| Ristorante Prosecco 710 North Wells Chicago, IL Kathryn Sullivan Alverà, managing partner at Prosecco (visit ristoranteprosecco.com for a raving review on not only Kathryn but the entire staff) was waiting for us at the hostess vestibule. Her warm welcome radiated the European glamorous setting of the fine dining Wells Street ristorante. We toured the home of executive chef, Mark Sparacino who has spent his life traveling the world, visiting ports of call as far flung as Rio de Janiero, Monte Carlo and Capetown. In each new locale he has looked for unique ingredients to incorporate into his dishes, each plate a mini-masterpiece filled with flavor, heart and soul. He visited our table and chatted with us briefly promising to share his crab cake recipe that we will pass on to you later. Our server detailed the menu that left us changing our mind at each item. We finally shared Bufala, buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes and roasted pepper with aged balsamic drizzle. It was predisposed by the house wine that gave us a sweet bubbly personality. Stephanie Gunn from the Seneca Hotel (visit our partner page) enjoyed the Salmone con Lenticchie e Spinaci, a grilled wild king salmon, braised lentil, baby spinach with a lemon-scented olive oil. I feasted on the Filetto Di Manzo, a filet of beef, sun-dried tomato butter, caramelized shallot port wine reduction, with horseradish mashed potato. For desert we treated ourselves with an Apple Pastry Tart with Cinommon Ice Cream and a lemon Créme Brûlée. We then relaxed with a great cup of latte, but not before the limoncello-its a hard job but someone has to do it. We want you to experience all the best that Chicago has to offer and this touch of old world is just one of the stories in the big city!
