Nando Milano Trattoria

My husband and I are obsessed with Nando Milano Trattoria.  It's the newest and greatest addition to Wicker Park. We felt like we were dining al fresco back in Italia. 
Dario greeted us immediately, "Buona Sera!" Nando Milano is a family run restaurant with Italian speaking host, waiter and chef.  Nando is named after the owner's dachshund.  We had a hard time deciding what to order because EVERYTHING looked delicious and fresh.  Alessandro, the chef, even came out to say Ciao and ask how our food was. The service, hospitality and ambience was A+.  Nando Milano is now my new favorite authentic Italian restaurant! 
I recommend ordering the Spolverino Super Tuscan wine!
