Price: Moderate
• Pizzeria • Lincoln Park
Booked 4 times today
Welcome to La Crosta Woodfire Pizzeria Italiana. Here we share our vision of authentic Italian traditional pizza, which dates back to the Greco-Roman period and starts with fresh, high quality ingredients. Many of them are flown in from Italy, including our tomatoes, flour and burrata cheese. Our dough is handmade daily. In fact, La Crosta in Italian means “the crust” and we believe our fluffy crust is the best in the business. In all, I’ve created a comfortable restaurant for you and your friends to spend time together and create new memories.

    Tuesday, 03/11/2025 Linda Park, West Chicago Tonight marks the culmination of our Chicago adventure, and I've made reservations on OpenTable for French cuisine at Mon Ami Gabi, a testament to exceptional dining. Mon Ami Gabi has three locations: - Bethesda, Maryland - Lincoln Park, Chicago - Las Vegas, NV (Paris Hotel & Casino) I've had the privilege of experiencing two out of the three locations. This location is nestled in Highland Park inside the luxury Belen-Stratford Building, exuding refinement. The evening commenced at the front host, where we were warmly welcomed by a friendly host. We were promptly seated by the window, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. We were greeted by a remarkably attentive waitress named Liz. The ambiance was nothing short of perfection! The music was fitting, crafting an enchanting atmosphere. All of our appetizers and entrees were a culinary masterpiece. I had the pleasure of ordering the specials: - Duck A L’Orange, expertly prepared to perfection. The duck was savory, the meat was tender, and the sauce was truly sublime! - Hanger Steaks for both of my colleagues, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Appetizers: - Melted Brie - Escargots De Bourgogne - Warmed baguettes Desserts: - Crème Brûlée Wine: - Two glasses of Red Bordeaux Whenever you have the opportunity to visit the Mon Ami Gabi establishment, seize it, and your palate will be eternally grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, a true gem that will leave you in awe.
