tel.: 312/332-7005
Location: Between Clark and Dearborn sts
Cuisine: Italian

La Cantina, the most moderately priced of the three restaurants in the Italian Village, makes the most of its basement location by creating the feel of a wine cellar. Focusing on seafood, La Cantina offers at least five fresh varieties every day. Specialties include a fish soup appetizer, macaroni with scallops and shrimp in a garlic pesto cream sauce, and seafood-filled ravioli. There's also a small selection of nonseafood items (your basic pasta favorites and some beef and veal dishes). The dinner menu offers a big-time bargain: A la carte dishes (most under $20) include a salad, and for $2 more you also get soup, dessert, and coffee.

Main courses (including soup, salad, dessert, and coffee) $12-$23; salads $9.95-$12; sandwiches $7.50-$7.95. Lunch prices slightly lower.Open: Mon-Thurs 11:30am-11pm; Fri 11:30am-midnight; Sat 5pm-midnight; closed most Sun, except a few in the summer; call to check.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.Subway/El: Red or Blue lines to Monroe.
