Italian Fare & Award- Winning Wine Program Across From Millennium Park
Acanto Restaurant + Wine Bar is a favorite destination for those who appreciate approachable and authentic Italian food, an award-winning wine list featuring selections from each of Italy’s twenty regions, and an inviting, conversation-friendly dining experience. The wine program is one of the most lauded in the U.S. with a two-glass “Best of Excellence” rating by Wine Spectator. The word Acanto is the Italian translation of Acanthus, the flowery leaf featured prominently in Roman architecture. Famed architect Louis Sullivan used Acanthus in his distinctive terra cotta ornamentation found on the facade of the historically-landmarked building that houses Acanto.
