Great food and ambience. I had eggplant parmigiana and my husband the lobster ravioli. It was delicious. The service was superb. Will definitely go back.

We had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken!! Delicious and Great Flavor. Stuffed artichoke, soft seasoning was fabulous. Lobster ravioli, with Vodka sauce Great taste, seasoning perfect!!

This place has always been amazing. From all the staff to the atmosphere.... It's been 10 years. And this restaurant just keeps getting better in time. Like wine !!! The grilled calimari was amazing. Along with the lobster ravioli and black linguine seafood dish .... Marty himself would be so proud of his family taking good care of this hidden gem !!! By far the best Sicilian restaurant in the Midwest!! Have to go to New York to find a place like this. ... Thank you to the Mart Anthony Family . Keep up the good work.

Absolutely love this neighborhood gem. The food is delicious and fairly priced for the portions and quality of the food. Wait staff is always friendly and happy to make a suggestion. I consider it a "hidden" gem but has quickly become a favorite suggestion in my friend group when we decide to give-in to our carb cravings. Will return consistently as long as I live here

I spent a chilly Chicago evening in this classic and cozy Italian spot. Immediately upon entering, you feel like you're at home. The space is small and intimate with that old-school feel. The service was friendly and attentive and our waitress was very patient with me while a friend and I were catching up. :) Onto the food - I ordered a glass of Pinot which, for me, paired well with the Tortellini Romano dish. I typically don't go for red sauce pasta dishes but something about this one called my name! The pasta tasted homemade and the portion was enough to keep me happy and warm the rest of the night. I can't wait to come back for another cozy night out!
Stopped in with my fiancé before a show downtown. We came in shortly after opening. At first we were only one of 2 tables in the entire place, but soon after the place came to life. This is a fantastic neighborhood restaurant where the owner recognizes everyone that walks through the door. The food brought back memories of my childhood. Everything we had was delicious! Before leaving we made a reservation for my next visit.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Veal Marsala was delicious and generous in serving size. Stuffed artichoke was amazing. Everyone loved their dinner. It's one of our go-to favorites.
Classic,old school Italian cuisine done very well. A friendly staff and a non-pretentious neighborhood feel make it a great place to

We grabbed a spot at the bar for a drink, stayed for dinner and I’m so glad we did! Tammy was our wonderful bartender, the service was amazing, and the food was incredible! Caprese salad was HUGE, for our entrees we ordered the rigatoni danielo (delicious) and cavatelli bolognese (even more delicious), portions were big without sacrificing quality. We had the tiramisu and it did not disappoint, neither did the wine list or limoncello. Will definitely be coming back, totally recommend this place for a casual dinner or a fancy date night!

This is my all time favorite Italian restaurant.I've been coming here for over twenty years, and while I usually only make it once every couple of years, I am consistently impressed with the entire experience. The atmosphere is beautiful but not distracting, the service is excellent, and the food is impeccable.When I first ate here over twenty years ago, I had the veal lemon. I've had it nearly every time since. My other favorites there are the lobster ravioli in vodka sauce and the sausage, peppers, and potatoes. I always request extra bread, because it feels sinful to not mop up every last but of sauce from each of these dishes.
It is a fabulous neighborhood dining its not 5 star. It is white tablecloths, it is comfortable and quiet, it is good food and reasonable prices. It is my go to when going to the United Center

Let me just say this is one of my favorite places to dine. The food and service are fantastic. When I made my reservation, I asked for inside the restaurant when we got there there was not a table available so they put us in the garden. The ambience out there is absolutely horrible. The furniture doesn't match, it is cold, the tables aren't set with salt and pepper or a candle. It totally ruins the experience. Please put some money into the garden area to make it match the warmth and coziness of the inside.
