At first glance, it may seem like your typical neighborhood all-day café, but there’s more than meets the eye at Café Mado from Chef/owner Nico Russell. This Prospect Heights café bustles with a coffee shop up front and a skylit atrium with a small bar and dining room. It is here where they sell house-baked bread, breakfast sandwiches, elegant small plates, and handmade pasta by day before shifting to a more refined dinner service by night. Begin with pissaladière, a warm, round loaf topped with anchovies, caramelized red onions, and olive spread or kick things off with a seasonal small plate like summer melon with lime granita and habanada before tucking into a plate of pasta, like pici with pesto Genovese.
