CHICAGO (WLS) -- Coda di Volpe, the celebrated Southern Italian restaurant in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, is serving up a new philanthropic initiative, "Pizza & Pasta with Purpose."

The next two installments of Coda di Volpe's "Pizza & Pasta with a Purpose" will feature collaborations with Leigh Omilinsky of Daisies and Chef John Manion of El Che and Brasero.

Coda di Volpe is located at 3335 N. Southport Ave. in Chicago, IL.
