Seasonal menu, handmade pastas, Italian wine, inventive cocktails

Serving handmade pastas, seasonal vegetables, and first-class cocktails, Dario’s menu is inspired by Chef Joe Rolle’s North Woods upbringing, diverse culinary experience, and global travels.

Tucked into a quiet pocket of the North Loop, Dario delivers a dining experience that is fresh, modern, and energetic—balanced by an extensive Italian wine list curated to complement every dish.
