RINO BURDI

TITLE: President and Chief Designer, Burdi Clothing MY NEIGHBORHOOD: “The Gold Coast. I enjoy the neighborhood feel and the people that live around me, and I can find just about everything here. It’s a walking-friendly shopping and dining destination.” FAVORITE NEW CHICAGO SPOT: “GT Prime (707 N. Wells St., 312-600-6305; gtprimerestaurant.com) It’s a light version of steak house with smaller cuts, and not as expensive as a traditional spot.” GO-TO PLACE: “Tavern on Rush (1031 N. Rush St., 312-664-9600; tavernonrush.com). It’s an institution. They make a branzino with lemon and jalapeño that would impress anyone.” HIDDEN GEM: “Riccardo Trattoria (2119 N. Clark St., 773-549-0038; riccardotrattoria.com). It’s the most authentic Italian food. Riccardo himself is cooking in the open kitchen, and his wife makes the pasta in the morning. The zucchini flowers are ridiculous, and the bone-in veal Milanese is a favorite.” AWESOME ARCHITECTURE: “I like the Art Deco style, like the Hard Rock Hotel and the Palmolive building.” EVERY VISITOR TO CHICAGO SHOULD: “Take a helicopter tour and enjoy the city from above.”
