The ChopHouse & Brewery takes you back in time to the casual elegance of the 1940's. A relaxed, yet regal atmosphere with friendly, professional service and a diverse menu featuring legendary steaks, chops, seafood, and other unmistakable ChopHouse fare. Handcrafted ales, brewed on site, small batch bourbons, a fine array of single-malt scotches, and cigars all add to the ChopHouse tradition.

You'll find the comfortable, warm-wooded restaurant filled with a crowd as diverse as its menu, there for a special occasion or a casual gathering. The nostalgic feel, including the sounds of Big band 30's and 40's music coupled with a current menu with generous portions gives the ChopHouse its approachable, yet upscale contemporary style.

For authentic tastes of the Piedmont, this friendly, intimate dining room in the heart of Little Italy is the next best thing to an actual trip to the land of olive oil and garlic.

Big flavors -- in such dishes as rack of lamb in a fruity fig-and-port reduction; long-boned veal chops, brushed with woodsy essence of porcini mushrooms; and homemade pappardelle, in sweet-tart Bolognese-style tomato sauce, made from freshly ground boar's meat and seasoned with garlic, rosemary, Chianti, and black pepper -- shake up the palate the way Carlo Rizzo rattles a tambourine. And then, when avuncular proprietor Ricardo Salerno strolls by, his fingers dancing across the keys of his accordion . . . well, this may be the Midwest, and you may not be Italian, but we'll promise you one thing:

That's amore!
