Service was great! Food was phenomenal! Little Italian spot with vinyl table clothes. Server paired my meal with a great wine. Made the entire meal so much better. Need to put this on the regular list.

Tried this hidden gem for the first time. Excellent mix of authentic Sicilian food and Italian American favorites. The cioppino had an excellent flavor with a generous amount of seafood. The fresh bread was also excellent. The staff was inviting and the service was attentive.

A local and authentic Italian spot! The food was delicious and very authentic. We went on Sunday early evening and it was packed. They are definitely understaffed as there were only two servers for the entire restaurant. We ordered linguine with mussels but we got linguine with clams. Unfortunately, the restaurant was so busy it wasn't even worth trying to get it fixed. The tiramisu was the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life!

The food was excellent. Group of 10 celebrating a birthday. Seafood Appetizers were delicious. Everyone in the group ordered a diverse selection of main courses. Seafood, pastas, and meats. I ordered a Sicilian Steak and it was gigantic. All the meals were big portions. Soup/ Salad included. Waitress was very attentive and the food was served on time. Dining area is mid sized and can fill up quickly. Would highly recommended reservations. The owner was very friendly and celebrated the birthday with us. It's located in a Strip Mall with lots of parking.

We held a private wedding shower for 50 people on a recent Sunday afternoon. It was a wonderful party, and the layout and food was prepared with love by the owner and presented by wonderful servers who made the party a great success. Highly recommend the restaurant for dinner for one to a larger group. The food is so good, and as a small restaurant, perfect a great date.

If I could give it a 3.8, that would be a more appropriate score. My husband gave it a 4, and I give it a 3. The family and I were in search of food after an appointment at O'hare airport. I found this cute little restaurant with decent reviews. It is located in a strip mall with surrounding businesses. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff was very nice. I ordered the Linguine with Calamari with red sauce, and my daughter had the white sauce. I prefer the white sauce. The red sauce was too sweet for me. My husband had the Mini Braciole. He liked it. I thought it was overly sweet. We also ordered the grilled Calamari, which had a nice char, but I recommend squeezing lemon on top for more flavor. My daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo, which she was not impressed with. Overall, it wasn't for me, but I can see how others may like it. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are large.

Visited here on a Thursday night. It's a small place- walked in and there were a few tables with parties. We waited maybe 5 min for a table. Sat down, and got free delicious bread. We had to wait a few minutes for menus, but once we got them there were so many delicious options to choose from. Ended up starting out with bruschetta which was loaded with tomatoes. If you love tomatoes, then this is for you! For entrees, went with baked mostaccioli with a side of meatballs, chicken piccante that came with a side of noodles. Both entrees came with soup or salad (not pictured). FYI the minestrone soup is delicious, not your typical minestrone soup but still tasty. By the time we finished dinner, the place started to get crowded with a men's club meetup..... Would come again.....
