The sidewalk cafe also beckons in summertime. It’s a great place to get some cheap Italian food or to have a beer before or after Cubs games. Since 1968, D’Agostino’s has been a fixture on the corner of Addison and Southport, just on the outskirts of Wrigleyville. For fun, take your metal bucket that your beers came in, put it on one of these kid’s heads and watch them bump into the walls. On a recent visit following a Cubs game, several married couples were heard discussing child bearing, while their rugrats run through the bar. To supplement the Cubs spillover crowd, patrons tend to be a bit older, neighborhood family types.

The main dining area features numerous low-slung tables underneath a model train that circles above. D’agostino’s also serves a mean veal parmigiana to boot. The D’Agostino’s made their name initially with their thin crust pizza (excellent) and excellent sauce, but I have also come to love their superb pan pizza, rivaling that of my other two favorite pan pizza joints: Pizzeria Due and My ?. If you’re hungry, you can order food in the pub or you can get yourself a table with a red and white checkered tablecloth in the restaurant area.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end as has the stained glass lights around the room, lighted Old Style sign in the ceiling, the curious Harbor Cove wooden sign, video poker, darts, Pac Man, and Space Invaders.

The renovation has also brought waitress service into the area, a nice addition from its hard-to-get-a-drink past.

Seating at the bar is somewhat limited due to the large serving area where waitresses fulfill drink orders for patrons in the dining room. If you get a seat by the windows overlooking Southport, you can not only watch the game but also the pre- and post-game Cubs throng or Southport Avenue shoppers and bar hoppers.
