"You don't need another big bowl of pasta place in Little Italy," says Scott Harris. He's the wildly successful Chicago restaurateur who has just opened his newest eatery, Davanti Enoteca, right in the heart of the eatin' district on India (at 1655 India). It replaces Zagarella, which had been there for decades.

Harris is explaining why he changed from his original plan, to open another of his Mia Francesca restaurants, which do serve up big pasta-bowl type food up in the Windy City.

So this cool, woody, chandeliered restaurant is aiming at a higher-level clientele.
