    Only ones at restaurant located on grounds of Glenview golf course. Food better than ambiance but perhaps if more people there would not have noticed . Prices like 4 star Italian restaurant which I thought excessive for facility. Service provided was by two sweet first timers which allowed for some nice chatter . Food good but expensive and would probably not go again for dinner . It’s more of a lunch setting or drinks before going elsewhere for dinner

    Waited a long time for someone to even take a drink order. The waiter never told us about the specials. Food was delicious, however the carbonara came undercooked (not al dente…it was still crunchy) so we sent it back. When it finally came, everyone else was done with their entree. It should have been taken off of the bill, but it wasn’t. Iced tea was cloudy & undrinkable.

    My friend and I ate outside on the patio. A very relaxed, breezey picturesque setting. Jim our server was so friendly and made the best lemoncello drink! Lunch was good too but we'll back for the cocktails.

    Highly recommend wild mushroom ravioli, short rib gnocchi and chicken vesuvio. Welcoming, helpful staff, and view of the golf course is beautiful. A hidden gem.

    We attended the Crema di Limoncello class - what a wonderful event. PLEASE do more of these types of classes. Loved that you offered appetizers and tastings of all of the flavors of Limoncello type drinks that you make. Excited to be able to purchase bottles of your Crema di Limoncello eventually. Highly recommend attending these events, love the food and the service was over the top - thank you!
