The quality is just exceptional and one of the most authentic taste. We had the calamari, spaghetti cacci pepe, and tiramisu, our entree was delivered by the chef which we truly appreciated. My toddler had the kids spaghetti and for a picky eater she loves it, along with her chocolate ice cream. Chef Marquez never disappoints.

The food and service were excellent as always. The noise level becomes too noisy for conversation at a peek time. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxed dining, I recommend arriving early right after the restaurant is opened.

What a pleasant surprise this was. The food and service were excellent. The chef came out at the end of our meal and offered us a shot of his homemade limoncello along with complementary desserts. All involved went out of their way to ensure our experience was wonderful. I think Gaetano would approve. 🙂

WOWSA!! I just picked a place when we were loading up the rental car at O’hare and boy did I pick right. Some of the best Italian food in the US. I’ve lived in Italy and I can honestly say it’s spot on! Even my kids and husband said they would make a special trip here again
