Wood

Since 2012, Wood restaurant has served as an upscale-casual dinner and drinks destination in the heart of Chicago’s Northalsted. The kitchen presents seasonably inspired sharable plates and a frequently rotating menu for dinner and weekend brunch, focusing on locally grown produce, house-butchered meats, and housemade charcuterie and bread from the wood-fired oven. Known for fun and quirky cocktails, Wood also features a list of affordable wines by the glass and craft and import beers. An homage to owner Franco Gianni’s father, who was a woodworker for more than 50 years, Wood features a distressed dark wood-paneled dining room with a masculine aesthetic. Wood is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner.
