My first time here and it jumped into my top 5 all time favorite Chicago restaurants. Wow, the service just goes above and beyond. It was my girlfriends birthday and they had custom menus made just for her, and 3 different employees (host, server, manager) all wished her happy birthday in the first 5 minutes we were there.. they also gave us complimentary prosecco.. great start.. grilled octopus appetizer and warm garlic knots to start: excellent… lumache alla vodka with crumbled sausage and chicken Parmesan and spaghetti all flavorful and delicious.. espresso martinis capped off our perfect dinner.. this is a tough reservation to get, we were lucky to get a 5:15pm on a friday and the place was packed.. well deserved.. will definitely be back!

The staff here is so lovely! Their tartufo pizza is my favorite.
Pair that with a nice expresso martini and chefs kiss. The best restaurant in chicago

Great experience! A friend and I were getting together for the first time in several years and he had marked it as an anniversary meeting and they printed cute little menus for it. The food was also awesome. Even my toddler ate some leftover eggplant parm panini!
10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Awesome food (pizza and spicy crab pasta) and service. 3% surcharge on every check which doesn’t explicitly state it goes to staff was the only downside

This place is wonderful top to bottom. The service is amazing, shout out to Title and Ricky for being amazing everytime. The food is incredible, the vesuvio and the arrancini are amazing, the pasta is always fantastic and the pizza is always top notch. Once your inside it just feels so inviting and warm you never want to leave. Seriously, this restaurant is a must try

Great food! Loved every-bit of the food I ate at the restaurant.
Drinks can be improved.
I got a handmade pasta which tasted amazing. Got meatballs on the side, such a great treat. The chicken sandwich was good. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and crisp.
Service time was a bit longer but overall good service.

My partner and I came here for our anniversary, and while sadly the booths were taken, we were sat in a candle-lit private room (to both our surprise) and were treated to complimentary prosecco.
Both of our dishes were incredible and our drinks were fantastic - shoutout to Levi for the incredible suggestions!
Life-long customers now for both the incredible service and food so good I had to stop in awe for every bite!

A fantastic meal from start to finish this was my second time me and my wife have been and it was just as good the second. Our server Ben was fantastic 👏 professional great attitude and customer service the chicken parm and spicy pepperoni pizza reminded me of the Italian classics I grew up on being from New Jersey an amazing meal and service both times we've been a high recommendation on my list for anyone looking for a great neighborhood spot in Lincoln Park
Ordered takeout and was underwhelmed for the price.
The pasta alla vodka was okay... a decent portion, but noticeably spicy, which wasn’t mentioned. Fine overall, but not something I’d order again at this price point.
The salad was the bigger issue. $11 for what appeared to be mostly iceberg lettuce with basic add-ins and no real preparation or value added didn’t feel acceptable.
Service was efficient, and the space itself is lovely, this may be a better dine-in experience. For takeout, though, the food didn’t justify the cost.

I’m usually not one to leave reviews, but this restaurant absolutely deserves one! During my frequent visits to the city, I've often struggled to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service. This restaurant exceeded my expectations on both fronts. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and warm. The staff—servers, hostesses, and managers—genuinely care about your dining experience, which is evident in their attentive service. My meal arrived promptly, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The entire team was incredibly helpful, ensuring that I felt welcomed and valued throughout my visit. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner or a special place to celebrate birthdays, this restaurant is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. You won't be disappointed!
Food and service always great!
