    My team recommended this place while I was in town and they did not disappoint. Whether you live…read morehere, driving through or visiting make it a point to stop by. Ambiance: cute, cozy and intimate lighting which is perfect date night vibe and there were still some bigger parties accommodated. Arrived and it was packed and still not very noisy. Service: Nick was awesome! Knowledgeable, friendly and personable. There's a level of pride in the work that he does that screams unreasonable hospitality (IYKYK) and paced my courses out beautifully. Wine recommendation was on point and attention to others didn't lapse. All tables felt his presence. Food: House salad was easily the best red wine vinaigrette that I've ever had. The garlic was the perfect kick. Scallops appetizer were sweet and perfectly cooked through and the spinach/basil cream sauce that was under and surrounded the dish was amazing (and I don't or at least didn't think I liked basil!). For dinner I hate the halibut and mushroom risotto which was cooked to perfection. The risotto does have onions which I missed and didn't care for but they took care and offered me a separate bed which I thought was incredibly nice. For dessert I had the chocolate cake which was delicious. Coffee/espresso hints and perfect texture of cake to filling. I will be back for sure!

    Cannova's Pizzeria - Large Sicilian pizza.  Too goddamn spicy.  Our waiter wasted time with the bullshit small talk.  Chop, chop with the food Cameron!  Damn.

    Atmosphere: Cute little place with a very eclectic vibe. They have everything from wall sconces, to…read moreblueprints, to neon signs, a giant moose head, and they have a piano in the front window for people to play. The bathrooms were clean. There was also a real sense of family? amongst the patrons, everyone sitting at the bar seemed to know each other and it had small town feel in a city. Service: Friendly waitstaff from the hostess to the server to the busser to the bartender. The young man working as the busser was literally on the go non-stop. He must have had 3000 steps in just in the time we were there. He filled out water glasses 3 times and we were really grateful for him. Drinks: We didn't opt for drinks this time but will for sure be ordering some during our next visit. The blonde bartender was SLAYING drinks. I've never seen someone so confidently make a cosmo and an old fashion within a 3 min. time span. She is a force and knows exactly what she is doing. Food: We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. I really recommend the calamari appetizer, great quality and the spicy sauce that came with it was delicious (I love the spice level it was perfect!). I literally can't stop thinking about the salad I had, it was so diverse in flavor profile and texture...salty, sweet, acidic, bitter, creamy, crunchy, and fresh. I have only one complaint, both of our water glasses on the table that we had to drink out of were dirty (dried food stuck on the outside of the glasses and a sticky residue). Instead of making a fuss we just asked for straws. I can't wait to come back here, I'm hoping it is sooner than later!

    Cannovas Pizzeria IS THE BEST IN TOWN!! It tastes like the Italian food I had in NYC. My…read moreboyfriend's grandfather was born in the Bronx and grew up on Long Island. This is his first pick for Italian food. He says the pizza is as close as you can get for an authentic NYC pizza. Their sauce is so delicious too, it's not over acidic like other places. It's slightly sweet! I almost purchased some to go because I loved it so much. Great family business too. PHENOMENAL. I wish I could give this 100 stars!! YOU MUST GO!

    If you look back over my reviews, there are not a ton of 5-star reviews. On my first, but not last,…read morevisit to Author's there was virtually nothing to complain about! We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

Unbelievable hospitality from the staff (Jackie and Victoria). The food is amazing, fresh, dimensional and just plain delicious . The atmosphere is so wonderful and always cozy/warm. Can't say enough about Authors. We absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMEND. If you still haven't you absolutely have to check it out for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed!

This place is such a hit for me that I will absolutely be coming back the next time I'm in town. The food/ingredients are so fresh and you can tell they are local. It provided such a great combo of flavors but wasn't heavy or overpowering... honestly, it was just right and hit the spot. The place is also such a cute little place and has a great ambience for a date night especially. It's tucked away from downtown yet it's right by it. I highly recommend anyone to try this spot.. just be sure to make reservations since it's a small space and it fills up very quickly, even on weeknights. It could be difficult to get a table as a walk in.

Very small chance that you will get a walk-in, especially on the weekend. They did have carry out as an option in case you are craving their food but they don't have seating availability. Atmosphere: Tiny little building. Street parking only. The inside is very cozy. The chairs are a little uncomfortable since there is no upper back support. They have a nice little bar area to sit at and you get to watch the team work their magic. They have a single person unisex bathroom and it was super clean. They also do hand towels instead of paper towels which is a cute touch and a nice dedication to sustainability. Food: The food is so delicious. The quality of ingredients is fantastic. I love the diversity of the menu and ingredients, some of the items you can't find in most other restaurants in the Fox Valley. I can't wait to come back and try more items off the menu. Service: Above and beyond that is why this is getting 5 stars. Taylor/Tayler*? had impeccable service. One of the items we ordered off the menu had a mishap that was completely unexpected and the staff was confused. They went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Their staff is built of rockstars. This place will always have a special place in our hearts for making sure that our celebration night will always be remembered. Thank you Ellinor!
