    The food, the drinks and the dessert were all delicious. Start ed with the Black Lotus, then the Alla Cita Chopped, Soppressata and Gelato Affugato.

    This is such a beautiful restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. We had their amazing wood fired table bread and kale caesar salad, 3 different pasta entrees and tiramisu for dessert. Each dish was delicious. Portions were generous but not overwhelmingly large. It's now one of my go-to restaurants when I visit Chicago!

    Food was very good, not in a hurry to go back. Pizza, meatballs and gnocchi were great. Eggplant lasagna, chicken parm and tagliatelle were just ok. They are known for chicken parm and there was nothing special about it. Best tiramisu!

    Pasta dishes (tagliatelle, gnocchi and rigatoni) were outstanding. Started with tuna curd (excellent) and caesar salad (very nice). Finished with chocolate hazelnut torte which was delicious.
