And lucky for you, we’ve picked out some warm, tasty meals that we know will you will love! So take your sweaters out of storage and enjoy the cooler weather with one (or all!) of these comforting foods!
1. Donetto – Bomboloni Alla Crema
Don’t let the fancy name scare you away from ordering these! These Italian yeast donuts placed on top of a vanilla pastry cream and salted caramel drizzle are to die for! They will melt in your mouth with each decadent bite. And while everything at Donetto is amazing, you absolutely cannot go there without trying these!

2. Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft – Pad Zee U
This dish should be the face of comfort food. Consisting of flat rice stick noodles, egg, broccoli, and your choice of chicken, pork, or beef, Pad Zee U will become your new favorite meal! Each bite actually feels like you’re being wrapped in a warm blanket. And if you don’t believe me, go try it for yourself!
3. South City Kitchen – She Crab Soup
Soup is often overlooked at restaurants, but do not let this one go unnoticed! The She Crab Soup from South City Kitchen is everything you need for this fall season. It’s creamy, it’s warm, and it’s crazy good! Take our word and head over to South City Kitchen!

4. Barcelona Wine Bar – Jamon & Manchego Croquetas
Have you ever heard of anything more beautiful than a fried ball of ham and manchego cheese? Nope, me neither! I know your mouth is already watering so head over to Barcelona to get a taste of these incredible croquetas.
5. Cafe Intermezzo – Croque Monsieur
This ham and swiss sandwich is COVERED in a cheesy mornay sauce. And if we’re being honest, you really can’t go wrong with covering something in cheese. We love this sandwich and know you will too! It’s an absolutely perfect meal to have on a chilly fall day.
6. H&F Burger- Cheeseburger
We are big fans of H&F Burger. The Original burger is so good on its own, you don’t need anything else! This double beef patty layered with melted cheese is definitely one of the best we’ve ever had! Everyone needs to try this cheeseburger!
7. Storico Fresco Alimentari e Ristorante – Tagliatelle alla Bolognese
There’s nothing better than a warm pasta on a cold fall day. And there’s no better pasta than Storico Fresco’s Tagliatelle alla Bolognese! All of their pasta is homemade in the restaurant, making it feel like you’re back at home with your mom’s cooking.

8. Gu’s Dumplings – Zhong Style Dumplings
Gu’s dumplings are known for being tasty, and we would have to agree with that! They could be best described as a little pocket full of sunshine and are great for indulging on a cold day. These are warm in both temperature and spice, and they are oh so good!
9. Old Brick Pit – Ribs
Opened in 1976, local favorite Old Brick Pit has been smoking meat low and slow and serving up delicious BBQ sandwiches ever since. Finger licking good and tender off the bone, Old Brick Pit’s ribs are cooked with care and a vinegar based sauce that put them above the rest. Perfect to build up a winter layer to keep ya warm this fall.

10. Marquee Club – Four Cheese Ravioli
With the weather cooling down, it’s the perfect time to catch a show indoors at the fabulous Fox Theatre. And with membership in the Marquee Club, you’ll get a true VIP experience this season and priority access to your show as well as complimentary bites and drinks! The menu rotates seasonally, but you can expect high-end items like wagyu beef and king crag leggs or more savory items like this four cheese ravioli we had during our visit. Find more info here!
