I am not from Chicago nor do I claim to be. However I have had my fair share of Chicago style food. Scotti's Eatery is spot on when it comes to Chicago food that I have had through my life. My wife ordered their the Italian Grinder. I ordered the Chicago Dog and Italian beef. Everything was fantastic. The Chicago Dog was a Vienna Beef Dog prepared perfectly. A poppy seed bun stuffed with all the correct accoutrements: Chicago style relish, celery salt, two hot peppers, tomatoes, onions, and a pickle. The Italian Beef was thin sliced and delicious. The giardiniera was fantastic. My only regret was that I forgot to order it wet with a side of gravy.
The restaurant is owned by the same owner as Rosati's pizza. As a matter of fact they expanded into the next building which is where Scotti's is. They also have a mini Chicago market with deli meats, fresh pasta, and Usinger sausage. Pretty amazing. Little bit of the mid west here in AZ. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for some Chicago style comfort food. Bonus, Rosati's pizza is next door for additional variety.
