Short Orders
Best on the Block
Cafe
Zarletti (1021 N. Milwaukee St.) may be the best restaurant on the
Milwaukee Street strip, that two-block stretch of renovated 19th- and
20th-century buildings. The decor is spare and contemporary, the food
lighthearted Italian. If osso buco is on the dinner menu, order it:
It’s simply the best. Lunch is the time for panini, sandwiches grilled
in a press. It’s difficult to find authentic panini, but this is the
right place to get one: They use the proper bread and a thin layer of
ingredients.
There are seven options to choose from. My
favorite is the Parma, made with prosciutto, arugula and fresh
mozzarella, but they are all tasty and fairly priced ($6.95- 8.95).
It’s good to know that Zarletti still has what it takes.
