Manager, Mauritco (sp?) was very kind as well as the serving staff. Food was very good and reasonable noise level. Great experience.

Quiet night but wonderful meal. Waitstaff went above & beyond to make us a whole branzino off the menu.

Second time trying out this West Loop Italian restaurant. Pretty large menu in comparison to the similar options in the neighborhood. Got there late so it was not crowded, but still fairly loud due to the proximity to the train right outside. We had a tagliatelle dish, risotto, and gnocchi with gorgonzola for the entrees. All were done well, not amazing, but solid. The only disappointment was the caprese appetizer, the tomatoes were not good, although it could just be too early in the season.

We make a point to come here every year when visiting, sometimes hopefully a few times a year. Delicious food, wonderful value and amazing staff every time. A bit sad that usually we are one of a few tables in the place as we have had some of our best date nights in the space and ambiance. Wonderful vibe, this is one that you actually wish people would catch on to!

Delicious food and exceptional service. Made an amazing chicken parm for our table that wasn't on the menu.
Amelia
Pasta was perfect! Great amount of food as well. Drinks we had were also great and nice sizes. Excited to come back and try more from the menu.
Natalie

Gran atención del equipo, la pasta es muy buena, el resto de los platillos que probamos fueron buenos/ regulares.
Had a truly terrible service. Everything from service to wine to food. There were 3 of us and they squeezed us at a 2 top in a corner. When we asked for a bigger table because we were going to be eating a lot and it was barely enough room for 2 let alone 3, the guy laughed and said no problem- we will course out your food. (They did not. The entire time we were struggling not to spill and switch out and combine plates). We then got 2 samples of wine, 1 was completely spoiled. We ordered the Amish chicken Milanese along with 2 pastas. Instead of putting in the chicken, they added grilled chicken to our pesto gnocchi. We then brought it up and re ordered the Amish chicken Milanese, even pointing to it on the menu. They proceed to bring out a grilled chicken breast with spinach on the side. When we brought it up again, they said that's what we ordered. I proceeded to pull out the menu and ask where a grilled chicken breast and spinach was on the menu (it did not exist). Then they said they thought we ordered an old menu item (???). Both times when we talked to the manger on duty, he didn't even speak. He nodded and would walk away. He never came back to check on us or even tell us , yes ok we put in the new/ correct food item. We had to flag him down every time. When we got the bill , the chicken was on the bill! (Not to mention an add on of chicken to a pasta is $28!) When we told him we weren't paying for that, he rolled his eyes. I said, it took you 3x to get our food right, why would we pay for this? They finally took it off the bill, we tipped the server 20% (even though it was not deserved) We said thank you and asked what the managers name was. The server paused for literally 10 seconds and then said Manuel. We had a weird feeling he was lying so when we left, we asked the host. She said the managers name on duty was Mauricio. Completely insane. I will NEVER come back. There was not 1 thing that was good about this place.

Delicious gnocchi—very large portion! Fava beans with truffle were a nice treat. Seafood platter and linguine with clams—excellent.

It was very busy so I could see that our server was a bit overwhelmed. But all orders were taken correctly and food was served in a timely fashion and of appropriate temperature. I would consider that a compliment for our server. The table was very small for our group and more table space would have been appreciated.

Charming, local spot with excellent food and service. It has a very well chosen wine list, with many unusual and excellent Italian wines by both the glass and the bottle. Warm and friendly staff!

This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The food was excellent, calamari was probably the best I have ever had, with a light crisp outer surface covering the perfectly cooked squid. Entree's were wonderful with most of the table getting pasta that was cooked al dente and wonderfully prepared. Service was excellent, with an effort to make sure we were completely satisfied. You must give this place a try, I would certainly go back.
