    Such a perfect little spot. Wonderful atmosphere, staff and food. It was our first visit and it was great. Good choices on menu! Can't wait to go back!

    Walk in the door and greeted with friendly smile and amazing smells. Great place to stop in for drinks and a snack or lunch. Jville is lucky to have such a gem.

    My favorite focaccia
    Cynthia S.

    We were in town for a few hours for bridal dress shopping and found this cute place next to the nostalgic movie theater. Opens at 4pm, but worth the wait. We ordered focaccia with whipped feta, the charcuterie board, two caesar salads, and a pizza. I ate almost all the focaccia all by myself before my daughter returned from the restroom. It was THAT good! The bread was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The feta tasted less cheesy and more bland, creamy like burrata, and it was perfect. I was going to get one to go until I saw there was another helping on the charcuterie board I had ordered. The Caesar salads were not my favorite and the pizza was like a good hand-tossed with home-made sauce. Bright, cheerful place with one waitress. Orders come out randomly as everything is made from scratch. I would drive the two hours up to Jacksonville just to eat here! Highly recommended!

    This is an unbelievable find in Jacksonville Illinois. Who would have ever thought of putting a true Italian bistro in this place. Food is amazing. Nice assortment of Italian food and drinks in the grocery section. The only bad thing is they have limited hours. Not sure why, but they are always busy.

    Jones pizza

    What a wonderful place! Service, atmosphere, drinks, & pizza is top notch! We try to go at least once a month for a date night. It is our go to place!

    Chicken parm sandwich

    Up here for a work trip and saw this gem on the map. 10/10 recommend. Got their new chicken parm sandwich made with fresh focaccia-

    ESPRESSO MARTINI!!! So good!

    I've been trying to get here all year! This place is a fun, trendy, clean little gathering place which also has 3 loft style rooms they BNB too. The small menu which can be found online is perfect and has a little something for everyone. Support local, try this place and you'll see. www.thelittlestove.com

    We were there on a warm summer evening and dined outside where the classic downtown buildings…read moreprovided shade for the setting sun. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

The menu was several pages but only one page with food, drinks were the remainder. We got the dipper appetizer and I had the Sassy Chicken Thighs. Both were good and the thigh was boneless. My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed. I suppose when the chef can master a menu there's no need for multiple pages. I misjudged and would definitely come back if I'm in town again.

The food is consistently fantastic, and the cocktails are always perfectly done. We've been back several times now and have never been disappointed.

It was a special night, a group of foodie friends got together after not seeing each other for a while. It was a group of 11 and the accommodations and service couldn't have been better. Our server was extremely professional and didn't mind that it was 6 different checks. As our server was telling us the Daily Specials and the Catch of the Day, I immediately knew what I wanted. Whenever I hear, Pan Seared Sea Scallops or anything with Scallops, I'm sold. My scallops (4) were huge and the Risotto that they were served on was moist and flavorful. I also learned that they offer half bottles of wine and one of them is my favorite. I love, Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm probably going to wine hell because I paired it with my seafood instead of a white wine. Also, I want to give a shout out for their, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. I've been known to stop by and have them and a Martini and call it a meal. When: February 19, 2026 Why: Meeting up with friends
