    In Chicago for convention. Looking for Italian place we haven’t been to before. What a GEM. Great atmosphere, service and good food. Noise level was good as most place in city are very loud. One small hitch with my meal was side of rissotto was over done and bland. Will definitely be back!

    Surprising find. Great for post-symphony dinner on a Sunday night. Excellent menu and service. Very sensible wine list.

    had to wait 30 minutes, all the food was cold and bad

    Hello Margo! You also wrote a review on Yelp making false statements which you have since deleted. You and your date finished all the dishes and your date even thanked the waiter leaving a 20% tip so I'm really not sure what the problem is. In your Yelp review you said the "lettuce" under the burrata was brown, I would like to inform you that the burrata is served with a mixed salad and not lettuce and mixed salad has different colors including a dark purple, this does not mean the salad is old. We wish you all the best!

    Absolutely terrible service, waiter was very dry. Waiter didn’t check back or offer refills on our drinks. The food was not good, I do not recommend this restaurant.

    Their servers are always very nice. I tried the risotto for the first time, and it was great.
