Great atmosphere, great service, great flavorful food but they committed (2) Italian sins First sin “what no bread?” Second sin small French style portions. It’s an Italian joint with a French mentality on portions, not a fan of that but you may think different so give them a chance. Ask for the server Remy he was awesome! Would go back if in the area but not a go out of your way to eat there kind of place for us. Beats any Italian joint on “Famous” Taylor Street.

Solid place for very good food and service. Lots of pastas, risottos and farro dishes. Cocktails were good too. Great wine list. Do not go if you have sensitive hearing, however. The EL train over Lake Street shakes your inner core as you enter or walk on the street below.

Eating here was a great experience. We had a few items from the Specials (including Cavatelli with Pistacchio, and this fantastic Pollo con Limone) and then risotto with fava beans, sausage and wine. I am originally from Italy, and everything was cooked to perfection and so tasty. The atmosphere was lively, and cozy. The customer service so kind. I will return again.
