Dining room at Coco Pazzo Cafe, Chicago, ILCoco Pazzo's casual sister sports a Modigliani-like mural, encircling the rustic dining room and bar with vaguely recognizable figures in postures of cool repose. There's also a sidewalk café that's ideal for people-watching. The menu favors the fairly predictable, such as bruschetta several ways, panini, spaghetti with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and spicy red pepper, as well as the slightly offbeat, for example, Tuscan “fries” with zucchini, red onion, herbs and Parmesan. Cold vegetable antipasti make a good start. For a main course, try salmon with escarole and fagioli al fiasco (beans “in a flask”). To finish, don't ignore the homemade chocolate-hazelnut torte, along with a topnotch espresso.
