Long-standing downtown Chicago restaurant needed

I'm looking for a recommendation for a restaurant that's been in Chicago for a long time so it has a well-known reputation for consistently good food and a quiet atmosphere. Italian is good but open to other types. It also has to be casual enough so my husband doesn't have to wear a coat and tie. We're on our way to India and will have a completely different wardrobe with us. Thanks, Serena

Look up Italian Village and Trattoria No. 10 on www.metromix.com

Are you vegetarians?

Francesca's or Mia Francesca are both fixtures, in my mind (same ownership).

I'd second the rec. for Italian Village: it's the classic Chicago downtown Italian place, esp. the upstairs part of the restaurant ("The Village") with twinkly lights on the ceiling. The food is straightforward red sauce Italian, but tasty.
