Doc MaladyDecember 18, 2013Food's terrific, portions are huge, 2 could easily share many of the entrees. Service is great, but not a place for a fast meal -- plan to stay for awhile, go when you can enjoy the full experience.
Marc WiglerMarch 24, 2013Great food!!! The birthday treat was amazing - Fresh Fruit & Granola - delicious!!! Loved the seared scallop salad, linguine w/clams, & chicken Marsala
Excellent linguine with clam sauce (I have only tried the white sauce, not the red), pasta e fagioli soup, and steaks -- all around prime comfort food destination!- Fish Salad (Calamari, octopus, shrimp, whole clams, scungilli, Italian vinegar, peppers, celery, garlic, lemon vinaigrette)
ElenaMay 23, 2016Eggplant salad was good, simple and fresh. Not the best idea to get calamari and clams. I hope trying some pasta will change my impression of this place.
Ricardo HardinMarch 29, 2013Very nice upscale restaurant and the food is great many celebrities ate there really nice staff located next the richest neighborhood in chicago Gold Coast/Lincoln Park- I always get the linguine with clams here, decided to try it with red sauce this time; love it, but white sauce is still the best
AngelaNovember 20, 2014One of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Seafood salad is exceptional and authentic. Pasta dishes and steak are extraordinary as well.
ᴡ DuplatAugust 12, 2017Typical restaurant where you can initiate a debate on the usefulness of the tip in US for non residents. Fast served, fast deserved, industrial behaviour. Lack of charm.
JoAnn RuppJuly 20, 2013Very good food! We come from Plainfield to go here. It's always worth it. Just have to say Yelp sucks. Ok sorry. Anyway our service not so great. Forgotten sides, limited refills and dessert offer
One of the best caprese salads in all of Chicago. People watch all day from the outdoor terrace off the VT and if you're not feeling up for it, little known fact is you can place orders for pick up!
Lizz C.August 26, 2011Wine was pretty expensive but worth it. People from all over the world working there, so it was fun to speculate who was from where. Tomato and onion salad was BOMB!
missreccamaykJune 29, 2011Lamb chops are NOT worth $32. Ordered mine medium came out well done. So dry! Linguini clam with red spicy sauce in the other hand was amazing! Oysters were huge and meaty
Kevin WilsonDecember 24, 2015Calamari, huge tender, crunchy goodness!! Awesome and worth every dollar!
Liz SheendreamSeptember 18, 2015Amazing food with a very fun atmosphere.Great staff.We will all return.
Jamie MackAugust 18, 2013The waiter Danny has the best mullet in town. Also his special pasta is legit.- CarolMay 22, 2015HUGE portions, but the chicken Marsala is fantastic. Just your standard Italian food
- Dependable Italian menu; I always get the linguine with clams
Stuffed Mushrooms and the Eggplant stack are delicious veggie options.
Maurice MorrisJanuary 18, 2013One of Thee best Italian restaurants I've been, and I've been to a lot.
Philip PowellSeptember 23, 2010The food is alright. With me being a chef, I'm not too fond of the "vodka sauce". My friend ordered a burger with swiss and the burger came out with american. The glass of OJ was filled with water!!!
Elizabeth and Daniel are the BEST! Bartenders in the city!!!!
Steve BarrettJune 13, 2011Good people watching, especially the old fellas at the bar with their young lady "friends". Read more
Stephanie StaadtJune 16, 2013It was OK. My boyfriend brought me here. It was good speedy service but I paid for the good food by having a rough night later.
Ashley SicklesOctober 16, 2010Live music is great. Make a reservation so you don't have to wait as long!

"Rob, this is our favorite place by our old apt. Try the salumeria tasting with the eggplant salad, duck prosciutto and taleggio for sure. Calamari also basic and excellent."
