This was a truly bizarre experience. I had walked by this restaurant many times but had never eaten there. When I arrived there for my reservation there was no Pane Caldo signage anywhere. I thought to myself... am I in the right place... am I losing my mind? When my friend who is from Chicago arrived, he wondered too if they had closed and went in to inquire. The woman behind the bar described it as sort of a rebranding and that they were changing there name. It was unclear as to whether there had been an ownership change. Apparently this had all happened in the 5 days since I made the reservation... fishy. Our waiter was not unfriendly but was beyond strange. He seemed very invested in what we ate for dinner and pushed us very hard in one direction or another. He was there and wouldn't leave in some instances and couldn't be found in others. The food was surprisingly good I will say.

This is just a beautiful, elegant restaurant. The food is exceptional. One of the best high end Italian restaurants in the city at an excellent price point for this level of luxury. You feel like you are in that small favorite restaurant you found on that last trip to Rome or the one you wish you had taken.

Waiter was terrible. He didn't write anything down consequently there were errors. We were celebrating a special occasion and our cocktails came out at different times and one took 30 minutes to get to our table. Halfway through our dinner we were told that the waiter was sent home. Tip amounts on receipt were based on after-tax amount and the recommendation was 20%, 25% and 30%. The only thing that was good about our night was that the food was good. Also a very friendly host who actually went across the street to get mint for the 30 minute Mojito.

Dined here for Valentine's Day. It is a quieter place, nice ambiance. Service was disappointing and very slow. It wasn't very busy on Valentine's Day, but I feel like the server was not as attentive to our table as to other tables... Waited very long to order food and drinks. Other than that, the wine was great. They have a great selection of wine. The food was not mind-blowing, but enjoyable!

Had dinner before a play at nearby Water Tower. The food was excellent -- especially the appetizers. Best Cosmopolitan that I've had for a long time. We had lobster ravioli and duck with cherry sauce. Lovely, quiet, modern atmosphere. Food came quickly. The server was a distant and a little arrogant, but all other staff we encountered were friendly.

A lackluster and expensive experience. Very different from prior restaurant of the same name. Duck was overcooked and dry. Other dishes were mediocre. Service was lackluster and inconsistent. All three diners had the same opinion. Will not return there any time soon.

Had wanted to try this little Italian gem in Watertower area for awhile. Restaurant week & a visiting friend provided the impetus. Light, elegant Italian fare with more than a hint of Italia vs the over sauced, oversized American Italian that is too common. Chose a fabulous fresh pasta w rabbit Ragu that did not disappoint. The chocolate dessert, various chocolate mousse selections in a dark chocolate cup w marvelous cream was a surprisingly tasty finale
