Service & Food were above my expectations ! I thought my Italian mother was in the kitchen ! Everything from the lasagne to the pizza tasted like the southern Italian cooking I grew up so much to.love! A couple in our party were on salt restricted diets , and all and any other requests were accommodated to our pleasure. As far as service, our waitress and buser gave us cruise ship type service ! This restaurant is in my top 5 in the Chicago Metro Area !!!

First to start - I have lived in Italy twice for a total of 9 years. The owner was at the bar and the waitress as well, I guess they can’t even afford a separate waitress. There was another guy front of house. I had a dirty martini and it was fine. I ordered the mussels in garlic and white wine sauce. 12 mussels (that’s it) for $15. When I looked , technically it was executed correctly, but there was so much salt in the broth it tasted like the Dead Sea had been poured into it. I told her it was salty and over seasoned , no idea if she gave the chef any feedback. Then onto the tagliatelle bolognese- I know how to make a Bolognese sauce from scratch, it’s not rocket science. Again look executed well and - this was under seasoned, bland , raw carrots and no crush tomatoes or sauce, just chunks of tomato. I ate about a quarter of it and couldn’t take it anymore. 2 things were obvious- this was not an Italian cook, and he didn’t taste the food before it went out. I took the leftovers and threw them in the trash. I was hoping for a great experience but it was absolutely terrible. You will never catch me stepping foot in there again.
