FourSquare Tips

  • Thrillist
    Visit this new haven for "cheese, swine & wine," delivering said goods in a wine bar-meets-butcher shop space with marble countertops and wine barrels jutting out from the wall.
  • Bon Appetit Magazine
    Chosen as one of the 10 Best New Restaurants in America in our annual restaurant issue!
  • Eater
    Incredibly rustic Mediterranean small plates paired with a massive yet affordable wine list in a hopping setting and Jimmy Bannos, Jr. is on the line. Sign us up. [Eater 38 Member]
  • Time Out Chicago
    Jimmy Bannos Jr. feeds the need for both style and sustenance, dishing out salads of crispy kale and pig?s ear, dropping a spoonful of ricotta into a pool of pork-neck-bone gravy.
  • Bon Appetit Magazine
    Must Order: Milk-braised pork shoulder, porchetta panini, and pig's tail braised in balsamic. Crispy chicken-thigh kebabs do the original white meat proud.

    It's great for casual group gatherings, and just the thing to impress a foodie.
  • Metromix
    Perfect order: olive oil-poached tuna, grilled octopus, milk-braised pork shoulder, olive oil gelato.
  • Michelin Travel & Lifestyle
    Arrive super-early or expect a seriously long wait at this small plates hot spot from a powerhouse team. - Inspector

    Last evening we had dinner at the Purple Pig. It was fantastic! Very strange to have a really nice dinner on Michigan Ave. Food, service, ambiance & value all 5 stars.
