The 312

The concept of the restaurant is Chicago as a cultural (and telephone) code, with the signature dishes being an Italian-American version of deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs.

The restaurant's ideology is built around different eras of Chicago, with deep-dish pizza and American hot dogs as the main products. The name "312" refers to the telephone area code of Chicago. The creators of the project aim to recreate the atmosphere of a vibrant and gritty metropolis. In the past, Neapolitan immigrants came to the United States and contributed to the city's gastronomic culture. Chicago embraced Italian traditions, but later developed its own Italian-American version of pizza – deep-dish. It looks more like a large pie with a crispy crust, filled with creamy mozzarella and tomato sauce. This dish will be the flagship of The 312.

Hot dogs in the United States have become a cultural phenomenon, evolving from street food to a delicacy in restaurants.

He trained in Italy, learning the art of making Neapolitan pizza, and for the The 312 project, he adapted a deep-dish recipe from 1947, which was brought to the project creators directly from Chicago. The bar menu at The 312 is another gateway to American culture. It is visually designed as a guidebook to the central part of the metropolis, showcasing how the entire world is reflected in the cocktails that are favorites among local residents.
