Sprawling across 45,000 sq. ft. of Northbrook, Pinstripes, an upscale Italian-American bistro, offers a midpriced menu of small plates, salads, flatbreads, pastas and entrees with a side of bocce (six indoor-outdoor courts) and bowling (18 lanes); its handsome architectural setting extends to plush leather seating in the sporting areas and a year-round outdoor patio.
