Wonderful historic gem within the heart of downtown Chicago with amazing food, atmosphere and service! We enjoyed the Italian Cobb, lasagne, and whitefish with extremely attentive service. It feels like you are literally stepping into a historic Italian Village with the decor of little homes, stores, paddle wheel and it all adds to the experience. This is one of my favorite spots in Chicago and the food and experience never disappoints!
