It's family friendly with crayons for the kids and a very chill vibe.

Vagabond
4828 North Lombard StreetOMG! We are so happy to have this new addition to the neighborhood! This is a wonderful Italian restaurant where they make their own fresh pasta and mozzarella! It's open for lunch and dinner and they feature several choices of delicious entrees, sandwiches and salads! They also have a nice selection of wines, beer and other beverages. I can't wait to try a few more items on their menu! I would get there early for lunch or dinner unless you don't mind waiting in line a bit..You order and pay at the counter, so we'll see how they handle the summer months because it's already growing in popularity! The food is worth it though!
