The best Italian food you've ever had! Absolutely delicious homemade meals with filling portions at a really fair price. Their calzones are the best I've ever had. I've brought friends and family here countless times and they all love it. So glad this place exists.

This place has some of THE MOST DELICIOUS in house made Alfredo I have ever had. The fettuccine alfredo is to die for. The rosè sauce is homemade as well and was soooo yummy. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic. The only thing is how small the seating area is. The place is teeny tiny but what it lacks in room, it makes up for more than a million miles in deliciousness!!! We will be coming back every time we are in the area!!! Pricing was perfect and portion size is very generous. This place is amazing!!!

The food is DELICIOUS! The staff is so friendly and don’t mind answering questions. The ONLY reason gave 4 stars for atmosphere is b/c it is small but very cute. I only come for work visits but will be back every visit and will be bringing anyone who’s traveling with me.

I remember asking my parents-- no BEGGING my parents to take me here for my birthday to celebrate my 14th or 15 birthday and actually Dave's used to be located in downtown Evanston on a completely different street and I recall the restaurant was huge with a set of stairs you took to a dimly lit downstairs section.
Now of course the restaurant is super tiny and cozy with a lot less seating but the portions and quality of food haven't changed nor the super friendly service you receive.
Last night 🌙 I had a craving for a traditional spaghetti 🍝 marinara in meat 🍖 sauce and I added a meatball in for good measure. They brought me a large portion of crusty bread 🍞 with butter and my large bowl of spaghetti came out quickly and was extremely delicious like something your mother might make from scratch if she happened to be a good chef. I mean literally you get that type of home cooked meal vibe here like a close family member cooked with great love and care.
For dessert 🍨 don't miss the chocolate mousse. It's only priced at $4 not $9 or higher like other places that break your piggie bank.
If you are craving a hot plate of pasta or a huge salad 🥗 that serves two the food here won't disappoint you!

Cute, cozy spot, really friendly service. But I think my expectations were too high. The marinara sauce is ok, but very acidic. The mushrooms were barely cooked and should have been sauteed with some type of herbs or spices but weren't. Salad and dressing were excellent. The tiramisu was not tiramisu. Completely inauthentic... It's a huge hunk of cake. No chocolate at all, not made with ladyfingers, tons of gloppy frosting. They really should say it's cake. I wouldn't have; ordered it. Overall, I am glad we tried it but I am not sure we'll be back. Prices are good and people are very nice. Be advised that there is a very cold draft if you sit by the window.

Continuously serving quality food at more than reasonable prices. We've been fans since 2009 and were never disappointed with any dishes!
