Steve Chiappetti, a native Chicagoan and long-time area chef, who has owned or sat at the helm of more than half a dozen area restaurants, returns to Chicago’s thriving food scene as the newly appointed executive chef at The Albert Chicago, located in Hotel EMC2, 228 E. Ontario St.
Chiappetti, whose ancestral roots are steeped in the Italian and French cultures, is presenting a menu reflective of, but not limited to, his heritage — spotlighting dishes such as: gnocchi with fresh tomato basil sauce and pesto; lasagna with spicy lobster, roasted tomato, spinach, lemon and cream reduction; and tagliatelle with braised veal, beef and Parmesan in a Chianti reduction. A daily rotation of risottos is also a menu regular.
