Merlo is serving some of the most authentic Italian food that you will find this side of Bologna. I mention Bologna, because the dishes here are typical of Bolognese cooking.
Bologna is a beautiful city with a culinary reputation that stands out.
Chicago has now been blessed with an Italian restaurant that serves cucina Bolognese and does it without compromising or bowing to the idea that to succeed it has to be like every other Italian restaurant.
Merlo's approach to Italian cooking is elegant and enticing, yet straightforward and simple. You will not find pasta swimming in a sea of red sauce, fried calamari, chicken Vesuvio or anything from the parmigiana family.
