Rob, this is our favorite place by our old apt. Try the salumeria tasting with the eggplant salad, duck prosciutto and taleggio for sure. Calamari also basic and excellent.

The delicious pizza + the $20 wine make this one of my favorite spots in Chicago.- The Ravioli Filled with Braised Pork, Speck, & Fava Beans is topped with Pork Skin,simply delicious.
Sara MachiniakMarch 18, 2013Delicious real Italian food, service was a little slow but the atmosphere is charming and warm.
Italian tapas with an elegant feel, this is the place to go when you're in Chicago.
Ninah RandolphDecember 31, 2017Good for groups. Most items served Tapas style. Also fairly inexpensive
Yeuseung KimJuly 20, 2012Great food at reasonable prices. Margherita pizza, scallops, chicken -- all excellent.
irollerApril 12, 2015Like to eat from clean dishes? It's not your place. Everything is dirty after dishwasher and they're not very happy to replace it when you ask.
Morgan MillerDecember 13, 2011Four words: Dates wrapped in pancetta. A must order as a starter paired with a dirty martini. Perfect start to a night out.
Excellent place for large groups. Very reasonable prices.
Garlic bread isn't on the menu but ask them to make it for you. It is the best garlic bread you will ever have.
Tyler HermanSeptember 3, 2013True Italian. Served the way it should be. Small portions to share. Amazing.
Jake StrawnMarch 13, 2011Awesome service, atmosphere, and food. Ask for the tiramisu which is not on the menu. Good wine prices too. A+
Try the sangria (red or white). The rigatoni and margarita pizza are favorites too!
Andrew WellsApril 19, 2012The minestrone soup was good! Love the old pot they serve it in and the big spoon...HATE small spoons!
kaylaMarch 10, 2015My friends raved about this place but I thought it was so so. Reliable and quick service. Get the homemade noodles.
Best pasta & service in my part of the city. :-) although management might want to inform the servers about the foursquare specials.
Try the bacon wrapped dates. You get 8 an order but you'll wish you had an endless supply.
Manuel RamirezNovember 18, 2013You can have your very own parmesan sheredder for only 12 usd... Nice!!!
