   Such a sweet, intimate and well run restaurant. Great staff from bartenders, hostess and servers. Very accommodating and conscience with attention to detail. Food was outstanding and not overpriced which is surprising for west loop. Hidden gem here!

   I ate here because it was listed as participating in restaurant week. None of the main dishes me or my partner ordered were good--flavors off, portions too large, ingredients didn't taste fresh. Drinks and dessert were fine, but generally not worth the trouble.

   Had a fabulous time tonight here for restaurant week: $44 for a 3 course meal tonight. Everything was delicious!! Including the bread. The servers were sweet and very on top of things even when it was super busy and packed. It was an intimate setting as well which was nice! Not too loud either where we could hear each other!

    2nd time in a row for sub-par dish. My wife and I like the physical plant but my dish, chicken milanese, was inedible---almost too dry to cut. To the restaurant's credit they did remove the charge.

    Great evening for a company dinner for 5. Excellent food, ambience and wine list. and the live jazz combo was an unexpected bonus. Service could have been a bit better. They missed one diner's entree order initially, and then didn't check after the meals were served, as one diner hoped to have her entree heated a bit more.

    We really enjoyed Riccardo Osteria for our weekly family dinner on Saturday night. However, instead of a relaxed ambiance, there was fairly loud and distracting music playing the entire time. Not sure why loud-ish music is necessary, as the space is already quite loud from people talking and being jam packed (on Saturday night). The space was also very tight and jammed with tables. I personally found it a bit stressful and uncomfortable. Maybe others are okay with it. I felt much more comfortable after 9:00PM as many tables had emptied out by then. The next time we return, I'll for sure reserve a later night table. Otherwise, the issues with the ambiance in my opinion take away quite a lot from the dinner experience. The food I thought was solid southern Italian food (pastas, pizzas, the traditional mains) and very fairly priced. It's a good value, and their wine is excellent. The wine actually was my favorite part of the dinner!

    I had reservations with my girlfriend on a Saturday night at 8:00. When we walked in at 5 till, the place was absolutely packed. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess that informed us our table was not quite ready, and suggested we wait at the bar. I typically wouldn’t have minded the 15 minute wait but the bar was shoulder to shoulder with one bartender working. The dining area and bar were extremely close to another. I felt bad for the patrons that were eating their dinner surrounded by the unrestrained costumers at the bar. Luckily me and my girlfriend were seated closer to the back where we remained undisturbed by the crowded bar that started to dwindle as the night passed. The food was spectacular and our waitress suggested a great Asiago stuffed gnocchi. Overall we had a great dining experience and the food was fantastic.

    We had a 6:30 reservation and were not seated until after 7. No offer to accomodate drinks at bar or anything else. When seated we were told there was a large party coming in and we had to put our orders in by a certain time. We were told our order had be submitted all at once as oppossed to apps first and later entrees. Really shocking ownership could do this on a Saturday night. Will not come back here.

    We showed up at 5:15 for a 5:30 reservation on a sat night. Restaurant was empty so they sat us and proceeded to rush us through the meal so they could turn the table. We asked our server for a few minutes between our salad and dinner. She came back and told us that the manager told her they had a busy night and we couldn’t tie up a table then they promptly delivered our dinner which had been sitting under a heat lamp. This was 30 mins after we were seated and 15 mins after our original reservation time. The food was average at best. I would describe as above average bar food. The experience was rushed and best described as eating in a busy bar with people standing by our table by the time we left 1 hour after being seated. No thanks. We won’t be back.

    This place was amazing. The vodka gnocchi is to die for. Amazing neighborhood Italian spot, the food is delicious, ambiance is cozy, and service is friendly. Definitely recommend this place, good date spot and also a place you can take your parents.

    The food was excellent. I got the Branzino special and it was amazing. Someone else got the veal and it was also delicious. We didn’t taste a bad thing at the table and it was very reasonable priced for the area and food quality. I will be back!

    Food was very good. We sat outside since it was so nice which was great but with the “el” going by every 10 mins, conversation with tricky. I thought the portions were very small for the price, except for my Branzino. The guys were still hungry and we had an app and a salad.

    We got a last mine reservation which was really appreciated. It was the smallest 4 top table imaginable, the food was just fine. It really depends on what your order. Cocktails were strong, so good or bad depends your vibe. I’d go back to eat a chicken parm at the bar.
