Great dinner destination in downtown Naperville! Food was delicious, portions generous, warm staff and outstanding service!! We particularly enjoyed the Pollo Milanese. If you’re looking for good Italian in Naperville, give La Sorella di Francesca a try!!!

Donny and Griffin were beyond amazing! My wife and I came to celebrate our 4yr wedding anniversary here and they took great care of us. We had never been here before, but we already can't wait to come back. If you're looking good for a nice dinner, or somewhere to spend a special occasion stop thinking and come here!

Fantastic experience! My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary. The food was delicious, particularly the sticky toffee carrot cake, and Evan and Donny were so kind. They even gave us a couple of free drinks in honor of our anniversary. A pleasure!
