"Strega Nona is a solid performer in the crowded Italian scene." — Zagat
Strega Nona Restaurant was opened in 1995 in the trendy Southport neighborhood. Located next to the Mercury and Music Box Theaters on Southport Ave. near Wrigley Field, Strega Nona offers an interesting slant on traditional Italian food by introducing seasonal menus. Strega Nona boasts a contemporary interior with Picasso-like wrought iron bar stools, leather covered pillars, a "lasagna noodle" floor, dark woods and an open kitchen. Strega Nona is not meant to be authentic Italian, it's meant to be fun.
Wine buyer/sommelier Patti Talbot will be visiting each table during dinner to discuss the wine and food pairings.
Chef Anthony Keenan has been in the restaurant business since he was 13 years old. He started in the kitchens of Long Island. He worked his way up through the ranks and across the country, arriving five years ago at his current, highly esteemed position as Executive Chef of Strega Nona.
Price is $59.00 per person, for members, or $69.00 for non-members.
