Don’t skip out on this place, and definitely don’t skip out on the chicken. Whoever is making the decisions back there is doing something very right. The garlic mashed potatoes were immaculate—smooth, creamy, flavorful, and buttery. The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection, with juices oozing out. The flavor was spot on and the pan sauce complimented the chicken wonderfully. Only thing is the broccoli rabe was incredibly bitter, nearly inedible, so I suggest swapping out that vegetable. The tomato basil soup was to die for, and if you get the martini, ask for blue cheese olives, because those olives were amazing. Seriously, this place is legit! They even had gluten free pasta for my husband. The chef back there KNOWS what they’re doing. Incredible food. And I’m definitely a food snob. Bravo!

I went here for dinner twice while staying next door at the hotel. Both meals were excellent in terms of quality, portions and flavor. I was staying at the hotel for the Chicago Marathon and having an Italian restaurant next door was just perfect! The staff was wonderful, making great small talk, learning more about me since I was visiting and giving great recommendations of things to do around the hotel area. They had a special "carb load" menu for the night before the Marathon which just showed me how much they cared about the visitors and what was needed. This will be my place to go whenever I come back for the marathon or any other activity in Chicago!

New owners & new chef and oh my, amazing food! The staff is on point and the atmosphere is luxurious without feeling too stuffy. They are currently doing breakfast, lunch, and brunch on the weekends, so looking forward to seeing what this chef brings to the table once they get back to doing dinners.
