last night was our first time we went to this fine restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the excellent service, with the excellent meal and booze and with the honest payment. We will no doubt visit there again.

This place is my favorite. I go to a lot of restaurants but to this restaurant I go the most. The crew is very professional and the cooking they serve is so yummy. I never decline to have a nice dinner in this place. Highly recommended.

Wonderful time with friends and family. Food was so delicious and service was awesome. The birthday girl turned 100 years young and was treated like the queen that she is.
Josephine Oda
Excellent service, strong alcohol. We have stuffed artichoke, so delicious. I could have 2 of them without eating anything else. Generous portion on all dishes. Great value!

Small and intimate spot in the heart of Melrose Park. Everything was amazing. Definitely worth the drive
Walter Leistikow
Very good Italian food. Great bartender
Joe Trotti
Great food and great service. I recommend pork chop best double bake pork chop I ever had. Chef Manciini is the best. I truly recommend mancinis chop house.

Great food, great atmosphere, great place! Everyone loved their dish... Eggplant, calamari, clams and oysters for appetizers, all were outstanding! Dinners were chicken parm, pork chops, sea bass, lamb and bone in rib eye special. Every dish was so delish that we all just passed them around. No one could pick the best because they all were truly the best. Highly recommend! Will totally be back!!

Taylor Street in Melrose Park? Yep and this place is authentic! Our party of four indulged in a gastronomic extravaganza last evening. We started with the stuffed Melrose peppers, every bit as good as my husband's mom use to make. 2nd appie was Italian Butter (baked burrata cheese with spicy tomato sauce and wood fire focaccia) which had all four of us looking at each other like "no way this could be so dang tasty"! For dinner we ordered Rigatoni with mushrooms & sausage in vodka sauce (pasta done perfectly al dente), Agnello Fiorentina, 8 bone rack of lamb (insane! and quite possibly the best lamb I have ever tasted. My husband always tries the Linguine with fresh White Clams to bench mark test a new restaurant, and I must say I would go back just to have that! The fourth meal was the Bistecca Fiorentina, prime NY strip steak, cast iron skillet roasted with herbs, mushrooms, tomatoes and potatoes finished with truffle oil and red volcanic sea salt. Delisioso! Dessert was the most indulgent Tiramisu and of course a big fat Cannoli. Owner/Chef Richie was a delight as was our server, Kyle. If you like authentic Chicago Italian you owe it to yourself to check this place out. Buon Appetito!
