    The sauces were outstanding!!! I had the veal ravioli and my wife had the Carbonara pasta. Each were fantastic and the sauce was completely different. It was hard to decide which was better. One of the best Italian restaurants we've been to in quite a while. Very small setting as max capacity is 49 people. Service was wonderful. Will definitely return. Compliments to the chef. The only negative I could give this place is the 3% add on for use of a credit card, but this is becoming universal in Chicago so I guess it's the future.

    Our waitress was fantastic. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. It was cold outside but the ambience inside was warm and inviting. I was out with some old friends and glad we picked the Pour House to meet.

    The Calabrian shrimp appetizer was great. The whitefish oraganata, sea bass, and the HC pork chop were delicious. Roger is a terrific server. It was a very good evening.

    why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn’t available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn’t what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch…with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That’s the first and last time I come in.
