However, the only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is how close the tables were together. It was packed so tight that I could put my arm around the person next to me at the other table. I had a server behind in my face multiple times while looking to take a bite. Just move the tables a bit to give the place more space. Minus that issue it was a good time and would go back if we had a better seating experience.

You can tell they freshly make with love, I was lucky to have passed by as they were opening. The menu changes daily, ensure you ask questions if you're not familiar with pasta to get the best experience. I ordered the Lumache plate. It had Lumache noodles, L.G.B.T. (Lemon, garlic, basil, tomato) Sausage, Brasicas. The pasta was perfectly soft & the sausage seasoned lightly allowing the dish to remain light. This would pair well with a Chardonnay to offset. Desert was a tiramisu treat, soft coffee moose was perfect and stuffed with more fluffy cream. Small dining area and they get busy quick but it'll be worth any wait!

my favorite pasta place in the city that I think is super underrated!…read more The menu is rotating and certain dishes change each day. The truffle pasta is I think one of their staples because I have gotten it twice now and it's just so good. Perfect mix of truffle, buttery sauce, and pasta cooked to perfection. We've also gotten a carrot dish with a delicious miso sauce. Stuffed pasta with a red sauce. A cacio e pepe sauce with our noodle shape of choice. Everything feels so fresh and you can see the chef cooking in the kitchen! the pasta honestly does remind me of pasta dishes you would get in italy. The space itself is very small. There are about 5 tables where 4 people can sit at each one. The service is quick and the chef himself is fantastic!

We had the mushroom arancini also and it was FAB. Service was excellent and the pistachio cheesecake was a perfect dessert. Cocktails were really great and fairly priced.

Oh where to begin...a group and I dined here recently. Upon entering, the ambiance was very nice…read moreand every party's table had food and drinks on it. They are a new restaurant, so we tried to give them grace. Our server was an absolute gem, happy to help and get us anything we needed. However, they didn't gather orders from everyone at the table when they took them (confused), and we were constantly flagging her down. The drinks were beautiful in presentation, they really soured their glasses well. The Aperol spritz tasted more like a tangerine surprise than traditional Aperol bitters..unsure why. We sat down for our 7:15 reservation, and had our appetizer at 8:45. While they had an extensive appetizer menu and complimentary bread, the appetizer was not cooked fully. The manager apologized profusely and took them off of our bill. They let us know the chef was out of town, which led me to ask myself, if the chef was out of town, who was cooking the food? Our food came out shortly after. The pizza was phenomenal, a doughy sourdough crust and many options. I recommend the prosciutto. Some pasta dishes were tasty while others could have used refining. I do not recommend ordering the rigatoni bolognese. All in all, this restaurant is run by very kind souls, but there is some expertise in service needed here in order for them to keep up within the chicago dining scene.

We had appetizers, meals and desserts. Lots to review; all good. Peaches n' Crema - burrata pugliese, spiced honey, piccolo cucumber, pistachio, mint. This app was delightful in every way. It was sweet and savory in a unique way. Octopus Carpaccio Siciliano - peperoncino, orange, oreganata, caper. If a restaurant has octopus on the menu, I get it. This was the most unusual preparation of octopus I've seen. It was sliced thin like carpaccio (it's not only in the name, our server also made it clear before I ordered). All the ingredients worked together to deliver a nice flavor. It was good, but I lost the taste of octopus in it. Still, it was very good. Wood Roasted Meatballs - beef & pork, pomodoro, wild oregano, parmigiano vecchio. It was a three-meatball appetizer. I got to try a bit and it was wonderful! I tasted just a bit of fennel, one of my favorite spices in Italian food. Mark was able to save one to add to his pasta. Tagliolini All'amalfitana - clams, prawns, calamari, vermentino, cherry tomatoes, parsley. Our friend ordered this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bucatini Siccagno Pomodoro - siccagno tomato siciliano, garlic, basil; simple and delicious. As I mentioned, Mark added a meatball from the appetizer. I believe they can be ordered with the meal, which I heartily recommend. Paccheri Calabrese - n'duja pork ragu, san marzano tomato, peperoncini, parmigiano vecchio. SO delicious! I loved the flattened pasta. It was a lot of food. I didn't think I'd finish, but I most certainly did. Again, highly recommended. For dessert - Tiramisu. Our friend found it a bit dry. It was the lowest point of the meal, but not low enough to lower my review. Our friend mentioned it may have been day-old, but there's no way to tell. My hope is this dessert is generally moist and delectable. I suggest checking with your server to get a sense of what to expect. Mark and I both had Marscapone and Hazelnut Gelati. I felt it was a good size portion for the $6 price, which was reasonable. All desserts came with house-made biscotti. The gelati was fantastic. I found a chocolate chunk inside reminiscent of the chips in Graeter's ice cream (IYKYK). Our server was pleasant, helpful and a delight. If we lived in Chicago, we'd come back regularly.

They even printed our names on the menu with a happy anniversary message which we loved. Service is always top notch, and I love sitting on the patio when the weathers nice. On to the food.. Their focaccia is one of my favorites in the city (maybe anywhere?). We also absolutely love the funghi pizza and have gotten it on both occasions. Other items we tried were the arugula salad with shrimp (yummy light & refreshing starter) & spicy tagliolini di granchio (not too spicy or heavy). The tiramisu was great to top it all off! In my opinion, you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Hoping to go back soon to try the tartufo pizza!

Overall selection of food was great from apps, to main dishes to desserts. The menu seemed simple but the taste and quality were both highlights. I would totally go back just for thr pizza, delicious! Both the alcoholic drinks and mocktails were creative and mixing flavors that aren't usually together but somehow works. Staff were friendly and really did a wonderful job throughout the event. There were also swag bags for everyone! Hats off to Eater, CapitalOne and Radicle for the event!

This is by the same owners, and I genuinely do not think that it will be open for the year. The service was pretty good, but honestly slow and we told them that it was my birthday and they did nothing? The cocktails were very good and honestly the reason I would come back here because they were clearly fresh and very strong and only $10! We tried the summer squash, the margarita, pizza, and the seasonal sweetcorn pizza. The margarita pizza was very forgettable and the summer squash was fine, but it was really just squash and a spicy vinaigrette? The real star of the whole meal was the sweetcorn pizza. This was honestly amazing and you can tell that the corn was very fresh. I honestly think that they should expand their menu beyond just pizzas and seafood because it's very random and I don't think the concept really meshes together. The pizza crust is great and my favorite part tbh. Very light, but still crunchy. The restaurant was very empty and again I think that they were trying to do something more casual than daisies but they just kind of missed the mark here with the concept. I still think that it's worth checking out especially for their happy hour or just to try the seasonal pizzas, but it's not really a place that I would go again. There is so much good pizza in the area as well and this was fine!

It didn't even need cheese. I would come back for that burger alone but now I do want to try other things on the menu! I came in just before last order but was never made to feel rushed or hurried by the staff, and everything was efficient and courteous without being obtrusive. The space is cute! A note, however: I would get a table next time. The bar stools and the way the bar is positioned relative to them means you're either sitting sideways or with your knees jammed to the bar, and having to lean down to eat and drink... not very comfortable!

From the minute you walk in you feel like you've been transported back to Italy. Our server Luis was magnificent. Extremely attentive, always kept us in a sight and before we asked for anything it appeared on the table. It went as far as my wife accidentally dropping her napkin on the floor and not knowing it 10 seconds later he walks over picks up the napkin off the floor and hand her a brand new napkin. Might sound routine, but I've not seen that in any restaurant I've eating in in a while. The food was outstanding. First you offered the bread with the garlic oil to dip into. We ate a whole loaf. Then we dined on an appetizer of calamari which was perfectly cooked and seemed as if the batter was a buttery flaky thing of goodness. I had the lobster bisque with shrimp has my meal and was mad when I took the last spoonful because it was so delicious. I did not want it to go away. My wife had something that I thought was in genius. I don't have the name in front of me, but it was essentially flat noodles with lobster and shrimp and a red sauce when I tell you, this was a showstopper. I am not kidding. This is a mustine event for anyone in uptown ask for Luis and you will be treated like royalty
