Dario Monni grew up in Venice learning to make pasta from his Nonna Tina, and spent his summers in Sardinia with family who worked as shepherds, cheesemongers, and butchers. In 2019, he and his wife Jill brought that tradition to Wicker Park with Tortello, a true Italian pastificio that has since earned three Michelin Bib Gourmands.

Optional add-on: Romano Levi distilled grappa over an open fire in Piedmont and drew every label himself, so no two bottles were alike. The distillery still runs today, but the bottles Romano made and labeled himself, before he passed in 2008, can't be replaced. Dario has the largest collection in the US, and he's opening it up for us.
