- BBethChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOne of my favorite restaurants! Food is excellent- especially the Pollo Milanese and the salad Francesca. Very attentive service - maybe a bit too much as several people wanted to clear plates when we were still slowly eating from them.More infoMio ModoPrice: Moderate• Italian• St. Charles•4.7

- SSherryChicago / Illinois •18 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 28, 2024Really nice ambiance, if a party of 1 or 2 request a sofa seat. It's in a separate room and more quiet. The service was excellent, everything came incredibly fast. We shared the pepperoni flatbread, but the charcuterie board looked amazing. The gnocchi in vodka sauce was good, as were the mini cannolis. We went before a concert, but would go just for a meal, drinks and appetizers, or dessert. There is a cover charge if there is entertainment, but not if you go earlier.More infoClub Arcada 1920s SpeakeasyPrice: Expensive• Italian• St. Charles•4.7
