From the atmosphere, to the decor to the food, everything just felt right. They currently have their winter menu right now and I ended up ordering the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries. Definitely a healthier bite on their menu but it was still packed with so much flavor and the perfect buffalo kick. For appetizers I ordered the Tempura Shrimp and I really liked that ALL the food came out steaming hot. I didn't catch our waitress's name but she was informative and kind from the beginning. She even told us they host comedy shows there, which is such a nice touch. I will definitely be returning, especially once warmer Chicago days arrive and their patio can fully be enjoyed.

It was nice to see all of the servers and bartenders working together to help each other out. We visited on a night when they had a DJ playing, which added to the lively vibe.

I 100% recommend trying one! You could taste the freshness in every bite, with gooey melted cheese and a perfectly cooked patty. Overall, a great spot for drinks, good food, and a fun atmosphere.

They don't toss, but give you the sauce on the side, which I was fine with. I asked for blue cheese crumbles, and they put a nice amount. The side salad is huge, and really good for just being a side salad. My only recommendation is that they overload it into a small bowl, so it's hard to eat without it falling out . I recommend a larger bowl. The server was friendly. I gave it 3 stars because it's absolutely filthy! I came right when they opened on a weekday, and the floors weren't cleaned from the night before. Literally food in the corners. Also, the table next to me filled with crumbs. When a group sat there, they wiped all the crumbs with their hand-eek! The table is so grimy that it's literally sticky! If you look at the trim, gate, condiments container,lights, and furniture- you can see loads of dust and grime. This place needs a GOOD clean down!

The location--across from Gerald Honda--is convenient, but that's about the only positive. The food is underwhelming at best. I ordered the corned beef skillet, which is my usual go-to, so I know what a good one should taste like. This one was bland, the sunny-side-up eggs were a tad overcooked and the hash browns lacked any crispness around the edges. Honestly, without ketchup, it would've been hard to get through. Overall, the atmosphere felt dull and depressing. Country music soundtrack made it more so. At this point, it's clear the kitchen needs improvement, whether that's retraining or revisiting recipes. I'll likely be trying another spot down the street in future.

That's really what it was he didn't deserve an $80 tip. The food was late coming out we had to remind him several times of different things to bring. I would never recommend this. These people are thieves, so I disputed it with my Chase bank account and they credited me the $40 back. I look at my account and instead of it being charged $191 it was charged $241 so it looked like he reverse the $40 but then added it onto the total amount of the bill yeah I would call that stealing.

But my memories of it were strong, snd since I had to run an errand in their neighborhood, I decided to see if it was as good as I remembered. First off, if you're looking for cracker thin crust, keep looking! This is a nice bready dough, soft to the tooth but crisp on the edges. Next, the sauce, cheese and sausage, all wonderfully flavored and balanced, were so copious, my straight-from-the-oven delight slipped apart on the short trip to my car, creating one very messy looking pizza. And even though I had to grab a fork to dig in, the taste was definitely worth it. I've had mixed results revisiting the pizzas of my past, but this one did not disappoint. I probably won't get back out that way very often, but would most certainly order again if I do. Thanks for the memories, Casciani's!

Our pizza was at the table in less than 10 minutes, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. They even gave me a recommendation, which ended up being the perfect choice. I ordered The Bricks, a Bari-style ultra-thin pizza with tomato sauce, mild Italian sausage, mushrooms, shaved red onion, the house cheese blend, and a touch of Asiago. The first bite completely won me over. It was one of those pizzas where nothing is trying to steal the spotlight, but together everything just clicks. The crust was thin, crispy, and had that slightly smoky flavor from the brick oven that you can only get from a real wood-fired pizza. The tomato sauce was fresh and slightly sweet, the sausage added a savory, well-seasoned bite and the mushrooms brought a deep earthy flavor that worked perfectly with the sweetness of the onions. Every bite had that perfect balance of crispy crust, gooey cheese, fresh sauce, and smoky toppings. I'll definitely be coming back. This has easily become one of the best wood-fired brick oven pizzas I've had.
