One of my favorite things to do is enjoy dining al fresco Italian-style at Letizia’s (@LetiziasFiore, 2456 N. California Ave.). The food is outstanding and fresh-made from the finest gourmet ingredients. Since the beginning, Fabio Sorano and his mother Letizia have been dedicated to using all-natural, high-quality products—made by hand—the traditional way, the only way they know how. The result is an exquisite and unforgettable experience for the hardest to please foodie.
Be sure to try the handmade all-natural pastas, including ravioli with wild boar and gnocchi made with fresh carrots. If you’d prefer to have them on hand—to eat when and where you wish—they’re also available in frozen packs. Stop by the Logan Square Farmers Market where they sell them every Sunday.
Always Sustainable
I am especially happy to contribute to the all-natural appeal of these tasty handmade pastas with the all-natural adhesive label for the frozen bags of pasta. Each frozen bag of natural pasta from Letizia’s now uses the PURE labels made by Distant Village. The labels are natural and vegan, made with fair trade natural hemp and wildgrass paper and are also a recycle-compatible adhesive.
“Incorporating reusable and sustainable materials in our family business is as important as the natural and local ingredients we select in everything we make,” said Letizia. “Distant Village’s labels enable us to use very high quality products that fulfill our responsibility to the environment without any sacrifice to the quality of the labels.”

Seriously, is no one else bothered by the fact that an article- which is apparently about a local eatery’s dedication to sustainable practices- has more detailed information about the goddamned stickers THAT THE WRITER ALSO HAPPENS TO MAKE than it is about the actual products made by the eatery?
This has to be a fucking joke.
@Hotdogs Thanks for your feedback on a number of our articles. We encourage your feedback but have to ask you to do so in a respectful manner. We’re all neighbors here. Please review our Community Guidelines before commenting further >> https://logansquarist.com/community-guidelines/.
So just out of curiosity, does Rich Cohen not have to follow the “It’s a forum, not a billboard” rule, or is Distant Village a pre-approved advertisement?
If the latter, shouldn’t his pre-approved advertisement status be posted at the top of what is supposed to be an “article,” so next time I’ll know that I’m just reading an advertisement? Otherwise, whose local interests are actually being served here?
We’re all neighbors, but jesus christ. The content here is barely content, and it seems like so far your niche market are young white parents who either have recently moved to Logan Square or sometimes visit playgrounds here. Where are the articles about gentrification, and how the dollars being spent here are aren’t encouraged to be our own? Where are the articles about new cheaply-constructed condos pushing out single-family homes? What about features discussing the ramifications of appropriating an existing culture for the sake of capitalizing on a new trend? What about discussing the disparity in crime- as well as types of crime- along blue line passages and how they differ from the amount and types of crime occurring in the actual streets where people live?
I mean, if you’re going to have a “hyper-local” website claiming to discuss issues that concern residents and businesses, expect to get a little push back when your front page has nothing but “articles” about playgrounds, stories about your own meetups, and advertisements masquerading as local business profiles.
