To start, we had the arrenchini, and that was by far the best thing of the night highly recommend. On the other hand, I ordered the Filet with the veal chop build. The onions were undercooked, and the oyster mushrooms were overcooked chewyer than bubble gum. Filet and mashed potatoes in the marsala glaze made the dish. My brother wanted something simple as mushroom risotto. Our server asked the kitchen, and I guess that their chef could not prepare it with the simple ingredients they have though out the menu. It's a little disappointing, but we are critics. Thank you, Jessalyn, for the top notch service.

The dedicated kitchen produces quality entrees and a rapid rate (fact they are that good and dedicated). One additional thing: if you find yourself dining alone at times this is where you need to be. You may be dining alone, but you will be surrounded by friends.

Not sure what dinner is like but the lunch portions were small and many of us left hungry. No bread, salad, soup or anything like that like usual Italian restaurants offer along with your meal. The food was good and our server, Matt was great and friendly. Maybe I would come back and try dinner but if we have an employee party again like today, I will suggest we go elsewhere.

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.

I was worried about finding a seat on New Year's Eve, but my wife and I were seated in a cozy booth big enough for two more people. The prices were affordable and the quality of the food was not compromised. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at this down-to-earth neighborhood restaurant.

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! ????????

Got a Pesto Gnocchi that was hard and tasted plain garlic and black pepper. Pizzas are not actual pizzas, more of a toast-flatbread-ish thing. Best thingis the complimentary bread.

I noticed right away, as did my wife. Like literally half the size of what I received the first time. Definitely NOT a center cut, probably a metro cut. And worse, it was medium rare to rare I ordered medium. Having had foodpoisoning before, I didnt want to risk and just didnt eat it. When I butcher my own filets, I will cook them medium rare to eventhe more rare side. It is not uncommon, when a restaurant gets a tough whole filet, to tenderize it a bit. That puts bacteriadeeper into the steak, so that is why I order steaks medium at least to start at a restaurant that I've never been to. I lovesteak out when done on high temperature cooking surfaces like a grill or broiler. It just locks in the flavor so well, and thatoutside sear is so great. SO when I received my steak and saw that they were cooking with high temps, I was pleased. Butunfortunately, they can only really cook it to just short of rare using this method. If they lower the temps, I dont know whatthe results would be, maybe the sear wouldnt be as good. I dont know what their challenge is, but as long as they are going tooffer steaks at a place that offers valet parking, I think they need to figure that out. I was also happy they served it withbearnaise sauce. The sauce seemed ok but I really didnt a chance to really determine if it were fresh or packaged. Thepotatoes that came with the meal were pretty good. They put it in a little crock with cheese melted on top. The asparagus wasHUGE, and crunchy but cooked nicely. So why did a I rate this restaurant 3 stars, when I didnt really get to eat and it kindaruined our anniversary dinner? Well there is much more to a restaurant than just the food you get.

My Chicken Milanese (which is my go to meal when offered on any menu) was not served in the traditional way which I happen toprefer. Our server was very good.
