Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

Eden’s ever-evolving brunch, lunch, dinner and beverage menus focus on the use of high-quality and seasonal ingredients, with an approach based on simplifying the process that goes into crafting each dish. This focus produces robust, clean flavors to compliment the flowers and herbs from our on-site greenhouse that also add beauty to each dish. Our 20’ x 28’ greenhouse allows us to grow all year, reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing on-site, and it helps the local ecosystem by attracting pollinators. Our sustainability efforts also include composting organic material left over during food preparation. Free Parking is available and easily accessible in the private lot across the street from the restaurant.

That is, our cuisine is not only designed to be elegant, but also to be flavorful and to take experience into account.Come relax and enjoy an elegant pairing of Vietnamese pho, noodles, rice dishes and more with our in-house cocktails, wines and full bar.

    Lovely lunch at Eden. The Mediterranean Chicken sandwich was a mouthful of wonderful flavor combinations. Unique and tasty. The vinaigrette on the eden salad was too vinegary for me but my dining partner likes acid salad dressings so she loves it. She had the butternut squash soup which looked devine. She said there were sautéed mushrooms, pepitas and some other hearty garnishes on it. Comes with focaccia bread that isn't mentioned on the menu but should be, unless I missed it. They were able to make my sandwich GF as they do carry GF bread, even if they don't mention that on the menu. They may have a GF menu but I neglected to ask for one and when I inquired about making the sandwich GF the waiter did not offer a GF menu.

    Our waiter, Jeff, was FANTASTIC. Definitely would ask to sit at his table, again. And the Manager, Paisley, was so kind and welcoming. Loved the entire experience.
