Easily the most popular restaurant in the city and one of the best. It's pretty much locals-only. I do NOT recommend you go during the weekend at night, the wait is over an hour.

There are two locations in the city, but Black Dog Gelato in Wicker Park is a must-try. They serve really unique gelato flavors like Caramel Goat Cheese & Vanilla, or Mexican Hot Chocolate.
