Eduardo's Enoteca

Locally owned by a Chicago family, this relaxed Gold Coast neighborhood spot balances comfort with distinct touches across its kitchen and bar. Breads arrive as fresh-baked fennel focaccia, alongside menu choices like a tahini-mint kale salad, an eight-hour Bolognese ragù, and thin-crust pies topped with hot honey or cacio e pepe.

Glasses lean regional with a rotating list of small-producer wines from Piedmont and Tuscany, backed by house craft cocktails. Seating stays cozy across the close-set interior dining room, the bar counter, and a seasonal, dog-friendly sidewalk patio.
