Led by Executive Chef, Luca Corazzina, the newly renovated 312 Chicago offers Contemporary and Classic Italian fare in the heart of Chicago's Loop. 312 Chicago, an easy walk from the downtown theater district and adjacent to the Hotel Allegro, provides both locals and out-of-town visitors with a taste of truly authentic Italian cooking. The menu changes seasonally and features the finest meats, produce, and dairy from local farmers. Enjoy a glass of Barolo from the winekeeper behind the backlit alabaster bar, or a hand-crafted cocktail made with the freshest ingredients. With spectacular views of City Hall, 312 Chicago's Tasting Room is one of Chicago's most desired venues for special events and meetings.
