Man Oh Man! I got the caramelized onion ravioli. And my taste buds sang! They are sublime, truly. Excellent fresh pasta and really creative, seasonal fillings. Small intimate place with a nice wine list. And pasta worth the hour it takes me to get there.

Really delicious dinner on 8.8.25. You can tell everything is homemade with lots of love. Our server was also fantastic (can’t remember her name but she had a Chicago skyline tattoo on her arm). She came by regularly to check in, refill waters, get more wine, and offered some extra red sauce since we were mopping it up. She even recommended a bar for drinks after dinner and the rec was awesome. The portions are really substantial- we each got a pasta and all of us had leftovers for the next day. The Caesar salad, bread and meatball starters were all out of this world too. Great wine list with funny descriptions of each. I’m so happy we found this place and I can’t wait to go back!

I tried this place for the first time and I'll start by saying that it was very difficult to find, because there's no sign on the building. I don't know what that's about, but luckily there was a nice young lady sitting on a bench near there and she confirmed where the restaurant entrance was. Our food was good, and the bread exceptional...best I've ever eaten. Our server and hostess were very nice and that reflected on their tips. My only complaint would be the noise level. It's an extremely small and narrow room and when it filled up, I could hardly hear my friend without leaning in and asking her to repeat again. I don't understand why people talk SO LOUD at restaurants. That is really annoying and with absolutely no acoustic treatments (tiles) on the ceiling and walls to absorb sound, it's like being in a loud sports bar loaded with inebriated patrons. I'm glad that we arrived early in the evening, because I couldn't get out of there fast enough when we had finished our dinner!

My wife had the meat lasagna it was huge, very good. I had lobster tortellini. Large tortellini and plenty of lobster inside. Dessert was peach cobbler cheesecake. I’m not a dessert person. But I will get this if they have it time we go. The music was a little loud and the menu has very small print. I need my glasses plus a cheater lens. It is on our list of to go places.

Nick is like the pope as he blesses every meal with care, concern and love. We were lucky enough to have a seat near the chef, like dining at the chef's table. Our son's favorite restaurant ! We appreciate ya, the team and the food

This is a phenomenal place. Best pasta I've ever had, with nutrient rich, carefully sourced ingredients. I cannot say how good this place is, I enjoyed everything about it. They were slammed and I don't expect that to change so be prepared for a longer wait but it's totally worth it.

Generous portions! I had the spaghetti and meatballs in their very rich and dense marinara. Meatballs are tender and flavorful and the spaghetti was al dente. The bread, olive oil and marinara appetizer was a great starter. Bread was fresh and the marinara was piping hot. The olive oil was lightly seasoned with black pepper and some other seasonings I could not identify.
MY only complaints were: a) the level of noise from the patrons - does everyone need to use their playground voices? b) the proximity of the tables to one another - it was a little cramped c) limited alcoholic beverage options. No mixed drinks, no beer. If you're not a wine drinker, you'll need to settle for pop or water.
Would I go back? I'm a big spaghetti and meatball fan. For that dish alone, hell yes.

One of the best places I’ve been to in awhile. I absolutely loved everything from starters to dessert.
I've never had Italian food like this guy makes! The best marinara I've ever tasted and I've tasted a lot! Everything we had was phenomenal and if you're looking for high quality Italian this is the place!

Make a reservation now! It’s a small room and the kitchen is making everything from scratch. This is not a get in and out in 40 minutes restaurant. This is an experience you should savor. I spent a few minutes just enjoying the descriptions on the wine menu ;) we took a large group into this small house and they were kind, attentive and the food was a home run for everyone kids through seniors. Can’t wait to go back!!

FANTASTIC! You don’t find restaurants like this anywhere, the flavors, the service, or the atmosphere are hard to come by. You can feel the deep tradition and personal attention to detail. This restaurant is amazing! Absolutely everything is so flavorful. Chef Nick is extraordinarily talented and so gracious, we appreciated his visit at the end our meal with daughter who lives in the area. Such a special place. These Italians will be back every time we are in town.
