We had a great Christmas meal. Three of us enjoyed an appetizer, the 1905 tableside salad, and entrees. Two had fish - both were delicious. The only disappointment was the special Christmas dinner pork meal, which was dry and barely lukewarm as if it had been sitting waiting for the others. The service was stellar - friendly, informative, knowledgeable, timely, but allowed us to enjoy the experience over a period of time without feeling rushed even though the place was jam packed.

My wife and I stopped by this gem for a Christmas Eve brunch. Borderline breathtaking experience! Everything from the holiday cocktails to the house made pasta was unbelievable. Alex, an absolute legend, provided unparalleled hospitality while connecting with his guests at the same time. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant in Hyde Park, you won’t regret it!
