The bread is always fresh, the ingredients taste high-quality, and everything just hits. Our go-tos are the Il Carnivoro, Sicilla, Piccante, and the Italino... but honestly, I'd trust anything on the menu at this point. Also, their happy hour is such an underrated gem--Wednesday through Sunday from 5-7pm. They do 50% off Italian boards (perfect for a girls' night) and $9 spritzes. We're heading there this week and already looking forward to it.

I can't stop thinking about the sandwich I ate here. They have two vegetarian options on their menu and I went with the Modena sandwich. It was perfectly sweet, a little salty and had the most delicious pistachio cream. The focaccia bread it was made on was perfectly chewy as well. I wish they had more sides on their menu so I could try!

It's not as thick as other places, but it's perfectly cracker crust. They also have one of my new favorite salads in the city, which is the Sunday salad. My mom and I both agree that we hate when a restaurant is lazy with their salad and this one has so many toppings and good stuff. The ricotta gnocchi was decent but I'd skip next time. Service was fine, but the vibes are just really solid here and I think it's such a good spot in the area. It is a bit loud upstairs in the bar area and I do prefer the speakeasy but both serve different purposes.

We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon, and were seated immediately and a two-top. The wait staff was attentive and checked on us the entire meal. The interior was subdued and basic. We ordered a pizza some pasta, and calamari. Everything tasted great. Not at any point was the food greasy or heavy. The calimari was crispy on the outside. The pizza was crispy all throughout. The pasta was perfectly al dente. Overall, a great experience and a good representation of what Chicago has to offer.

I would definitely go back since it was seasoned well and had a good ratio of lettuce, chicken, and Parmesan.
