   The food was the most disappointing part of the night. The Calamari was thin and dry, really had no meat to it. My pasta in the “Sunday Sauce” was not fully cooked and the sauce in the ragu was super salty and the CACIO E PEPE noodle choice was strange and the sauce was bland, I didn’t bother sending it back since we just wanted to leave. In my opinion the from tables were too close to the door, maybe 6’ away and so our table and the tables next to us all kept our jackets on the he whole time because it was so cold. The drinks were great and the service from the waiter was fantastic, he was the best part of the night. Overall not worth $200, also I think it’s shady to not tell your customers in advance about a mandatory 20% service charge, I almost double tipped until I asked the host if that was meant to be for gratuity.

   This place charges a 20% service charge automatically and doesn't consider it the tip for service. Katrina told me that only 7% of it goes to the server.

   Not what I expected at all. Went for valentine’s day thinking we were going to sit in the pink area, got sat upstairs (didn’t know there was an upstairs) where it looked like they just threw some tables together. Everyone who came up after us looked equally as disappointed and many were complaining. Not worth the money at all.

   We came here for Valentine’s Day and it delivered! it was very packed, very noisy, good energy. Only gripe would be that the music is a little bit too loud, and sometimes the song didn’t really suit the vibe. The service is awesome, everybody is so nice. The food was amazing. I had the chicken Parm, it honestly was the best chicken Parm I’ve had at any restaurant. My girlfriend had the spicy gnocchi vodka pasta, and she loved it, it is very spicy though so if you have a low spice tolerance, be aware of it. The fried mozzarella is great, the calamari is good too, the cocktail sauce is a little bit subpar though. overall, it was a great night, we would definitely be coming back, and it ranks high on our list. 9.1/10 Thank you

   Favorite Italian in Chicago. Hip, amazing service, cool area, food was excellent as were the cocktails. This is a smaller place but it’s everything I look for in a spot. Chicken Parm was best I’ve ever had.

   My son and I went here before the Hawks game. We loved the decor. It felt like we were in a brand new restaurant in 1960 something. Very cool bar as well. It took at least 10mins for our waitress to show up. When she finally came, we ordered drinks and an appetizer and she said we needed to place our whole order at the same time?? At the same time we ordered our first drink?? She appeared to get the hint and said she'd put in our order of meatballs and come back The meatballs were excellent. At this point, I noticed they provide no bread. Bread service is an option for $15. Ok... My son got the Prime NY Strip. He enjoyed it, but it was served with a ton of chimmichurri. Not at all what we would expect. No sides with the Steak. $72. Lamb Raviolis were tasty, but not exceptional. When the bill came a 20% tip was automatically included?! I've never seen this in the United States. My bigger concern was the OTHER Surcharge of 3% to use a debit/credit card (apparently they could add another couple bucks to the $72 steak). I asked the manager to remove the surcharge and he explained he couldn't due to the system. But he would be able to remove the tip. So for me to not pay the unfair surcharge, I'd have to tip the waitress less. I really wanted to like this place as the 1960s vibe and the food was pretty good. But the high prices, average service and forced surcharges makes it a pass.

    One of my favorite spots for appetizers, salad and pasta. Every pasta on the menu is phenomenal. We had some great mocktails. Service is amazing.
