I arrived with a tiny appetite appetizers were all I got, the octopus alone enough for me to fly back to Dallas from Chicago! Looking forward to trying more of what’s on the menu. Don’t walk.

    The food and service was great. The only suggestion I have is to lower the volume on the music in the main dining room. It was difficult to hear ourselves, at times.

    While still a good dining experience, I was expecting much more. I felt it was vastly overpriced and their signature dishes (Chicken Parmesan and Pasta Vodka) left a lot to be desired. Service was extremely courteous, but excruciatingly slow. It’s good to go and check off the box, but I won’t be frequenting.
