Have a meal along Madison Street.
Madison Street is one of the most important streets in Chicago, because it is the line that bisects the city into its north and south halves. This line runs from Millennium Park downtown into the suburb of Lombard. With the street's importance and length, it's no surprise that there a number of great dining options to be found along this drive.
Viaggio Ristorante and Lounge
Viaggio Ristorante and Lounge is a great destination for fine Italian dining before catching a Bulls or Blackhawks game, because it is just down the street from the United Center. Viaggio takes its cues from the cuisine of Southern Italy, with a menu featuring veal and chicken dishes with an emphasis on red sauces. Viaggio is open Monday through Saturday, with dinner service until 11 p.m. It also is open Sunday until 8 p.m. if there is a game at the United Center.
