Opening Wednesday in Little Italy is Three Aces, a collaborative effort from three restaurant vets.
They're calling the restaurant's concept "gastropunk," blending a hard-rockin' atmosphere of elevated black leather Gangster booths with black glass chandeliers. And what should be intriguing to most patrons is the wallpaper patterned with microscopic pornography.
Look for Executive Chef Matt Troost (Fianco, The Peninsula Chicago, Montagna Aspen) to use locally sourced ingredients as much as possible. We're definitely looking forward to dishes like crispy pig ear (with fried egg, parsley, rapini, horseradish), wild boar sausage (with beet and bacon hash, poached egg and stout mustard) and the farm egg pizzetta (with parmesan, scallion, ricotta, pancetta and rosemary). A number of craft beers will also be on the menu.
Here's a bit more on the resto, from Urban Daddy, who lucked up and got a sneak peek.
