Aptly named considering its Cal-Ital culinary concept (Tuscany meets Northern California), this handsome and somewhat hidden spot in the Wyndham Chicago hotel draws a well-heeled Gold Coast business and shopping crowd. Innovative seasonal fare emphasizes organic produce and meats. The noteworthy cheese cart and Italian- American wine list are additional highlights.
