This summer, Cornerstone Restaurant Group opened Dimmi Dimmi Corner Italian in the former Tarantino’s space at 1112 W. Armitage Ave. in Chicago. (“Dimmi” means “tell me” in Italian.) Headed by executive chef Matt Eckfeld, the restaurant has a “fresh, feel-good take on Italian-American fare,” according to a press release. Eckfeld’s culinary background includes work at award-winning New York restaurants such as Carbone and ZZ’s Club. Dimmi Dimmi “blends Eckfeld’s modern approach with the nostalgic warmth of Italian-American comfort, creating a welcoming neighborhood spot in the heart of Lincoln Park where community and cuisine meet with ease.” The menu features homemade pastas, seasonal vegetables and “honest Italian classics crafted with care.”
