Nestled within District 1860, a thriving community of luxury apartments, dining, and shopping in the vibrant Village of Lincolnwood, Davanti Enoteca marks Scott Harris Hospitality’s second restaurant in the area, following the success of the family-friendly Mexican Taqueria, Fat Rosie’s.

Davanti Enoteca’s menu is a tour through diverse Italian regions, offering a rotating selection of the finest Italian cuisine complemented by an extensive wine assortment. Showcasing Antipasti, Per la Tavola, Insalate, Vegetali, and Pastas. Guests can relish in distinctive tableside presentations such as creamy mascarpone polenta & ragu and whole roasted eggplant. The Focaccia di Recco and the Davanti Burger are among the crowd favorites. Additionally, Davanti Enoteca celebrates the essence of Italian pasta simplicity with offerings like the Cacio e Pepe and Ricotta Gnocchi, embodying the restaurant’s commitment to delivering authentic and flavorful dishes in a shared dining experience.

“Having witnessed the success of our recent Naperville opening and at our Davanti Enoteca locations in Western Springs, IL, and San Diego, CA, over the last decade, we are thrilled to introduce Davanti Enoteca to Lincolnwood,” said Scott Harris, Founder and CEO of Scott Harris Hospitality in a statement. “The accessibility of this location, close to Chicago, adds to Davanti’s allure, inviting more patrons to explore Lincolnwood.”

The expert team at Davanti Enoteca presents a meticulously curated wine list that spans the globe. Guests can indulge in a well-rounded selection of Italian varietals complemented by California, Washington, Oregon, South America, South Africa, Spain, France, Greece, and New Zealand wines. The wine list boasts 110 different labels with monthly highlights alongside the Coravin wine system, enabling access to exclusive small-batch wines by the glass, otherwise available only by the bottle. This diverse array aims to continually entice guests to explore new varietals and profiles.

The restaurant’s interior design includes classic Italian elements such as exposed brick, handmade ceramic tile, antiqued glass, and natural rope pay homage to Davanti’s rustic heritage. The open butcher block kitchen pass invites guests to witness the art of pasta rolling. True to Scott Harris Hospitality’s ethos, playful elements like the suspended yellow Fiat, a display of antique wine openers, and hand-pasted Italian newspaper wallcovering adorn the space.
