Food was absolutely delicious. Their pasta sauce has a hint of sweetness that was great. Service was friendly and fast. Lastly, the vibe of the place is nice. There were people having their casual work lunch, but also a family having a nice sit-down meal.

Nice restaurant. Good pricing. Good food. You see the owner or a manager who looks like an owner watching for quality and care. I recommend it.

Well this is a step up from eating at Luke's sandwich shop across the street ambience Wise It's not a hole in the wall it's more bougie and trendy. The service was much more friendly although I paid a little more and also I ordered a little more for my lunch. My main order was the meat lasagna which came with salad and drink but I didn't care for the salad I wanted a soup of the day. It was either minestrone or pasta fagioli soup. I went for the pasta fagioli soup which was tomato based light minestrone but had beans. It was actually delicious. I then moved on and ordered since I had a craving for arancini. It was good too I ordered the meat base one versus the spinached one. We separate the marinara or the tomato based sauce which tasted fresh. And it wasn't heavy. Most homemade arancini it's almost like a meal and it's heavy because I already ordered lasagna but it was delicious and light as an extra appetizer. The meat lasagna was actually very delicious but she's tasted fresh the sauces taste the fresh it's like a step up from Sbarro's lasagna from the mall. It comes with a complimentary bread. I was surprised how big the portion of tiramisu is but I guess if you paid $5.95 for tiramisu and can eat large portion . When I'm in the mood for Italian American I'll come back here instead of Lukes. four out of five stars because of how they separated just like ordering a lot of food into two trays but now I know how large their portions are so I'll be okay with one .

One of the last places to get very good italian food, try the meatball sandwich get the large size do you can take half home. It will make you smile, buy cannolis for your girl friends at work

Legit Chicago Italian sandwich salad and pasta lunch stop. This is a cleaner nicer version of Luke’s which is directly across the street. Great prices and value no nonsense freaky fast family owned outfit.

I went in here on a whim today. I’m so glad I did. I had the Avante Classico and I added fresh mozzarella to it. I walked out with a bag full of stuff. The food was so freaking amazing. I ran into this spot on accident and I’m so glad I did. That was the best sandwich I’ve had in 20 years since living back east. What a gem to find this place

Seems to be a downtown favorite. Decent crowd. Great options. I ordered the panini and mocha ice coffee. Both were good. It was my first time. I’d go back when in that downtown area.
Sandwiched (duly) in the pocket of Jackson right under the Quincy CTA, this cozy family owned stop not only has a toasty menu of ready-made pizza, cannolis, and fresh subs to boast, but a rewards program (with members card) and daily offerings to boost the lunch appeal!
Janet’s my go-to for Chicago-tier service, and a good friend to make if you work the Tower district 🌟

Great spot, reasonable prices for the area. Had a chicken salad sandwich and it was HUGE so you definitely get a lot for your money. The bread was delicious.

Grabbed some bow tie pasta, sausage wrap and a cannoli to go on my trip back home from Detroit and all of it was amazing! Came.with a salad and foccia and it slapped me right into taking a nap! Best sunset train ride dinner ever!
