From the breezes blowing off the water to the natural light flooding its contemporary-chic space, this Navy Pier dining retreat is a breath of fresh air.First things first'peruse the cocktail menu, where savory and spicy drinks are a welcome alternative to too-sweet swizzles. Order a house spritz or a Negroni, then settle in to review the sprawling menu. Start with one of their fantastic pizzas with beautiful crispy bottoms, such as the unusually delicious'Morty pizza, finished with a layer of pistachio-based pesto with mozzarella, and garnished with burrata and slices of mortadella.'And while there are so many shareable plates, be sure to save room for their baked wings with a perfect char, or decadent pastas, like the cacio e pepe, both of which deliver on flavor.
