Lodged in a distinct atrium-front building facing Halsted Street, Itto Sushi battles for the right to serve as the neighborhood fixer to Lincoln Parkers with a hunger for raw fish. The restaurant’s generous hours including lunch service and, following a mid-afternoon break, dinnertimes that stretch to midnight help the case. Dine at the sushi bar to catch the chefs in action or opt for a table near the front windows for lively street views.
