Food here is delicious and authentic. The owners take special pride in their work. Try the ravioli or the picatta!

Wouldn’t go there again and here is why. Food overpriced, ordered eggplant parm that was so tough (a first for me) that when someone finally came to check on us I had to ask for a steak knife to be able to cut it.In all fairness my husband ordered shrimp scampi which he said was good.A 10 dollar charge for cheap jug wine is way over the top. Waitress came by after we were done with our meal and asked if we had ordered yet. She was the one who originally placed our order.Reading reviews on this restaurant it seems the owners cannot handle any criticism unless it’s favorable.There is no need for them to reply with their smarmy comments because I won’t be back here to read them.Do Better!

Excellent food! Nice atmosphere and reminded me of Taylor Street and Chicago. Traditional Mediterranean/Italian decor Staff was quite blunt, to the point of being almost rude. But, I would highly recommend this place. The food is a bit pricey, but worth it. When you see the location, do not let it fool you, it is worth a visit.

The food is excellent. We were a party of five and everyone got something different. I had the Penne Alla Amtricciana which is a spicy dish that was delicious. The entrees made to perfection and the tiramisu was the best I have ever had.

Slow service and the server was not familiar with the menu.The restroom was very dirty. The matradee/owner/manager was extremely rude to a group that didn't have reservations however the restaurant was nearly empty and remained so all the time we were there. They charged $5 to split a meal and the portions were very very small. Additionally the cost of the meal was very high as well. The bread was good and the live music was good. Not a place I would return to.They seemed like they were doing you a favor to have you dine there.
