Acanto is truly a cozy gem tucked away in downtown Chicago! ๐ŸŒŸ I decided to stop by for a late-night bite and was captivated by the extensive wine selection. Each glass of bubbly was crisp and refreshing, perfectly complementing the delicious mushroom spinach pasta I ordered. ๐Ÿ

Although the service was a bit slow, the relaxing atmosphere made it easy to unwind. I appreciated the warm lighting and trendy yet romantic vibe - ideal for a solo date with delicious food and a good book. If youโ€™re in the area, don't miss this delightful spot!

I discovered Acanto while exploring downtown Chicago, and I was thoroughly impressed! The mushroom spinach pasta was a standout - comforting and generous. The cozy atmosphere paired with perfectly chilled bubbles made for a delightful evening. A must-visit if you're in the area!
