Fantastic and much-needed escape with the family l Fantastic and much-needed escape with the family last night to @ziassocial in Norwood Park. Calamari, wood-fired pizza, 8-finger cavatelli with Italian sausage, cocktails and good ol’ chicken parmesan. Noteworthy: The generous portion of chicken parm, a menu staple that could probably feed three people, is only $14 on Tuesdays.
