I have been here several times with friends and have never been disappointed! Their paninis are delicious! We most recently ordered for a party and the meat lasagna and cheese tortellini got rave reviews! And don’t skip the desserts! Their cannoli is some of the best in the Chicago area!!

Cute little cafe and bake shop. The owner is super sweet you can tell that she cares about each person. I watched her carry out a mom’s food so she could take her baby meanwhile it was the middle of dinner rush. It’s the small touches that remind us that there is still a little bit of good in people.

I’m Italian and pretty picky about eating Italian food out or ordering Italian carry-out… but this place is SO good! I would highly recommend several of their wood fire pizzas, several of their paninis / grinders, their gnocchi with vodka sauce and their top 3 salads. And don’t even get me started on how delicious their large range of homemade cookies and desserts are! My husband and I order from here almost every week.
