Find authentic pasta dishes at Francesca’s North.
Taking a culinary cue from Chicago’s ever popular Restaurant Week that gives diners a chance to try new restaurants through promotional prices and dine-in specials, the North Shore kicks off its own Restaurant Month this weekend. Running all of February, more than 50 restaurants across Wilmette, Winnetka, Evanston, Glenview, Northbrook, Skokie and Wheeling will be participating with deals ranging from free desserts to discounts off total bills and, new this year, all-inclusive prix fixe deals. Just simply print this certificate and give it to the server when you go.
