    Lots of other options nearby with much better food. Very unimpressed and disappointed- especially for the high cost. Service was good, so that’s the reason for 2 stars instead of 1.

    Wow! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. The presentation was wonderful and the taste certainly was, "As good as it looks." The service was impeccable! In fact, it's probably the best service I've had since the Pandemic! Kudos to the staff and chef. I will be back the next time I'm in the city!

    Excellent authentic Italian food. Also, great wine selection. Service very good and friendly. The only negative was the 'nickel and diming' mentioned in other reviews. The ' nickel' was $5 for the small glasses of ice and tap water.

    A quiet Tuesday and rainy night was topped by a stop into this wonderful restaurant. Recommended by a local Chicagoan, the food and wine was top notch.

    It would not be a complete Chicago visit if we didn’t dine here. Wonderful dining experience and top notch service as always. I recommended this restaurant to a family member for her visit with friends and they also shared the same sentiment.
