Cibo Matto to Open Two Weeks Ahead of Schedule, Offer Private Dining Rooms

Cibo Matto, an Italian restaurant on the second floor of the Wit Hotel, will open on July 7, two weeks ahead of schedule. (Of opening early, chef Todd Stein told Chicago mag: "We are ready. I'm bored. I'm antsy.") The 145-seat venue houses a private dining room that seats 14 at a communal table; a semiprivate area seats 24 and can be closed off from the main dining room with sliding doors. A chef's table, situated near the semi-open kitchen, can accommodate 12. 

Chef Stein's menu will include grilled octopus with braised white beans, roasted chicken livers with creamy polenta, and burrata cheese salad with peaches and almond pesto.
