Life After All at A'Cappella Bistro

A couple of weeks ago we had a post about the mysterious A'Cappella Bistro on the Southeast corner of Michigan and 13th street. Every since we can remember, this place looks like it could open any day, but for whatever reason sits dormant.

Anyway, late last week a reader tipped us that there were new signs up in the window at the restaurant. As a result, we recently strolled by and sure enough there are three new signs announcing that the restaurant will finally be opening soon. It even directs you to go to their website, www.acappellabistro.com.

Although the website is a work in progress, you will get a sense of what they're trying to do. As of now, it looks like it's going to be a BYOB place with traditionally and supposedly reasonable prices:

Yes, believe it or not, we're going to open...just after we take care of a few minor details. Then the South Loop will be able to find comfort in reasonably priced delicious home-style meals.

A'Cappella is located at 1301 S. Michigan Avenue, snuggled between the condo towers of the South Loop and right next door to Chicago's infamous Panozzo's Italian Deli.

We will take pride in offering good simple food with a familiar taste. Our dinner menu will provide you with basic yet flavorful entree selections of either Beef, Chicken, Pork or Fish and then you will choose the sides that you like best. This allows you to create an uncountable number of classic meals to your own liking.

So there you have it. Progress at A'Cappella. Although we're still a tad skeptical, we're excited that this place might open soon. Stay tuned.
