  1. Housemade pasta is the whole point here, pulled from family recipes that the team takes seriously enough to name the restaurant after the grandparents who inspired them. It's a warm, mid-range Italian dining room where the menu stays short on purpose. The Sunday sauce, built around rich braised meats over spaghetti, is the kind of dish that explains why some recipes get handed down. Soft-serve gelato, taken as an affogato, closes things out properly.

  19. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and hot sauce is the thing Art Smith is known for, and this Southern comfort restaurant at Navy Pier keeps it on the menu alongside buttermilk biscuits, deviled eggs, and fried green tomatoes. Smith cooked privately for celebrities before going public, and the cooking reads that way, crowd-pleasing but not careless. A casual, lively room where nobody is pretending they didn't come for the chicken.

  20. Rank 6901. Revel

    Contemporary American

    The Pittsburgh Steak Salad has its loyalists, and Revel is one of the places those loyalists defend. It's a contemporary American restaurant and cocktail spot next to Market Square, which makes it a natural landing pad after a day downtown or before a show. The menu runs from flatbreads to crab cakes, the wine list is long, and the cocktails are thought through. A comfortable, grown-up room that earns its after-work crowd without any particular fuss.

  21. The glass-enclosed rooftop dining room sits on top of a furniture showroom, which says a lot about Oak Brook and even more about RH's ambitions. Olive trees and a fountain give the room a garden-house feel, and the American menu runs from a burger to whole branzino, with shareable plates and composed salads filling the middle ground. It draws a dressed-up suburban crowd happy to linger over a long lunch with a view.

    Pacific Northwest

    The awards


  25. A ceiling mural of blue sky and clouds floats over white-tableclothed dining rooms spread across two floors, one block off the Magnificent Mile. This is a classic Italian-American restaurant, the kind where portions arrive larger than any reasonable person expected and the housemade pasta makes that very easy to forgive. Roasted chicken Vesuvio with red potatoes and white wine sauce is the move for the old-school contingent. Relaxed, prompt, and reliably generous.

  34. The pizza dough ferments for 48 hours before it ever sees a oven, which tells you where this Italian restaurant's priorities lie. Tucked into a shopping center in Mount Pleasant, Savi runs lunch casual, sandwiches and salads and those pizzas, then shifts gears at dinner into pastas, steaks, and seafood. The wine list is the other serious thing here, and happy hour gives you a reasonable excuse to find out.

  39. Rank 6901. Seed Kitchen & Bar

    Contemporary American

    The covered patio next to the bar is where Marietta regulars tend to settle in for the long haul. This neighborhood American restaurant runs a seasonal menu built around local and organic sourcing, which in practice means dishes like miso maple-glazed scallops and lavender honey duck breast sharing space with a chicken schnitzel that apparently nobody can leave without ordering. Servers know the menu well enough to actually help. A comfortable, unhurried room without any pretense about it.

  56. Rank 6901. Steelbach

    Southern

    The dining room occupies what was once the Tampa Electrical Company's main offices, and the bare industrial bones are still very much the point. It's a Southern steakhouse where the grill runs on mesquite and oak, and the beef comes from a dedicated partnership with a local rancher, grass-fed and grain-finished for the house. The composed plates are solid, but most tables are here for the steaks, and the provenance makes them easy to argue for.

    The awards


  89. Warm wood, trailing greenery, and eclectic art give this California casual restaurant on Coronado's main drag the feel of a neighborhood spot that has figured out exactly what it wants to be. The menu leans heavily vegetarian without making a point of it, and the staff steers you toward good choices rather than just reciting them. It holds a AAA Three Diamond rating, which is a lot for a place where you can order an artichoke dip and feel right at home.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
