The atmosphere is somewhat like being in someone's home and while this neighborhood gem will have you practically sitting with the table next to you, you won't care. A "pretty" crowd and awesome food make for a warm, comfortable place to enjoy great Italian food.
always good
I come here often for their classic Italian faire. Their specials are always great along with their regular menu... Love the full bar and the good service!
Cozy atmosphere and traditional italian.
Reasonable prices ($15-$20/entree) and a menu where "everything's good" served by seasoned staff is a great and reliable choice for a traditional italian dinner in Boystown. Many of the components of the entreees are made-from-scratch, including a few of their pastas. Caesar salad is quite authentic with anchovy on top as well as homemade croutons and dressing. Reccomended by our concierge, we received a free slice of Tiramisu (non-alcohol recipe. lightly soaked in espresso). Locally owned and managed for two generations (the daughter/current manager was at the adjacent table, and the surrealist portrait in the second dining room above the server's station is her mother), this is a great little date place or even good for a family gathering. I didn't study the wine list, but my glance revealed many italian style wines at the top for about $9+ per glass, or $30+ for a bottle. The pasta was prepared a bit soft for my taste--if you prefer al dente, I suggest you inform your server when ordering to accomodate the chef's style.
Great, book at table!
Is always busy at this place! I learned not to just plan on going but to actually book a table. The food is amazing the wine list is good. Reasonable prices, not far from the gay gay bars and straight bars
