Dolci Amori, a traditional Italian Pasticceria, has announced its third location which is now open in Chicago’s River West neighborhood at 494 N. Milwaukee. With two locationswhichopened earlier this year (Wicker Park - 2010 W. Piece & Lakeview - 3025 N. Clark), this is part of an expansion for Founder Ciro Longobardo.
Longobardo, who is also co-owner of Piccolo Sogno in Chicago, is inspired by the traditional "Italian Pasticceria" and "Rosticceria,” that he frequented when he lived in Italy. The former Maillard Tavern space has been transformed into Dolci Amori (meaning sweet love in Italian) with a twist, offering traditional Italian pastries, as well as an aperitivo experience featuring savory small plates and cocktails, for coffee and pastries by day and Happy Hour by night.
