📍 1148 Waukegan Rd, Glenview, IL 60025

Ovvio Italian Taverna blends timeless Italian technique with a modern, seasonal-ingredient approach rather than either a red-sauce throwback or an overly experimental reinvention.

The Mezze Lumache alla Vodka -- house-made pasta with Italian sausage, Calabrian chilies and stracciatella -- is the dish regulars order, in a Glenview Italian taverna that also runs a dedicated weekend brunch.

The Mezze Lumache alla Vodka -- house-made pasta with Italian sausage, basil, Calabrian chilies and stracciatella -- is the dish that gets singled out, alongside sausage arancini, a Brussels sprouts salad, and a 12-layer Nonna's Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. A dedicated weekend brunch service (9 AM to 2 PM both days) gives it a daytime identity beyond the standard dinner-only Italian-restaurant format.

For Glenview's Waukegan Road corridor -- already home to several of this database's other Italian and ethnic options -- Ovvio adds a genuinely contemporary, chef-driven alternative.
