Pelago

Living in Chicago's Raffaello Hotel is Pelago Ristorante. Chef Mauro Mafrici is on key and unlocks many doors to a fine Italian cuisine experience with a multifold of Italians wines. It is simple and classic done well.  The mixture of whites and blues are accented by dim lighting in a dining-room composed of many nooks.  Upon entrance is a five seat bar equipped with only Italian wines, one bartender and zero televisions.  A man can often be seen hovering the bar and hostess stand between his trips to the kitchen. Always a perspired brow and a smile, it could be no one else other than Mauro.
