My spouse and I enjoyed drinks at Vinci before dining nearby
at Alinea in August 2011. (The Steppenwolf Theatre is also nearby Vinci.) Since
1991, Vinci has been a fixture restaurant on Chicago's North Halsted Street.
Warm, rustic interiors welcome you – evoking a historic Italian villa. This
restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes in a rustic, villa-like dining
room near the Steppenwolf Theatre. This restaurant is part of the daVinci Group
(which also owns Adobo Grill and PIKK’s Tavern). Since opening Vinci on Halsted
in 1991, Paul LoDuca has developed a large following of critics and patrons
alike. Warm, rustic interiors welcome you, evoking an historic Italian villa.
Traditional Italian has never tasted – or looked – so good. In January 2000, he
expanded his culinary repertoire to include Adobo Grill (Old Town), a regional
Mexican restaurant, which has become one of the leading Mexican restaurants in
the city. Crowds thronged and daVINCI Group was born. The "FiestAdobo"
vibe caught on. Their newest concept – PIKK’s Tavern – opened June 2007 in
Valpo, IN. This classic American steakhouse serves quality food and drinks in a
casual, comfortable setting. daVINCI Group has a simple plan : combine
mouth-watering flavors, authentic and inviting interiors with stellar service
and a great location. It’s all about the customer – come in once and you’ll
understand. Vinci Restaurant's pasta wizards conjure a menu of traditional
Italian cuisine. The warm-toned dining room greets guests with rustic tiled
murals and a floor-to-ceiling wine rack as they are seated at round tables,
which encourage intimate conversation.
