As a disclaimer, this may not be the fairest review, as I am writing this for 3 different visits. Our first was in 2023, with the 2nd in 2024, and the most recent one in June on 2025. Thus, my scoring is reflective of all 3 visits, which is a bit tricky, as our first 2 were much better than our last. This place is awesome, and serves Chicago-style Italian food. The decor and ambience are amazing, with the restaurant being nestled in an adorable semi-outdoor patio/terrace type area. It’s littered with vibrant plants, and has a romantic, hanging garland lights vibe. The food feels like Italian-American fare, and was absolutely delicious our first 2 visits. The portion sizes are enormous (1 entree will often feed 2), and they tend to pack bold flavors. The menu offers variety, without being huge or overwhelming. Each day has a special, which often tend to be the star of the night. Jesus was our waiter during our last visit, and he was attentive and fun. I think Christian is maybe their GM, and he offers a great mix of professionalism and entertainment. These folks seem to really care about taking care of their guests! The meals we had the first 2 times were excellent, wowed us, and my wife who has Celiac’s found GF options that kept her satisfied. The food was delightful. Unfortunately, the food this last time was pretty disappointing. The bread smelled and tasted a bit stale, the salad had half-sliced pears that we had to somehow rip apart, and both our entrees tasted kinda funky. To be quite fair, Jesus asked us if everything tasted okay, but we have a bad habit of not wanting to hurt people’s feelings, and always seem to say “yes”. I have no doubt that they would have replaced our meals if we had asked, but we hate being “those people” (I guess I am “that person” in writing this review…). My wife even felt like she got a bit sick from the food, so I’m not exactly sure what was going on back there in the kitchen that night. We will definitely give this place another chance in the future, and are hopeful that our experience was just an off night for one of the chefs. We’d still very much recommend this place, and bet that our next experience will resemble our first 2 visits :) Sadly, I took no photos, so this review is text only.

Awesome service. Staff knows perfectly the menu, including gluten-free informations. GF fettucine pastas available for some pasta plates.

Food was great! We have a gluten allergy in our family and they were able to accommodate with GF pasta. Portions were generous and taste was good. Jesus was our waiter and did a wonderful job communicating the allergy friendly options!
