Dining room at Mia Francesca, Chicago, ILThe Francesca's ever-growing family of restaurants got its start at this bustling, ear-splitting spot, where lines still snake out the door on weekends and the pace discourages lingering. The recipe for success? Generous portions of sophisticated-enough Italian food at reasonable prices. Carpaccio fills a platter here; tomato-sauced mussels are heaped in a bowl. The menu changes daily, but look for individual pizzas, risotto with wild mushrooms and ravioli with four-cheese and tomato sauces. We especially like the lemony, rosemary-kissed roasted chicken when available. There are enough decent wines by the glass or bottle. In warm weather, try to snag a table on the tiny be-muraled patio in back---for appetizers and pizza only.
