    The food here was amazing. On a recent work trip to Chicago, we stopped in at La Parra and left…read moreexcited about the meal. We got to try items that we had not had together before including the goat cheese and tomato sauce with the toasted bread. I personally loved the lamb which was very tender and fell off the bone. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They had a couple large groups that they were able to navigate with ease. They also provided a parting drink for everyone. Our Patas Bravas dish did come out a little late so we were not able to enjoy it as much since we were getting full, but it tasted heavenly with the dipping sauce. If you are in the area, please check them out!

The dinning room was fairly large as we walked in and sat close to the door. Pedro gave us the specials of the day and I ordered the seafood risotto ($32). My friend ordered the Fettuccine Fruitti di Mare ($30). Both dishes was good, with the right balance of protein and noodles. My risotto was a bit too cheesy but it was manageable. Service was very good, they stopped by to check on you and replace the dishes if needed. Overall, the food and service was great. There are plenty of street parking around the restaurant. I would come back for more next time.

My daughter even noticed that every single staff member wore a genuine smile. We celebrated two birthdays, and they went above and beyond by bringing out personalized plates with cake and candle for both birthday guests at the end of our meal. We ordered Crispy Octopus and Ceviche to start. Followed by Branzino Alla Aurora, Short Ribs, and Fettuccini Alfredo. All had lovely presentations and each cooked to perfection. We had a taste of each other's plate and we all agreed each dish had outstanding flavors. Simply delicious! The food exceeded all expectations. I can go on and on. Highly recommend! And we will definitely be back.

The food and drinks were excellent, a nice blend of latin/Spanish and Italian. Everything was well presented. The tropical mezcal cocktail was a great cocktail that is perfect for summer - moderately sweet and citrusy with the Smoky essence. The crispy octopus was unique and flavorful. My entrée was the house gnocchi. The gnocchi is made with beef short rib. Honestly, the best gnocchi that I have ever had. I paired it with a Primitivo, which was amazing by itself but was slightly too sweet for the gnocchi. I wound up getting a key lime cheesecake. It was a beautiful slice. The service was impressive. The place looks upscale but I was made to feel comfortable despite being casually dressed. Everyone treated me with kindness and and respect. They earned return visits.

From the soup to the main plates, no seasoning needed. I'll come back to that. On a very busy day, they made provisions for us and adjusted our time by 30 mins. Very welcoming! To handling my 93 year old mom and everyone else in our party. That said we had the sweet corn truffle oil soup. Phenomenal! My gurl ordered braised rib rustic risotto. I had the lamb Shank and potatoes. All wonderfully prepared and while we were eating my family was stating how they were definitely coming back to this spotq

    Okay, just an FYI parking in Forest Park has become difficult. the side streets are resident by…read morepermit only and Madison is "pay to park". Good luck finding a spot. The restaurant is teeny, tiny. The are 2 booths, one on each side of the wine cooler. 2 adults cannot sit comfortably on one side ~ 1 adult and 1 child is the max. Also, at the booths, the table is very far away from the bench. You have to move forward to the front edge of the bench to eat over the table. They are a BIG miss ~ so I recommend avoiding them. However, the rest of the tables are on top of one another, so do not expect to have a private, quiet conversation, while not being bumped by a server or someone trying to leave their table. Saturday night was packed with people waiting, standing right over the tables closest to the door. I know nothing can be done to accommodate as many diners as possible. Do not expect the usual Italian meal. Do not go hungry because no one leaves with a doggie bag. A side of asparagus consisted of 4 small spears for $10. A lot of fish on the menu. New to me, balsamic drizzled on top of your vanilla gelato as dessert. The "special" guava cheesecake was special because it consisted of pastry shells with whipped cream not a forkful of cheesecake to be found. Food was good, service was excellent, most interesting interpretation of Italian fusion.

The bread service was fantastic. The tomato focaccia and the baguette were both excellent and I had to remind myself not to fill up on it before the main meal! LOL! We started with the calamari which was very well seasoned and clearly not the typical frozen version you often see from foodservice distributors. It tasted fresh, was crispy, and well prepared. For dinner I ordered the margherita pizza which was simple and delicious. I ended up ordering a second one to-go for my partner who couldn't make it to dinner. He also loved it - even after it sat for ~30 min or so while we chatted more, then drove home to the Maywood area. I would imagine their delivery is pretty good based on that! My mom had the rigatoni vodka with added crumbled Italian sausage which she loved, and my dad ordered the Marcelino. He loved the generous amount of seafood and how well seasoned it was. My parents are big wine drinkers and my dad was especially impressed with the wine list and the selection available. Oscar was an incredible server!! He struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting us enjoy a relaxed, unhurried evening. The support staff and food runners were also fantastic and very friendly, making the entire service experience feel polished! I also loved the kitchen was more open which gives you confidence in the quality and care that goes into the food. The dining space is inviting with a nice bar area and an additional room that looks perfect for busy nights or private gatherings. Overall a great restaurant that we would absolutely return to!!

They have freshly baked bread and a lot of Italian food, ingredients and cooked food. I had just had dinner but I was so tempted to get some risotto or an arancini. The workers are very helpful and knowledgeable. We got a loaf of bread, sausage, cheese, olives, a slice of pizza, and 2 gelatos. If I was hungry I would have ordered a lot more because everything looked so delicious behind the counter. The gelato was so delicious! I really wish I had gotten the Italian ice though because it was so hot outside and it would have hit the spot. I would definitely return as I'd like to get pasta and some of their homemade pasta sauce.

Huge array of old school style dishes they make fresh - various pizzas, pasta dishes, chicken limone, sausage on a roll, gnochi you name it. It can get crowded in there so maybe send one person in from your group instead of everyone if there's a bunch of people with you. Their desserts are amazing too, save some space for it or bring a cooler to have it for later. There's some outdoor seating space and an indoor one too. Really nice people & phenomenal food you can't get many places anymore
