Just saw this thread, then saw this coupon:

... so thought I would post it.



My favorites in Chicago were probably Mia Francesca and Spacca Napoli. But there are so darn many you just never know for sure

In your area, love Francesco's Hole in the Wall in Skokie.

In my area, Matteo's.

Trattoria Lisina - the price is just perfect for the quality of dish they serve.

Favorite, never disappoints OSTERIA in Palo Alto, CA. I think they have a San Fran Location but never been to that one.

Cunettos on the hill in St Louis used to have a steak Siciliana that was fantastic but last time I was there it has dropped off. I don't know how they do it but it is lightly breaded and than grilled (not baked or pan fried) as far as I can tell. Lay it down in a thick mushroom gravy. Hopefully next time they will be back up to par. If you go to the hill, best Italian market I think is Vivianos.

Santarpios in East Boston for pizza is a hole in the wall but outstanding.
