    We were there on Sunday and ordered from the lunch menu. We have eaten there several times for dinner. Our parm chicken sandwiches were dry and my short rib Sammy was too sweet. Our coffee wasn’t hot, the second cup wasn’t either. Carrot cake was dry and took a long time to be served. We will try the dinner menu again.

    We’ve been to the one in Oak Brook many times but we figured we’d give this one a try. Food wasn’t as good. Chicken Milanese and arancini were over-fried. Mushroom risotto didn’t have much flavor. But the service was good!

    Excellent choices of beverages, entrees, appetizers and desserts. The food was delicious and delivered hot to the table. It was a busy Saturday evening, but our server managed to be attentive. We will come again.
