I was first attracted to the train car look on the outside. On the inside you see a bar and the dinning area to the right. They lead us to the boxcar dinning area which was gorgeous. The menu was in English but all Italian meals. The food was fabulous and it was so much of it we had to take home the rest. I definitely recommend this place.

I liked a whole lot from this delicious restaurant, although it was a rough start. We got there pretty early for dinner and think we caught them off guard. We got there at 5, and the service was super slow, the butter was frozen cubes and the braying drunks in the attached sports bar ( complete with waitresses in miniskirts and hiked up hooters- esque attire) were loudly overpowering whatever quiet italian music they were piping into the dining area.
After 45 minutes of being there before getting dinner and apps, things got on a roll. The food was delicious and plentiful! It was also very moderately priced for being in the middle of the city, with 6 dollar tasty wines. While it is certainly not cosy and romantic, it was yummy enough to go when craving friendly place and a mound of good pasta.
Lovely restaurant. Dining in a train car was a unique experience. Excellent service and the best lasagna I've had. It was a huge serving and disappeared more quickly than I'd care to admit... As did the spumoni ice cream 😆
Magnifico! While visiting Chicago, we found this place for a dinner and the food and service was excellent. The guy giving water was obviously unpleased with life but otherwise, great place. The food (Ragu Sauce and the Marinara with Meatballs) was perfectly robust with garlic, salt, and pepper flavors-not sweet. I loved it!
I got the rigatoni and it was amazing!!! We also got fried spicy calamari and we loved that as well. All in all.. this quaint train car of a Dinning room provided us the perfect setting for our special occasion.
Only photo I managed to take! Delicious salmon & vegetables. Also liked their salad. Service was efficient and courteous.
Our server this time, Luis, was great and made sure we were happy with our orders. I had a fabulous tilapia dish. My spouse had a wonderful pasta dish. Even though he wasn’t our server, Efrain came by to check on us and make sure we were happy. And Carlos was equally attentive. The food was fabulous. The service was awesome. This is a great restaurant.
This place reminds me of a mix of the Mob restaurants u see in movies & the titanic. Loved it! The food was absolutely good. The best flavored food that I was able to taste in Chicago. The only thing our waiter wasn't friendly & his breath smelled really bad. Like the guy never heard of Floss in his life? 🤮
It was very good! We went on a Friday nice since it was close to where we were staying and raining outside. Bar was hopping, we went for dinner. It was quiet, you eat in an old rail car. I had a sausage, mushroom,broccoli, with penne a cream tomato sauce. Huge serving, served very hot...Just wonderful .Others had Asiago gnocchi with meat sauce, they both loved it. Server was pleasant. Not one complaint.
Delicious. Went here late evening on Saturday (9pm) for dinner; was blown away by authenticity and flavor of food. Shrimp appetizer incredible - as was the Veal Saltimbocca. Great service - present, but not hovering. Attentive to filling water glasses... the small things. I was pleased. Will definitely be back.
