Cool, comfortable and the food was wonderful! We will come back!

Very friendly staff and very accommodating for our two children. We all ate until we were full and went into our pockets with two more meals worth of food. Great neighborhood restaurant and good Italian food. I would recommend the Calimari as a starter who can keep up with the best that Chicago has to offer. We will come back 10 out of 10 experiences! ????????

It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter, on his own initiative, brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate. We will come back in any case.

The only thing for us that was a bit much, was the level of sound at the end of our night out, but we understand it, is the sound level was too high at 22:30 PM or 23:00. As I guess it was the disco starting. But if you want to go for that, then you will be served. It is a great ambiance, great food, and great service. I would recommend it for any one. Thanks
