Daisies is an Italian restaurant in Chicago's Logan Square (2375 Milwaukee Ave.), with Joe Frillman as chef.[1]
Overview
MICHELIN Guide lists it as Italian cuisine and describes its housemade pastas, back-of-house bakery and farm-to-table practices; the guide cites mushroom ragu with pappardelle, pork ragu with rigatoni, and onion dip with house-made ruffles.[1] The guide describes a sun-flooded space with a comfortable bar and a private dining room; salads and sandwiches are available for takeaway at midday, while the house-made pastas are the main draw in the evening. Chef Joe Frillman explains that kitchen produce scraps are returned to the farm to feed the chickens in exchange for eggs, the remainder is composted and sold at the farmers' market stand, and the bar and pastry programs make extensive use of fermentation and preservation.
Dishes & Highlights
- Pappardelle with mushroom ragu
- Rigatoni with pork ragu (with fermented tomato)
- Onion dip with house-made ruffles — a must-order per the guide
- A dazzling selection of pastries, ice creams and sorbets from the in-house bakery
