Things are heating up at Guild Row, the buzzy coworking space and social club, opened in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood in 2020. Joining the bustling 20,000-square-foot campus this summer is Meadowlark Hospitality’s newest culinary concept, Little Lark at 3130 N. Rockwell Street. The team behind Chicago institutions like Michelin Bib Gourmand winner Lardon, Union and The Meadowlark is at it again, this time with a playful twist on Italian classics.

Prepped in a massive wood-fired oven sourced from the homeland and topped with meats from the group’s Logan Square salumeria and cafe Lardon, neo-Neapolitan thin-crust pizzas and Roman pinsas (squares) will complement shareables like burrata and stone fruit, and handhelds like toasted focaccia sandwiches. 

The beverage program, helmed by Meadowlark beverage director and Violet Hour alum Abe Vucekovich, is not to be overlooked—especially with the spot’s 2,600-square-foot patio offering the perfect place to throw a few back.
