There are few meals as comforting as a plate of pasta. It’s an extremely versatile dish, a date night classic (thanks Lady and the Tramp) that can also be enjoyed on the couch. It can be topped with summer vegetables and just a little olive oil for a light summer meal or a thick ragu for a winter warm-up. Chicago’s best pasta spots are just as varied, ranging from counter-service spots channeling traditional Italian pastificos to sceney restaurants offering dramatic presentations and spectacular views. Whether carb-loading before a marathon or looking for an affordable family meal, these are the best places for pasta in Chicago.
