say if the bada-bing vibe here is an act or not, but it doesn't really matter—either way, Natalino's does the Italian-American thing pretty well. The menu has plenty of pastas, chops and meatballs, but also a few surprises: A sweet-and-bitter radicchio and prosciutto app and rich, lobster-stuffed tortellaccci al aragosta both stand out. For dessert, servers push a dessert called "broken" cannoli, an enormous pile of sweet mascarpone that's dotted with broken cannoli shells to scoop it all up. Nobody could possibly finish the thing, but you're not expected to—like everything here, it's all about keeping up appearances.

A lovely and swanky addition to this fast paced part of Chicago avenue. Good service and food. The Eggplant starter is fresh and enough to share for two. The Veal saltimboca is a standout and the pastas are not over-sauced.
