Ukrainian Village

This historic district is home to both old and new — century-old cathedrals share real estate with trendy cafes. As the traditionally working-class Eastern European enclave draws in younger residents, with it comes creativity in the form of forward-thinking restaurants, innovative cocktail bars and specialty boutiques. But that's not all there is — the spirit of Ukrainian Village endures through its welcoming accessibility.

They’ll offer a paper menu at Trattoria Ultimo, a little slice of rustic Florence right on Chicago Ave., but you won’t need it. The stars of the show will be presented table side courtesy of the constantly-changing chalkboard which will feature a range of appetizers (recently rosemary-flecked chicken liver paté and housemade blue crab ravioli), entrees, and fresh pastas. As in Italy, seasonality heavily influences the menu – in late-October we were treated to a simple bowl of taglioni and cherry tomatoes generously covered with freshly shaved black Burgundy truffles. There’s no bar, but bring a bottle of wine (or three) to enjoy with your meal for a small corkage fee.
