Try Torchio Pasta Bar on Wells! (Full disclosure: itโ€™s my brotherโ€™s restaurant ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ) Summer in Chicago is gorgeous, Lake Michigan is ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’™

Just wanted to let you know that my husband and I went on Friday night and it was wonderful! Such a cute space and some of the best cacio e pepe I've had outside of Italy. :)

Thatโ€™s so great to hear, thanks for letting me know, and Iโ€™ll tell Bill, my brother. He was there working Friday night, I think he was helping bartend. So glad you enjoyed!

Tipping can definitely get complicated and frustrating. And frankly, in America it's now out of control.

Regarding San Sebastian...it's a place that has been on my radar for some time because I've read about the many remarkable restaurants. So generally, how difficult is it to get into these restaurants? Is there a nice mix of price ranges? We don't typically dine at 3-star restaurants every night on vacation, but like to have a variety of super casual to fancy. Finally, are there other culture things to do in this area? Last time I did my research, I found that the Spain train schedule wasn't ideal for connections to Bilbao or into Bordeaux.
