Specialties at South Loop Italian-Med Ristorante al Teatro include fresh pastas, thin-crust pizza, light lunch options, house-baked pastries and two dozen housemade gelati flavors – it even roasts its own java; its grand setting in Pilsen's Thalia Hall includes classic columns, murals and vintage photos, plus a granite bar with a matching pizza counter and a basement 'wine cellar' with a water wall.
