The layout of the restaurant is really weird as big as it is. The service was definitely subpar. We didn’t order drinks and we certainly paid the price. I hate when servers do this.Vegetarian options: YesParking: Valet is the best option

The excitement of the restaurant itself whets your appetite before you even sit down and order authentic traditional Italian dishes cooked the Italian way, including pasta, lamb chops, veal, and New York style strip steak. The wine and drinks with live entertainment was incredible. On the way to O'Hare I wondered when we would meet again. But Sadly I just found out that they are now under reconstruction and will reopen in 15 months .But I am happy to be able to open a new page of memories for the future, while thinking fondly of the good old place filled with memories.
