Acanto

DrinkThe Loop · Italian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 18 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603

Billy Lawless — who grew up in a hospitality family running pubs and a hotel in Galway, Ireland — founded Gage Hospitality Group in 2007 with The Gage, then added Acanto next door in the same Michigan Avenue building, replacing a French restaurant called Henri that had run there 2010-2014.

$$

Acanto's wine program has earned a three-star World of Fine Wine rating and Wine Spectator's Best of Excellence award — $5 wine pours at happy hour is a real discount on a genuinely serious list, not a throwaway deal.
