The food and drinks are fabulous. I had a planned vacation so I put my leftovers in the freezer. When I returned I thawed them out and warmed my items in the toaster oven. They were just as delicious as when I first ordered them.

Appetizers were great. Had the Caesar salad and calamari. For dinner had the rigatoni a la vodka and Nana’s gravy. Both had good flavor. Sauce was a little thicker than we’d liked. Overall ok experience. Very nice wait staff.

In for a business meeting dinner. Excellent Italian cuisine in a relaxed environment. Our server was helpful in explain the menu and giving us recommendations. Portions were huge with every meal so always something to take home. Cost was surprisingly modest. Will return when back in Chicago.
