Eat upstairs for lunch in the bar . Vinny is a trip. If you have time, get the Caesar salad made tableside. Excellent. The meatballs here are the best in the city . Very good thin crust pizza .

There were 3 different types of pasta in my lasagna - all handmade and delicious. Great service too, and big plus for classy semi booths .

Great atmosphere. Semi-private booth and food was amazing. Really family friendly with tons of kids there but well-behaved. Service is phenomenal. Wine list is extensive. Prices are reasonable.

The atmosphere here is great. The place is decorated to actually look like a mini village . It’s super cute !

Lane Pelovsky

Love the atmosphere and private booths ! Get the Chicken Parm . Be careful not to go to Vivere restaurant downstairs on accident, the Village is upstairs. Great for a date!

Elizabeth Ladin-Gross

We love this place! You must eat upstairs feels like a summer day in Italy! The chicken Marsala , the Alfredo and the tiramisu are the best of any Italian place we have ever been.

A. David Vasquez

With three different restaurants to serve you, you should always be able to find a table. Personal favorite: Linguine con frutti di mare ! Valet parking is available. Catching a show nearby? Eat here!

The food is to die for. If I lived in Chicago, I would be a regular. Try and sit at one of the booths when you visit. Lovely decor

The lasagna and the spaghetti with meat sauce are great! Don't forget to add mozzarella !

The Cobb salad was excellent. Also the lunch portion ravioli with meat sauce is seasoned well .

If you get the lasagne , poke a few holes in the top to make it cool off a little quicker.

Simply wonderful-you will not be disappointed

Lucy Lou

Catch Vinnie at the bar upstairs. Rated R kinda fun.

Rae????????

EXPENSIVE, unlike what the reviews online say. But don't get me wrong the food is great!

Lori Redding

Oh my word...gat did they do, pay people to leave positive tips? The food was subpar..the service subpar...the decorations circa 1970s. Chef Ramsey w Kitchen Nightnares would have a field day. Ugh.

András Kerekes

Homemade cheesecake is delicious

Maggie Kaderbek

Free pizza on the top floor from 4-6 mon-fri. Holla

Mollie Messuri

Their desserts are pretty much a taste of heaven to say the least.
