Massive portions . I had the pappardelle con porcini and it was so creamy and tasty - still thinking about it! Fresh mozzarella on the bruschetta was heavenly. Service was fantastic - very attentive!

Beautiful, delicious Italian food in a cozy Ravenswood storefront. Anything on the menu is great and there are always specials which are even better. Plus BYOB .

Charlie Tiller

We each had one of their specials. I had penne with Italian sausage & meatballs & it was delicious. My wife had rigatoni with chicken parm & it was awesome too.

Seth Putnam

To start: the bruschetta (the best I've ever had). For the main, the pasta is molto bene. Portions are huge, so feel to share. Best part: BYOB , no corking fee .

Time Out Chicago

The deep-red walls and friendly service make this charming Ravenswood spot as warm as the food. And because it’s BYOB , it’s hard to beat the value. Read more

Really great food but for how much your paying the waiter needs to be a little nicer/friendlier.
