Antico Posto

Italian Cafe & Wine Bar

Its name means “The Old Spot,” and like a fine old leather armchair, it feels familiar, soothing, the perfect place to relax. The food, too, seems familiar and friendly, but it’s freshly conceived from topnotch ingredients. Roman-style hand-pulled pizzas come in both white and red varieties with inventive or traditional toppings...airy gnocchi delicati (made with fluffy ricotta cheese) are a house specialty...and the tender pasta is made fresh, in house, every day.

More than 60 wines — with choices by the glass, half glass, half bottle, and bottle — are themselves worth a visit, especially during special wine events, which occur every week.

Snuggled in a corner of Oakbrook Center (with free indoor parking a few steps away), this old spot is the perfect hideaway to escape the stress of your busy world.
