Ummo

Michelin-starred executive chef Vincenzo Vottero offers novel spins on regional Italian fare at Ummo in River North. Start with the beef tartare presented on a giant beef bone along with fluffy pockets of fried dough, then try the housemade tortelli with braised lamb belly ragu, which is rich without being too heavy. The perfectly cooked New York strip is complemented by the bite of charred radicchio and the brightness of chimichurri. Finish with a wild spin on tiramisu, featuring a blend of cold brew, amaretto and chocolate sauce poured over coffee bean-shaped mousse.
