Friendly staff, great coffee, excellent croissants baked in-house, and rustic ambiance.
Solid coffee and breakfast snacks like cheese pies!
Probably the best coffee around the West Loop.
Seasonal ingredients, a constantly morphing rustic menu and an adorable back patio make this Andersonville spot one of the best Italian joints in the city. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
This trattoria crams its friendly menu with rustic Italian standouts, like braised house-made lamb sausage. Love the pasta but desserts trail off.
It’s cute, it’s bustling, service is helpful, and the food borders between good & great. In warm weather, seek out the secluded back patio, where vegetables & herbs enhance the rustic, seasonal fare. Read more.
This place is awesome! Beautiful rustic theme :)
Wish it was closer to home. Beautiful venue with great sound. Try balcony seating if you want comfy seats and a private bar with high top tables.
Negronis on tap!
The rustic, cozy interior of P.O.S.H. is filled an eclectic assortment of unique housewares, from antique and vintage tableware and glassware to hotel silver and restaurant china and dinnerware.
Great vintage shop with cute bistro wine glasses and other plates/glasses for good prices. They also have a cool collection of vintage postcards and posters.
Hotel silver, historic Queen-emblazoned ashtrays from the U.K. and a smattering of ephemera add up to P.O.S.H.’s enduringly great Parisian-flea-market feel.

After being closed for about a year, because of a fire, Macello is back and better than before; offering up authentic rustic Italian fare.
Superb rustic Italian cuisine. Try one of the homemade pasta dishes. The brick oven pizza is also outstanding. The gelato is awesome too.
This cozy yet spacious & lofty spot is matched by delicious 'cucina di Puglia' - be sure to try the Pizza at least as an appetizer as the wood burning oven is a cornerstone of this lovely ristorante!
Best Porterhouse Steak in rustic atmosphere. Excellent wine selection
Had a perfectly cooked small filet mignon and delicious sides of creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms, and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Tiramisu and cannolis were perfect end to the meal...
The goods: textbook veal Vesuvio, a “garbage” salad fit for four, calf’s liver sauteed with onions and bacon, perfectly seared chops and garlicky shrimp DeJonghe. http://tmoutchi.us/10esgeQ Read more.
The cuisine here from Chefs Beverly Kim and Johnny Clark is imaginative and familiar. It can be both rustic and elegant; try the black sesame cake with blueberry sorbet, brown butter and lavender. Read more.
The asparagus might be the secret best dish

Burgers are cooked to a nice medium. Opt for aged cheddar, bacon and egg toppings, and be sure to add the rustic, skin-on fries. Try the Lemon Squeeze, a blend of fro-yo, strawberries and lemonade.

I LOVE EPIC BURGER. I always get the junior turkey burger w/cheddar. So good. And the smoothies are fro-yo + skim milk based. The milk and honey one's amazing, and the PB one too!
Take home a loaf of rustic orange bread for a great breakfast/brunch bread.
Arm yourself with a Rustic Classic loaf and watch out for rogue carts.
On the pricey side for some things, but the quality and atmosphere are well worth it. Their pastas are perfectly cooked, even the ever-so-simple and satisfying spaghetti chitarra al cacio e pepe.
Yum yum rustic quiche
Satiate the sweet tooth with cinnamon roll French toast; go vegan with an organic tofu scramble with veggies; or try "Fannie’s Killer Fried Egg Sandwich" loaded with eggs and bacon. Read more.
