    Came for their Tuesday ladies night deal. Food was 10/10 and service was amazing. Emmanuel the bartender made one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had in a while. We enjoyed our girls night. Cheers! 🥂

    We used to be huge fans of Owen & Engine & can see now why this is becoming a local favorite.The place is beautifully lit and feels welcoming. Tuna tartare was very fresh as well as their specialty dish Ossobucco veal shank. Blood orange margaritas were definitely the hit of the evening. Christian & Lupe definitely made us feel part of their own family

    Fantastic food and service. A very complete, well sized menu with lots of options. Everything we had was delicious, my only complaint would be how close together the tables are. There isn’t a lot of space inside but once the food came, we forgot all about that. Very well priced too! It’s rare to leave Italian restaurants in the city feeling like you got your money’s worth but that wasn’t the case here.

    Great branzino and chicken Milanese. All the pastas are excellent. Especially tagliatelle al limone. Also love the tiramisu!

    One of Chicago’s best new Italian restaurants! The food was incredible and the service top notch. The entire staff made us feel so welcome and we look forward to returning to our new favorite neighborhood spot.

    Terrible Hostess. When we arrived we were greeted by a disagreeable hostess with a menacing attitude. She really should find another line of work that does not involve greeting or interacting with people. But she did not ruin our meal as the food and service made up for her sour disposition. We will go have dinner there again and try to ignore the vapid girl at the front.

    Loved this restaurant. The staff was super attentive and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. There were 7 of us, we each had a different entree and we all loved our food. Can’t wait to go back.

    Limon was an amazing server for us at the bar, so this review has nothing to do with him. I had a reservation for 2 and got there a couple minutes before my reservation started. The waitresses at the front proceeded to sit down other parties who had reservations after us and practically ignored us for 20 minutes, continually sitting others down and not acknowledging our presence. They then came up to us and told us we could sit at the bar and get a free drink, yet when we got the bill the drinks were not free like they promised.
