    Way too overpriced for what you get. Great pizza for a good price but starters were not good and very expensive. Bruschetta with figs and ricotta is priced at $28 which is ridiculous at its own. We asked for prosciutto as an add on and they charged an additional $11 bucks for three slices of prosciutto. Not worth it. Tuna tartare was dry and seems to have been sliced, prepped and cooled a day in advanced. Also wine list is very much lacking, $24 for a simple and plain chianti. Much better Italian places with better food and value for money in Chicago. Only people with bad taste like this place
