revisited for the first time in years for a friend’s chicago marathon carbo-load and it was just as wonderful as i remembered. the food was delicious, and our server’s recommendations were fantastic. my only complaint is that we felt a draft come in every time the door opened despite there being two sets of double doors, and that our table was definitely too small for how many dishes we ordered 🤣 we tried the insalata di mare, funghi e salsiccia pizza, ciotta ciotta stuffed pizza, marathon spaghetti & meatballs, paccheri alla boscaiola pasta, sarracino pasta, scialatielli di nella pasta, and chocolate lava cake. their pizzas are delicious, but their pastas were definitely the highlight for me. i especially enjoyed the scialatielli di nella, which was a red sauce pasta with lobster and other seafood flavors. the mussels in it were super tasty, and they melted in my mouth when they were warm
The food was really good! The pasta and pizza slaps. One of the best I’ve had n
Such a nice place to unwind from a busy day... the staff was welcoming, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing, our server was patient & kind as I struggled with the entree's pronunciation, and he was friendly and humorous as well. The beer choices were ample and the décor was incredible
A nice evening with friends. Close to U Chicago campus. We had the squid starter and then each of us had a pizza and or calzone. These are thin crust wood fired oven pizzas. The bruschetta was just ok. But pizzas were good. We would definitely go back again.
