A new Italian spot, offering pizza and more, has opened up shop in the neighborhood. The fresh addition to River North, called Bar Cargo, is located at 605 N Wells St.
This new pizzeria—the latest addition from Chicago restauranteur Anthony Stefani and his Stefani Group of restaurants—features Roman-style pies made by award-winning pizzaiolo Massimo “Max” Moresi.
The menu features an array of pies to choose from, in either half or full slabs. Expect to see options like a margherita with fresh mozzarella and basil; pepperoni; ortolana with grilled veggies; and Napoletana with anchovies, capers and basil.
There are sandwiches, like a tenderloin slider and a burger, on offer as well.
With a five-star rating out of two reviews on Yelp so far, the newcomer is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Polinochka C., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on November 3rd, said: "Such a great place! Delicious pizza, nice service, and tasty drinks! Would definitely come here again!"
Yelper Naywri W. added: “This is another one by the Stefani Group. I started out with the Cargo wings, then the chop chop salad and last, the Cargo grilled cheese...The service and staff was spectacular. I'll be back for the pizza!"
Interested? Stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood. Bar Cargo is open Monday–Thursday from 11am–10pm, Friday from 11am–2am, Saturday from 11am–3am, and Sunday from 11am–9pm.
