Very nice Italian restaurant. I like the simplicity not the menu items, but don’t let that deter you from coming. The service is great and the food is flavorful.

This place serves no nonsense Italian fare. The highlight of our meal is the lasagna, it was cheesy and delicious. The shrimp Parmesan and chicken piccata were pretty good except that they were accompanied by very salty roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach respectively. The Italian sub and the desserts were average. Our server was attentive.

Went yesterday with my three kids and their friend in the, yay table of 4 kids lol but Dan took such good care of us! He deserves 5 stars. Our drinks were never empty, he was so kind and patient with my kids (and me). Service was prompt and our food came out in a very reasonable time frame. I’m giving 4 stars because honestly the pizza and calzone was not the best I’ve ever had, something about the flavor was off (and I’ve had tons of both). However the mozzarella sticks were to die for and we will probably come back just for those! And my kids said the spaghetti was amazing (and let me tell you, they’re spaghetti experts). So between that and the great service we will be back for sure! And my kids agree. Thanks Dan for the great experience!

Went above and beyond for our experience at the kitchen. Their shrimp scampi was really good. They Chicago deep dish was super hefty but also good! And the half portion of pepperoni, Mushroom and sin dried tomatoes yum! I would recommend this place
