   We had an awesome time. We got to meet Chef Dylan and talk to him about specials and the Oso Buco was outstanding.

   Was a good date night. Cute restaurant. Tables are very close and food was just okay. The lobster ravioli was the special and I like my wife’s pasta better. The lobster you could tell was frozen and for $30 I’m not expecting nothing crazy but it was just okay. The appetizer cheese flatbread with honey is a must. Server was very nice and answered all questions we had. I don’t know if I’d go back but was very good.

   This is my wife and my third time eating here, and this time we brought her parents as well. The food was delicious (it always is), and the staff was great. All four of us loved our meals and appetizers. Their focaccia bread is absolutely amazing! If you are debating about going here, go! It's worth it!

   This was our third visit and each time we were very pleased. My wife and I both ordered the Polenta & Ragu and it was delicious. We shall return.

   It was our first time dining at this location. It was really dark, but the waiter brought us a table light so we could read the menu. It was impressive that we were able to carry on a conversation, even though the restaurant was lively and we were sitting near the bar. The food was very good, though some dishes, much better than others. The bruschetta didn’t really have much flavor, but the polenta and Ragu was outstanding. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful, with great personality! We will definitely return.

   It was cold, we were all very chilly and somewhat close to the front doors also… It was a bit dark in there to see the menus and it would’ve been nice to have those little lamps like the other tables head

   I’ve been here a few times and I’m never disappointed. Food is good, service is friendly. The manager even let us taste a new bottle of wine they’re serving. One of our favorites in downtown Naperville.

   We ordered the beet salad which came out with just beets on a plate smeared with pistachio peanut butter and a little bit of cheese smeared to the side. And then we ordered the whipped ricotta which was fine, but nothing to write home about, and the cheese was a little bit bland. Then we order the orrichette with sausage and the orichrtte/pasta was underdone. You want an al dente pasta but not to this point. It was not easy to chew. And then we ordered the fish piccata which came out with some kind of a broth that we were not sure of because it did not look like a piccata. We actually asked the waiter if we ordered the right thing. And it was fine but again not what we were expecting to taste. There was no lemon forward and the capers just got lost in the broth sauce. I probably won’t return. It was extremely disappointing. The manager did comp us for the Question around the piccata which was nice and the service was excellent but again the food is what I’m looking for and it just was not good. It’s a shame because their sister restaurants are excellent!! Fat Rosies, Vasilis and Franchescas are some of my favorites!

    Great experience and great food! Many thanks to Salvador, who was our server. He gave friendly service and provided the food in a timely manner. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a great Italian dining experience.
