Really good food! Sat on the front patio so some street noise but not bad. Discovered they have a back patio - will try that next. Entrees are a bit pricy but worth it! Not our first time here and will go back.

Delicious dinner on beautiful outdoor patio in back. Tables are well spaced apart. Wonderful service.

Host and hostess were very accommodating, and the server was very nice. We sat on the back patio which is lovely. Appetizer and salad were very good but entrees were disappointing. I had the snapper which was pricey and overcooked. Very rubbery. My daughter had the gnocchi which was good but it was an appetizer sized portion, not enough for an entree. The Bolognese portion was much better. Also, be prepared to smell the cigar smoke wafting in from the cigar club that shares the building.

The service was off. My entrée, rack of lamb arrived at the table, only had a butter knife...had to track someone down for a steak knife. We were not checked on during the meal and had to ask another server to have our server come to our table to order more drinks. The food was good but not good enough to return again

patio was lovely!! server and food were excellent! will come back!!

Wonderful place for people to eat outside in the summer in a courtyard with a European feel and excellent food and service.

I went on a Monday so it was a very light crowd. As a whole the food was excellent—smaller portion sizes but it felt appropriate as we also had an appetizer. A little more expensive than I’d like compared to other Gold Coast/River North Italian restaurants, but the ambiance for the outdoor dining was calm and quiet. The gnocchi and ravioli were both incredible and light, just as the waitress had recommended.

Beautiful patio to the rear of the restaurant! It feels like you are on vacation. The branzino was terrific. Natasha our server was friendly and attentive! Definitely a place to entertain a client or family

Beautiful outdoor dining. Tasty food, excellent service.

The host was the best! Professional and friendly, set the perfect tone for the evening. The food was tasty and (thankfully) perfectly seasoned and NOT too salty. The waitress wasn’t a 10/10 on attentiveness, but she seemed new and was otherwise sweet.
