This place has great service and food. It was one of the first restaurants I visited when I came to Chicago and quickly became my go-to takeout spot. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all excellent. I’m giving it 3 stars because I am disappointed to find out they no longer serve the Pesto Fettuccine, it was literally one of the best dishes on the menu. Please bring it back!

Happy hour burger in the city for $8 !! Can’t beat that and it’s a good burger.
A bit noisy when you sit outside on State St (as expected).
Service is great, wait staff and bartender are very friendly.

Gabino was hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had in my life. So attentive and kind! Me and my friends have had him before so it was nice getting him again today, but the staff is such a huge factor in us coming back- beautiful restaurant and food, and even better staff. I recommend so very much!!!
