“I had an awesome experience. Loved the Rigatoni Vodka Pasta with Grilled Chicken.”
“We managed to book a table through the OpenTable app for Monday at around 3:00 p.m. We ordered three pizzas: Charred Pepperoni, Black Truffle, and Italian Sausage. All of them were absolutely delicious—the Google reviews definitely don’t lie. This is a place well worth visiting during a trip to Chicago. The service was excellent, and we were lucky enough to get a table with a beautiful view of the Chicago River.”
“Keith had the best recommendations and we loved everything!”
“Every single thing was delicious. The Parmesan fries were so crispy and so good! My mom loved them. It was a little cold on the patio. Not sure the heaters were working. Great service though as usual.”
“So good! My friends and I went here just for a little girls night and the food was so good! We had old fashioneds, vodka rigatoni, caramel apple sundae and the warm Nutella cookie and everything was awesome. But above all CODY (with a d) was so great! He was so nice and laughed at our silliness and even sent us a firework dessert! Not to mention the gorgeous setting along the river! A must try in river north!”
