WEST LOOP— Antoine Cedicci, the owner of the now-shuttered Pane Caldo, is opening Alimentari, an Italian small-plates and wine-focused restaurant at 621 W. Randolph on Monday. Look for wood burning pizzas, cured meats, pastas, meat, fish and more. Here's the full menu. [EaterWire/Thrillist]
RIVER NORTH—Originally targeting a mid-June opening, Piccolo Sogno Due has now announced they're going to open July 5. Excited to see what Todd Stein and Tony Priolo are cooking up over there. [EaterWire]
HIGHLAND PARK—In the Raw, a 100 percent all-natural and organic restaurant and juice bar, opens today at 483 Central Avenue. The restaurant is a partnership with James Beard-nominated, Food & Wine best new chef chef Matthew Kenney from Oklahoma. [LTH Forum/EaterWire]
BOYSTOWN—Frank Elliott, who sadly lost his Oak Park nightclub Velvet Rope Ultra Lounge to a fire recently, powers on with the opening of Bonsai Bar & Lounge, an Asian-focused bar and restaurant at 3503 N. Halsted this weekend. [EaterWire/Dish]
WICKER PARK—While a finite date has not yet been set, The Trenchermen look to now be opening in early July. [EaterWire]
LAKEVIEW—Milt's Kosher BBQ is looking to open at 3413 N. Broadway. Note the "kosher" in the name, so no pork of any kind on the menu. They're apparently hoping to have booze and will be pre-pay style on Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) since religious Jews can't exchange money on that day. [EveryBlock]
