    Even though it was a busy Valentines Day, our service was excellent, this includes the busboys. We eat here often but this was the first time I ordered pork chops and I wasn’t disappointed. The two big chops were very tender and served in a flavorful sauce with red/green peppers and sliced potatoes. I’m looking forward to eating the other chop for dinner tonight. My husband ordered a pizza which are the best in Chicagoland in my opinion. The sweet sauce gets me every time.

    The chicken San Remo is out of this world-Tender chunks of chicken with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli and mushrooms mixed with bow tie pasta in a light wine sauce - enough for two or three people. We also ordered pizza with that delicious sweet sauce. Love this place!
