This is an upscale Italian restaurant right on the sidewalks of Chicago. It’s an easy review to write when everything was top notch. They got us right in on a Sunday afternoon. Staff was so pleasant. Appetizer came out so fast. Didn’t have to wait long for the entree. So good.

The food was amazing. The servers were helpful and friendly. It was a great value; they serve large portions. The dog-friendly patio was beautiful. They bring out delicious free bread while you wait for your food. We LOVED it!

Fresh food, fantastic service, great open dining. We loved all of our dishes: butternut squash ravioli, veggie sandwich and linguini carbonara. Chef’s kisses all around

Delicious salad and yummy Chicken BLT. Homemade chips were great, but could have used a dip, or even ketchup. Fresh buns with Olive Oil dip were amazing!

Solid selection of reasonably priced pasta and filling appetizers. An extremely fresh Pesto was a particularly standout along with the steaming dinner rolls. If dining outdoors during the summer, beware of spiders.

Nice atmosphere. Kind and polite staffs. I don’t have picture but butternut squash soup was great and carbonara wasn’t authentic style but taste was good. Clam pasta with white wine sauce wasn’t good it was too sour and I could feel sandy texture from clam:/
