One of the better dining eyes have had in years. This place is old school in all the great ways. We started at the bar with cocktails. Professional bartenders not mixologists. These guys have personalities. Then we went upstairs for dinner. Service was spot on. We started with grilled calamari and baked clams. Then an Italian salad. We got a bisteaka Florentina (spelling) and a rigatoni carbonara for the table along with creamed spinach. Outstanding!! Great wine list too. We finished with spamoni and coffees. If you have not been go. I highly recommend

This place feels like being in a trattoria in Italy — truly warm and cozy. The pastas were delicious, especially mine: the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, which reminded me of my nonna’s recipe. One of the best I’ve had in the United States. The meat was also good, but the real star of the night was definitely the pasta.

Perfect celebratory meal! We started with the smoked shrimp cocktail, N/A Negroni and their “heavenly” Manhattan to drink. I had the 12 oz filet and my husband got the 14 oz NY strip with bernaise for our mains. Both were cooked a perfect medium rare with a great char. We shared the grilled asparagus and potato supreme for sides. I had a glass of the Il Bruciato Super Tuscan with my steak. Everything was absolutely delicious. Wonderful service. Lively, familial yet upscale ambiance. Pricey! But we were celebrating and it felt so worth it. We were stuffed, so we ordered a slice of the chocolate cake to go for dessert. So glad we did. Phenomenal. Highly recommend the Chicago institution!

Nice Italian restaurant serving traditional dishes that are well made. The tagliatelle al ragù were good (just the pasta was a bit overcooked if I need to find a defect) and the chicken parm also was good, chicken was cooked perfectly. The ambience reminded me of a typical old style Italian restaurant and service was kind. Waiting time to have a table was quite long.

Coming from NYC and being use to the steakhouses there, this was a welcome sight. Traditional without being too stuffy or feeling outdated. Service was amazing. Our server was amazing even with dealing were a party of 13 tired and somewhat boozed up business people. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I will happy visit again during my next visit to Chicago and will recommend to everyone I know that visits.
