Family dining in a unique atmosphere that feels authentic. Great pizza, good bread, unbelievable salads and free cake on or around your birthday. Nice waitresses. We knew it was a chain from the get-go, but it's well done! more

While very much edible, the food is merely average. I tried the Calamari, Baked Manicotti, and Macaroni Rosa. The Manicotti was decent albeit a bit dry in my opinion, but that might have been because we ordered carry out. The Macaroni Rosa was fairly basic and very light on the red sauce which, to me, is a good thing as... more

COME HUNGRY!!! I love this place, I have been there twice now when visiting Chicago, my favorite is the chopped salad and the Chicken Marsala. This is all family style dinning which means each meal is supposed to serve at least two so if it is just two of you either plan on ordering the same meal or having left... more

This place is amazing. It is built around the group idea because all portions are created large to share. You would want at least 3 people to eat one of the portions. They even have a round table created for 20 ppl in a private section of the restaurant. more

From the minute we walked into the restaurant we knew we had picked a winner. What a lovely atomsphere and the staff so welcoming. We all had calamari to start which was cooked... more
