Probably my favorite place for pasta in Wicker Park. Yum! I recommend the Papardelle with Bolognese sauce and the Rotini St. Lucia (crumbled Italian sausage and mushroom in a tomato cream sauce).

To quote from its website, Big Star is "a bourbon and beer-focused, taco-slinging, late-night honky-tonk in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood." Yummy but loud indoors, FYI.

Not sure if this place is supposed to be Greek or Middle Eastern fusion, but the food is delish and the decor elegantly exotic. A bit pricey but not too outrageous.
