Dining room at Merló La Salumería, Chicago, ILMerlo, which earned a reputation as one of the city's most authentic Italian restaurants, morphed into a salumeria---complete with cheese cave and imported meats like speck and prosciutto. The house-made pastas continue to play an important role, however, as do the homemade sauces. The elegant front room and lively bar with imported furniture is just the tip of this lovely place. Now, fresh, house-made pasta, cheeses and ingredients can be taken home, prepared and passed off as your own.
