From the kitchen to the bar, everything we serve is defined by a passion for exploring unique flavor combinations. Wood is more than a name: our wood-fired oven is at the heart of it all, enhancing a dynamic menu of small-plate, American fare, made with the peak midwest farm produce each season has to offer. Though the dishes regularly change, they are defined by a few constants: meat is butchered in-house from humanely-raised animals; vegetables are drawn from local family farms; and all pastas and sausages are freshly made. Lead by our talented Executive Chef Devin Kreller, who is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, Chef Devin uses French-dominated cooking techniques combined with multicultural inspirations such as Asian and Italian to create new dishes. Located in the heart of Chicago Boystown, we're known for our brunches, and house butchered meats. Come see why our restaurant has been around for 12 years. For reservations over 10 guests, please call us at (773) 935-9663.

Bringing traditional Vera Pizza Napoletana to the West LoopPlease note we do not take reservations for our Patio outdoors, it is first come first serve. We also operate on a 90 minute dine time for the entire restaurant. Thank you for your corporationFor Our Gluten Free Diners please make reservations for gluten free dough. In our effort to serve the best and safest quality product our gluten free is available in limited supply, we strive to always have it available sometimes demand is greater and we do run out. Pizza in Napoli is soft and foldable and can be considered “wet” by American standards. For this reason, people in Napoli generally eat their pizza with a knife and fork. Blackened char spots on the pizza crust is a tell–tale sign of Pizza Napoletana that has been cooked in a blistering hot, wood-burning oven.

    I had not been to Coco Pazzo in years- it just has been on my “radar” - there are SO many good restaurants. My friend suggested it and as soon as I walked in the good memories came back. It has a warm, subtle elegance in its decor… the food was also was good as I remembered and the service was first-class. Our server happened to be fluent in French and Italian as well as English. We stayed for 3 hours and no one suggested we should hurry up or leave. I’ll be back soon.

    We were so excited to dine at RNB and it was amazing! The staff is so welcoming and the FOOD! Everything was excellent - great appetizers and pasta dishes. The BYOB is a very nice option. This will be a regular spot for us.

    Great experience. We had a few food items that I wish had a little more flavor and seasoning (roasted vegetables) but the pastas and pizza were delicious. Recommend playing better music. Doesn’t have to be Italian (although I think that would be great) but 90s pop was the wrong vibe. And I know everyplace in Chicago has sports on the TVs all the time but I could do without. Overall, recommend!
