    Everything was great. Our waiter was friendly and responsive. We had a table by the window which was great. We had two teenagers with my girlfriend and I, and they devoured their pizzas. I was thrilled to get have my fettuccine tossed tableside in the parmesan cheese wheel. The whole Eatily experience was a perfect way to end our Chicago trip.

    The wait staff were amazing. Our server gave great descriptions and suggestions for ordering. The family style service provided a great opportunity to taste and try a very tasty variety of starters and main dishes. We had a large group of 12-6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from about 17 months to 17 years of age. Drinks and food came out as they were ready and gave everyone plenty of time to enjoy. The venue has a warm and welcoming vibe in sync with the warm and welcoming staff. Looking forward to our next visit!
