“Excellent Italian spot in the Evanston - Main St area. Can't believe we haven't been here more often. Recently dined in for our wedding anniversary dinner and brought our 17mo daughter along. They had the most clean and polished high chair we have ever seen at any establishment, but maybe not a lot of young ones dining in here. Ordered a couple of cocktails, and pictured here is an order of their Calamari Fritti, and a couple of their Neapolitan-style pizzes: Pizza Rucola and Pizza Salsiccia e Funghi. You can have them either have the pizza sliced or you can choose to slice yourself (which I did for the Pizza Rucola). Servers are prompt and friendly. We will be sure to visit again.”
“Amazing birthday dinner for our daughter. Pizza, lemonade, pasta, chicken, sea bass & lemon sorbet all delicious.”
“Simply delicious! We absolutely loved it! The flavors of the pasta reminded us of our trips to Italy. We're definitely going back. It's the perfect spot for going out with your other half, or with your family.”
“A good place to have lunch. Pizza was tasty but the olives were way too salty. My daughter loved the pappardelle pasta. Tiramisu was yum👍”
“I took a bunch of college kids to dinner here and we ordered 4 pizzas. All of the pizza’s were good. The staff we interacted with were all friendly and happy people. We also had a few drinks which were also good. We had a total of 6 people, the service was good and they added a service charge of 20% and I was perfectly fine with that. We will go back again to try some different pizza’s”
“This is my new favorite local Italian place. Lasagna is the best I had in years, and pasta with mushrooms is divine too!”
“YUMMY 😋 the grilled calamari was my favorite. The birthday girl of our group was served a large slice of tiramisu!! All the food was made to order and served hot an very good! Our waitress was very attentive.”
