    Italian Sub
    Andrew P.

    Wonderful family owned bakery with weekday lunch options. In a strip mall with other choices to dine in and then stop here and grab a dessert or some bread for dinner. The staff were nice and the insides felt like a traditional Italian joint. Everything I had was fresh and delicious! I didn't bother waiting for dinner and just finished it when I got home. Italian Sub: a grinder with salami, cheese, lettuce, tomato on a crunchy and soft roll. Great for lunch. They make it out back, so let them know you want one while being tempted on your dessert options. Cannoli with custard : crunchy with a nice creamy filling. It was great, but lost out to its brother. Cannoli Sfogliatelle: this was a religious experience for me. The layers were crisp and crunchy. ASMR worthy. The filling was absolutely delightful. You need, not must, need to try one of these. If you don't like it, I'll question your culinary taste. :p

    What a surprise find! I was excited to try the Arancini and I was so glad we did. They were better than most in the Chicago area with lots of filling in a couple of peas. I would've like more peas I was told they are fresh fried every morning And heated up great when I got home. I added a little extra Romano cheese, but that's just me as a cheese lover. Also wanted to try the.Sfincuni it was a little different and salty. I thought the cookies were pretty expensive at $17 a pound so I didn't get any but I also got a.zepolli and it was very good. Ate them all also fast but I didn't get a picture.

    I came across this place through a mention by The Hungry Hound host, food writer & critic, Steve Dolinsky. He had talked about shops around Chicagoland that sell Sicilian pizza slices and I am always on the look out for them. So it was a no-brainer for me to check this place out. I got here between 2:30 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. The first I asked was what Sicilian slices they had and unfortunately to my luck, they were all sold out. That was a big bummer as I had set out to get them and really wanted to have one. The lady who helped said that usually they sell out after lunch time and my take away from that was that they probably don't make a whole lot and when they are gone, they are gone (unless they have the dough to prep and bake fresh ones). Anyway, I was determined to get something from there and not leave empty handed as I liked what I saw in their pastries selection. I ordered one of their Cassata Cake Slice, Sfogliatelle, Pasticciotti and Canneloni. All of these pastries were good and scrumptious. My favorites were the Canneloni and Sfogliatelle the most. They also sell homemade gelato and I tried a couple of flavors which were nice. But I wasn't in the mood for it so skipped it. I am dessert fan and love Italian pastries among others so I left a happy camper despite the bummer of not getting the Sicilian slices. Plus, the service I received was good as well so that also helped leave as a happy camper and return someday soon for more of their delicious goodies. From what I saw here, in terms of their selection variety and price point, it is definitely a must visit place, especially, if you haven't been here before. It's a locally owned mom & pop type bakery shop. And they seem to have a loyal following which is well warranted. I highly recommend checking this shop out.

The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta.

Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

We were put on standby and surprisingly, for it being Chicago on a Friday night, an hour later, we were seated in a small cove, at a window, at the front lounge of the restaurant. For dinner, we had a chicken parmigiana and rolled lasagna, both which were amazing and I would definitely recommend either dish and while we were seated in a converted dining spot, we were able to view Merchandise Mart, the passing traffic, the daredevils on the electric bikes and the people walking by, which was oddly, an interesting form of entertainment. The host was extremely friendly and understanding, our waitress (I believe her name was Katie) was extremely attentive and the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is very small, maybe 20 tables inside and 4 outside (hence the need for a reservation), but it was busy the entire time we were there. For the many amazing eateries in Chicago, this is one that I would place up against all the others but if you decide to dine here, make sure to call ahead for a reservation to guarantee being seated quicker however, if you do not do so, expect an hour wait or longer with possibly one of the most unique views in the place.

The octopus surprised me because octopus can be hit or miss for me, but they did it really well! The table bread was also pretty good and cheesy. The Caesar was just fine. Nothing special but not bad (which is good coming from me since I'm not usually big on kale). Of course all of the pastas were yummy. The fusilloni was definitely my favorite from the noodle shape to the sausage and cheese. The ricotta dumplings were suuuuuper cheesy which I really liked (though I could see why others wouldn't) and had a melt in your mouth softness. The rigatoni was tasty, but kinda just tasted like a normal red sauce so would probably try something more interesting next time. We really enjoyed the chicken parm, too. Not as good as the pastas, but definitely tasty and the basil was a good touch. We finished with the guava cheesecake sundae. I really liked the little bits of cake, but the ice cream itself was a little lacking for me. Still a nice sweet treat to finish the meal!! We had the perfect amount of food overall for 4 people!

The kitchen was a little backed up so it took a while to get our food, but the manager did come and personally apologize.
