Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Portage Park

My sister and I decided to have our New Year sisters dinner here. We enjoyed the ambience and great music playing. We split our dishes which allowed us to get a good amount of each food item. For starters we ordered the meatballs and frittura mista. Both were great. For our main dishes we ordered the spicy gnocchi and Nero Rosso. The spicy gnocchi had a great flavor, just kinda came out not hot, temperature wise. The same for the nero rosso. We could have easily asked for it to be warmer but we were hungry (preggo mom here) so we just dug in. The one thing we wished was that the lobster tail and claw could have a little more flavor to it. Without the pasta sauce, they didn’t really have any flavor. I’d like to check this spot out during happy hour. I think it’s worth trying again.

Such a wonderful dinner. We ordered so much food and tried something from every part of the menu. Our waiter was involved in making sure we had the appropriate amount of food with each round of ordering. We had three bites left at the end of the meal indicating we ordered just right!

Food is absolutely amazing, we have gone to a lot of similar Mexican/Latin fusion restaurants before and this one is by far the best. We had the traditional guacamole, tropical ceviche to start - both fantastic. We then had tacos, I got the pastor and my husband got the carnitas - we both agreed that the pastor was better but the carnitas was not bad, next time we would both get the pastor because they were out of this world. Both got a side of esquites, very good! Ended with churro bites and were very tasty! Would absolutely recommend going here and feel like the price definitely matches the quality of food, if not a steal! Service was great too!

Be prepared for an incredible dining experience. The service is professional and among the best you will experience.It is not low cost, but you would not expect it to be. If you go here for any special occasion, you will not be disappointed.

I loved my experience tonight! I’ve been here back to back weekends and throughly enjoyed my time.
