   We had a relatively early dinner reservation and when we arrived they indicated it would be about 10 minutes to be seated. Even though there were empty tables, 30 minutes later we were seated. After our meal which was good but not anything remarkable we asked to talk with the manager. He really wasn’t interested in our input regarding how we felt that it was poor form to have empty tables while having patrons wait to be seated. It must be a money game as they want you to drink at the bar while you wait. We pointed out that there were empty tables and we still had to wait. He defended that they weren’t under staffed or overbooked, but his only point was he didn’t want to seat us to have to wait for service (doesn’t this sound like overbooked or understaffed).. So all in all an disappointing anniversary experience. While we have visited this restaurant more than 3 times in the last month, we don’t plan on going back after the last experience. We eat at fine restaurants around the globe and this place pales in comparison.

   We had a delightful dinner early on a Wednesday. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. The tableside service was well done. The manager greeted us and was aware it was our anniversary. The food was delicious. We will definitely return.

   There were a surprising amount of vegan options for an Italian restaurant and we all found our food delicious and nicely proportioned.

    We had a very enjoyable time and Karen and her girls did a great job in servicing our table. Felt that the menu was a little limited in options and portions average size for the price.

    Outstanding in every way!! Hostess, busboy, and especially our sweet waitress Karen were wonderful. Can’t wait to go back. My daughter has some mobility issues, walks with a walker. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. She asked for iced coffee which was not on the menu, Karen whipped up a made-to-order, perfect drink for her. Food, delicious. Best tiramisu ever. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant. We will be back soon, can’t wait!

    Really great atmosphere and food. The burrata with prosciutto was so good. The blackened tuna and ravioli entrees were both flavorful and the drinks were good too. The tiramisu was super boozy but still good. We would definitely go back.

    The food and waiter were outstanding!!! When we arrived I asked if they would take the cake I brought for a birthday celebration and was told by the hostess that they charge a $5.pp fee to cut , I replied that I would cut it , she then proceeded to tell me that they do not allow outside cakes.. I have been out to several restaurants and have brought several dessert items for celebrations and have never been told that. I would think after spending close to $500.00 for dinner that as a courtesy the establishment would allow this.. Also the pasta portion was a bit small , after all pasta is cheap why not be generous. The overall experience was pleasing the hostess was miserable!!!!

    Waitress disappeared for long periods of time, requiring us to go to the bar to correct wrong drink orders & get the check at the end of the meal. Food was lackluster. Decor and ambiance were good and there is overall potential, but they need to greatly step up their game in order to compete in the Oak Brook market.

    It was the first time for my guests and the experience was fantastic. The server was so upbeat and accommodating to everyone that it really added to the visit. . His personality was charming and his attention to detail was impressive. The food was excellent and we had very different tastes. From hamburger and fries to rigatoni and pesce en brodetta....then we had a special dessert...a mix of fabulous tiramisu and baby cannoli.

    Ate here for the first time yesterday and it was great. The food was excellent (especially the fettucini cooked table-side on a large parmesan wheel), the staff was very good and the prices were moderate. Will definitely return.

    The server and food was excellent. The noise level makes it hard to hear our tablemates. The music was turns up pretty loud. Then everyone was talking loud to compensate for the loud music. I doubt I will eat here again because it is far too noisy to enjoy my meal.

    I was looking forward to finally eating here as it has been busy and booked whenever I have tried to get a reservation. We were able to get in and went with some out of town friends. The service and ambiance were very nice. Though they put us at a table that was not in the main dining areas so we were kind of in the back, which lacked the nice energy and ambiance of when we walked in. We started with meats and cheeses. The prosciutto was delish! Our friends pasta fagioli was heavy and brown. Just not what he expected but it tasted fine. Branzino was too charred and a bit dry. Carpaccio was cut too thick for my liking, there was not any shaved parmagiano on the plate and I was offered mushrooms instead of the arugula on top and I wish I would have stuck with the arugula. The raw beef with sautéed mushrooms on top was weird. My husband had the Tonno- not visually pleasing at all. There was a brownish drizzle on top and it was breaded - again not terrible just not appetizing. The young people in our group enjoyed their skirt steak and fettuccini alfredo. My coffee was lukewarm, the mini cannoli’s just ok, but the kids enjoyed their tiramisu. We love to eat and do not mind paying up for a beautiful meal. Unfortunately this was NOT it.
