Project Soiree: Tasty Tuesday: Acanto

Acanto is one of the newer additions to the Magnificent Mile and a dining destination you should add to your list. Located just steps from Millennium Park, Acanto (the Italian translation of Acanthus - the flowery leaf used in Roman architecture) is a perfect spot for those who love Italian food in a cozy atmosphere.

We started our night with a glass of Prosecco (cheers) and the marinated olives with pecorino cheese. The selection of olives and the pairing of pecorino cheese was the perfect light bite before our meals.

I enjoyed a light meal with the beet salad that included pickled apples, candied hazelnuts and orange goat cheese. This salad was on point for Fall with the crisp apples and delicious hazelnuts. Acanto was the perfect spot to enjoy dinner before a show at the Bank of America Theatre.
