Veni Vidi Vino

The Enoteca Roma and Letizia bakery are amazing places. They are two seperat entities, but are connected as one. The whole place feels small and intimate, but is really quite big, as I found out during the World Cup (viva Italia). The place is seperated into three parts, The wine bar, the bakery and the outdoor patio.

The Enoteca revolves mostly around, obviously, their wine, but they do offer a very well rounded variety of beers, also they have a great bruchetta menu and pizzas, Roma style.

The bakery is not exactly a bakery it is more of a coffee shop with an amazing amount of food. They serve sandwiches pizzas bruchettas and more. This place is good for lunch and dinner.

The only time I had been out on the patio was during the World Cup on Sunday, but it was really nice. It was set up so that everyone, which was about 80 people, were all facing a giant TV set up at one end of the patio. Small tables and chairs were spread out all around with giant red umbrellas blocking out the ridiculously sunny day. Some how amid the chaos we were able to get good seats and saw an amazing game.

This place is good for lunch, a date, or just hanging out, I suggest giving it a try.

Have you ever thought about writing your own book about the City of Chicago......it could be called 'Lou's guide to Chicago'
