Decent little Italian joint! The calamari was well fried and still tender! Very intimate seating arrangements, tables were close and only a few servers throughout the entire restaurant. The pollo Milanese was very tasty; chicken was thick and well fried. The vodka pasta was pleasantly al dente. Overall a good spot with affordable prices! Great for a business dinner.

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Pasta was pretty middle-of-the-road. The rigatoni in vodka sauce was very watery.

The food tastes great, but I was disappointed about the size of the pizza. It is such a small pizza that seems like a toddler size pizza for $17. Also, the toppings were only on half of the pizza, so honestly it feels like I was robbed, paying $17 for this. As a recommendation, please make them a little bigger and put the toppings everywhere so we can enjoy what we are paying for. Other than that, the taste was great!

Worst customer service we’ve ever experienced.
We ordered the insalata alla francesca for pick up on Christmas eve and were charged $27.
When we opened the salad to eat, we found not the salad we ordered, but just sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and pea pods…
We immediately called to figure out what happened and the hostess that answered offered no assistance whatsoever; No offer of apology or compensation for their error. Instead we were told they were too busy to deal with our issue. We were told we must have ordered this, although it’s not even on the menu.
When we asked if we could come pick up a replacement salad, they told us we would have to pay full price for it. They made no efforts to resolve the situation or apologize. we paid $27 for two tomatoes, a quarter of a cucumber, and a handful of peapods. Will not be returning.

The food was fantastic, the ambience was perfect, but it was the customer service and attentive staff that really stood out. Our waitress was Nati V, and she was phenomenal. She was really attentive during our dinner, making sure the experience exceeded our expectations. She made great dish recommendations, and made the experience even better. 10/10 experience

Food was amazing, service was not. Our waitress made a spectacle to the bar about a quick change of mind I had over a cocktail choice. It was so obvious she was mad I changed my mind and she broadcast it to the bartender while I was sitting close by. She was downright rude.

Food was delicious and well priced. Some of my calamari was chewy and I’m not sure if that has to do with the quality of the calamari or the way it was cooked. I have not noticed the chewiness at other similarly priced Italian restaurants. Service left some to be desired. Our server was friendly but not very attentive to our table. It was a Saturday night and not a lot of people in the restaurant so not sure why they struggled. Would recommend trying this place out though!

I had lovely dinners here when this restaurant first opened in 1992 through 1994, when I graduated from LFC, the local college in town. I swung through town this July with my now college age daughters and we were able to squeeze in last minute to this eternally packed restaurant. It is now November and we are still talking about how fantastic that meal was. Unfortunately, we don’t live in IL, so our visits are infrequent. I will assure you that we will return any chance we get. This restaurant is such a gem!

We walked in at 5 pm without a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant was very busy by the time we left around 6:30. Food tasted great. Not as large a variety on the menu as I would have liked. The portions were large and we were able to share a salad, which was still filling. Staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing. Wine was reasonably priced.
