Top Chicago dishes: Zeppole at Quartino

Chicago is a wonderful place to eat. It has food from every nation, every style, and every price. For a long time, I have thought about having a Top 10 dishes list. It's quite a challenge, since there's so much food! I'm going to have a series of blog posts to share some candidates for the list. One of these days, I will complete the list and share with you all!

Today's Top 10 candidate dish is the Zeppole at Quartino. Quartino is an Italian restaurant in River North (website). It's a nice blend of family style, pizzeria, wine bar, tapas bar, and upscale River North. The Zeppole is a dessert dish - hot Italian doughnuts sprinkled with powdered sugar and dipped in honey. The dough is amazingly fresh and comes right out of the oven. And how can you go wrong with honey? It's a great way to end a meal at one of my favorite Chicago restaurants.
