Excellent spaghetti, lasagna & salmon entrees. My granddaughters devoured their spaghetti and loved the Kiddie Cocktails. The server…one of the greatest.

One of finest of Highwood and Highland Park restaurants. Traditional italian cooking and atmosphere. The staff was clearly focused on providing a welcoming and pleasant dining experience.
