J. Rocco Italian Table & Bar (CLOSED)

Joseph Frasca and Chef Steve Chiappetti serve up classic Italian dishes in this River North restaurant. Chef Chiappetti highlights seasonal ingredients to create an "honest Italian" menu, featuring dishes such as Risotto with forest mushroom and taleggio cheese and the pork sirloin with northern beans, hot sausage, arugula and honey mustard. The food and vibe aim to reinvent the "mom and pop" spirit through rustic Italian cuisine and an Italian wine list.
