Is there Chow in Chicago's Western Suburbs?
Scapa's is the closest thing in the western suburbs to La Scarola- one of my all time favorite restaurants in Chicago. I have never had a dish I did not enjoy immensely. Their salads are excellent and their fish dishes have been uniformly outstanding. As far as pasta, get the 8 finger cavatelli with bolognese, but you will not be disappointed with any other choices. Noisy, lots of families, but, strangely, like La Scarola, the kind of place that you can still enjoy as a couple because of the ambience and wonderful food. My only complaint is the same one I have with La Scarola- short wine list. At Scapa's, at least you can get a couple of decent ones by the glass which is more than I can say about La Scarola.
