Acanto Restaurant Review

At this sister restaurant of Billy Lawless’ The Gage next door, chef Christopher Gawronski serves contemporary Italian dishes, including a selection of homemade pastas like black peppercorn rigatoni with spiced lamb ragoût and duck egg spaghetti “carbonara” with creamy pork sugo. Creamy risotto with mascarpone gets studded with seasonal ingredients throughout the year. The red-washed dining...

Take a Spin Around Acanto, Now Open Where Henri Was

Acanto, the casual Italian reconcept of Henri, looks familiar in some ways and brand new in others. The bones are similar—specifically the bar that sits to the right of the door—but the decor and feel are much different.

You read the menu before Acanto soft opened last night; now take a photo tour of the restaurant below.

Tonight's the night that Billy Lawless (The Gage, The Dawson) opens his first Italian restaurant and the former home of Henri has a new concept. Acanto, originally named 10/6, soft opens the doors in a matter of minutes on Michigan Avenue.

Chef Chris Gawronski's opening dinner menu is indicative of Lawless' desire for Acanto to be more relaxed and easier to navigate than its formal French...

The food is always delicious at Acanto. We especially love the cappelletti (so lemony -- yum!) and the beautiful salads, but everything is wonderful. We've been to Acanto enough times to try almost everything on the menu. It's also a great spot to eat before the CSO, since Symphony Hall is just a short walk away. All of the employees are welcoming and just exactly attentive enough. This is a...

❤ Day date nite. Great find for out of towners and recommend for all! Small restaurant, quiet ambiance. Had excellent service. Food was wonderful, Italian but with gentle tweak. Chicken cacciatore was not a pounded breaded heavy dish, but boneless breast baked in a brown/red sauce not smothered in cheese. Tasted fresh, healthy, delish! Lasagne was vegetaian, mushroom in a creamy sauce. Also so...

We had a wonderful semi-working lunch on a Wednesday. The dining room is quite small and it feels cozy and is reminiscent of cafés in Europe.

The Italian sister of the Gage; upscale cuisine, great wine selection, and nice cocktail list. Outdoor seating, right on Michigan avenue. Recommended appetizer: The sashimi-style tuna crudo ($19) or the arancini ($12) (delicious!). Entree: Veal Parmesan was excellent. Recommended wine to try: The Ferdi Sartori (most popular white wine in Italy?) - for sure a unique wine, not too dry, not too...

Henri is your best fine dining option in or near the loop. This restaurant is for a special occasion - put on your fancy dress, order a cocktail in a long-stemmed glass and chose from a menu of classic french-inspired dishes. The "Crown Tower of Seafood" includes oysters, mussels, ceviche, lobster, crab and squid for $130. The smoked steak tartare is awesome.

The Gage's super classy French sister. Frou frou French cocktails & frou frou French food conveniently located across from Millennium Park.

Gorgeous French dishes and an elegant wine and cocktail list. The tasting menu is a delicious extravagence.

Fun Fact

The restaurant pays homage to architect Louis Henri Sullivan, who designed the building?s jaw-dropping terra cotta façade.

Know Before You Go

Though a jacket and tie is not required, dress accordingly when dining here: super-casual duds will leave you feeling out of place.
