Pizzeria Uno

Uno’s has been baking deep-dish pizza since 1943 – about as long as Chicagoans have debated whose pie is best. Its version comes several inches deep, filled with cheese and toppings of your choice, truly a meal in one slice. The smallish Victorian brownstone strains under demand, sending the overflow down the street to its spin-off Pizzeria Due. Uno’s individual pizza served at lunch-time is a bargain.
Pompei Bakery

A top Little Italy lunch pick, Pompeii showcases a dozen varieties of square, by-the-slice pizzas. Hot sandwiches and stuffed pastas round out the offerings.
Pump Room

A jazz trio, opulent decor, and a forward-leaning continental menu serve diners here. Celebrities love its famed “booth 1.”
Red Apple

In the heart of Polish Avondale, Red Apple offers budget priced, all-you-can-eat buffets, including dessert and coffee. The diner draws a cross-section of immigrants, artists, students, and the just plain thrifty for authentic dishes such as pierogi , borscht, goulash, and stuffed cabbage.
Rhapsody

A perfect choice for modern American food (like the signature onion-crusted sturgeon) before or after a concert.
RL

An in-store steakhouse and power-eatery, furnished in upper crust style by the Ralph Lauren Home shop while elegantly attired hostesses sport Polo.
Robinson’s No. 1 Ribs

The perfect, low-key spot for getting messy with thick, saucy barbecue ribs. A back patio opens during warm weather.
Rosebud Cafe

Its Italian cooking isn’t daring but Rosebud’s convivial vibe is hard to resist. Long waits for tables are common.
Russian Tea Time

A spirited taste of Russia, where the vodka flows freely and the beef stroganoff is a crowd-pleaser.
Spago

California chef Wolfgang Puck spins off a Chicago Spago to much acclaim. An open kitchen showcases the cooks preparing the east-west fusion fare.
