Rose Angelis (CLOSED)

Lincoln Park locals seem to head to this adorable Italian eatery at least once a week, so there’s always a wait, especially for the garden tables. The cozy-cute surroundings inspire foodies to let the spotty menu slide, but we enjoy the mezzalune al burro, a subtle yet hearty preparation of ricotta-and-spinach-stuffed pasta in brown butter; raviolini alla Maria, salmon-filled ravioli in a creamy pesto sauce; thin, whole-wheat pizzas; and manicotti preparations that change weekly.
