I came with 4 other friends, and we tried 7 different entrees - every single dish was incredible. The ravioli was otherwordly. Beyond words.

Fondue was to die for -- save the cheese to dip your pizza crust in.

Cavatelli, pork shank, dates, and Chelsea is the best waitress!

The ambiance is great! Such a unique trendy tapas type restaurant!

This place is good! Just not the best Italian I’ve ever had. You can’t beat the prices here though, especially for the location and ambiance. The pappardelle I ordered was just kind of bland.

Italian tapas but very filling and waitress was super friendly! They also play interesting Italian drama on tv.

Place is amazing! Everything is unique and fresh. Plates made for sharing - great atmosphere.

Amazing restaurant. Get prosecco, cheese, and cello. Ask for Nikki, she'll take care of you!

My friends raved about this place but I thought it was so so. Reliable and quick service. Get the homemade noodles.

Best pasta & service in my part of the city. :-) although management might want to inform the servers about the foursquare specials.

Consider the house made limoncello. It's soft, bright, brassy, and delicious.

Asked to be seated at the upper terrace.

Service industry discount daily - 25% off entire check in the bar area, Friday and Saturday after 10pm.

Save room for at least one scoop of the vanilla gelato. Seriously the best I've ever had.
Andrew WellsApril 19, 2012
The minestrone soup was good! Love the old pot they serve it in and the big spoon...HATE small spoons!

Get the duck prosciutto and dip it in the apricot sauce. I know it sounds weird, but I promise it's good. Also the Coppa al Banana is really good.

Try the bacon wrapped dates. You get 8 an order but you'll wish you had an endless supply.
Rohan DsouzaJune 17, 2015
Fantastic Italian with a really chilled out atmosphere

Our concierge Samantha at Sax Chicago recommends the house bianco, rosso, or rosato for one of the best wine deals in town.

Try the sangria (red or white). The rigatoni and margarita pizza are favorites too!

Italian tapas with an elegant feel, this is the place to go when you're in Chicago.

The delicious pizza + the $20 wine make this one of my favorite spots in Chicago.

Best bellinis and cheese fondue!!! It's a must have. We stop here EVERY time we're visiting!!!!
Crain's Chicago BusinessJuly 22, 2010
Get the the thin-crust pizza, which manage to be both light and rich. Crusts are crisp, with a bready flavor, and house-made sauce is a knockout. Read more

Friendly bartender who would answer any questions I had about the wines! Impressed for sure
Sara MachiniakMarch 18, 2013
Delicious real Italian food, service was a little slow but the atmosphere is charming and warm.
Jake StrawnMarch 13, 2011
Awesome service, atmosphere, and food. Ask for the tiramisu which is not on the menu. Good wine prices too. A+
Jessica RobinsonApril 9, 2017
I thought the penne alla vodka was the best thing I had ever tasted!
Alexandros PlexidasDecember 2, 2014
The pasta was average... The description seemed promising but neither was that the case with the quality of the ingredients nor with the presentation of the dish. +1 for good service.
Ninah RandolphDecember 31, 2017
Good for groups. Most items served Tapas style. Also fairly inexpensive
Jeffery Goodman JrJanuary 30, 2016
This place was decent. Had fettuccini Alfredo w/ shrimp, sausage, and chicken.
Charles WilliamsAugust 13, 2018
Half San Daniele half Margherita. Solid base with the Margherita
Derek HofferNovember 2, 2016
Pizza was delicious. Service was not so great on the Saturday evening I was there
Sarah RandagDecember 30, 2010
The wine bash is a good last-Wednesday-of-the-month event. Get there at 7 p.m. sharp and check your coat before you go upstairs.
Patrice BrazilAugust 16, 2015
A surprisingly great place - calamari was good, so was the ravioli
Sumandra MajeeMarch 27, 2017
Ambience. The bar stuff is friendly and quick.
Chris SodaApril 22, 2016
Carpaccio and grilled octopus were our favorites!
John MillsFebruary 19, 2017
Virtually everything is great here, but the cheese plates stand out.
