5 “hidden” dining gems to try

(according to Citysearch Chicago)

I’ve been to Gulliver’s and it is one of the few good thick crust pizzas in Chicago.

Gulliver's Pizzeria & Restaurant
2727 W Howard St, Chicago, IL
Top-notch deep dish in a charming, old-school pizzeria setting.

Half Shell Inc
676 W Diversey, Chicago, IL
This Diversey dive may not look like much, but it serves some of the best--and cheapest--crab legs in town.

John's Place
1202 W Webster Ave, Chicago, IL
Mellow, yellow neighborhood place that packs in Lincoln Parkers for an eclectic menu of satisfying comfort food.

Savoy Truffle
2728 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL
Wendy Gilbert serves up delectable meals without a menu at this quirky BYOB gem in Logan Square.

The Stained Glass
1735 Benson Ave, Evanston, IL
Warm, contemporary Evanston wine bar scores with a sophisticated menu and upscale ambience.

That description hardly does justice to Gulliver's decor. It is possibly the strangest place (in a good way) I have ever eaten. The ceiling is covered with chandeliers. The walls, with various knick-knacks. The outdoor seating area has a number of fireplace fronts, sculptures, etc. I've been told that the owner is an eccentric who frequents estate sales. Buys tons of stuff and puts it up in the restaurant. It is truly one-of-a-kind. The menu is enormous and good.
