il Carciofo

Located in the historic Fulton Market district of Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, il Carciofo is a Roman Italian restaurant drawing inspiration from the restaurants and markets in one of Chef Joe Flamm’s favorite cities, Rome. il Carciofo’s interior speaks to the history and tradition of age-old trattorias and ristorantes in Rome. A seasonal menu of elevated yet familiar Italian fare is featured with traditional antipasti, Roman-style pizzas, hand-rolled pastas produced daily in a dedicated pasta lab and market-driven mains that highlight the season’s bounty.
