Order the olive-oil-poached halibut (Brussels sprouts , wild mushrooms , macadamia nuts ) before hitting the downstairs bar with its 100-strong wine collection and spicily-sauced meatballs . Read more
Cocktails are really solid. We enjoyed the porcini mushroom risotto and the asparagus (tasted great even though it's out of season). Osso Bucco only served Sundays, would like to go back for it.
Get the Rapido. Side salad , Arctic char and a mini dessert ? Perfect - throw in a five dollar side of perfectly roasted rosemary fingerlings, and it's perfect+
The pizza is good, you should try the contadina and have the Kentucky bambini (bourbon ) or la basilica (vodka ) both served on crushed ice ...service is great and the decor is cool
Cocktail ? Go "La Basilica ". Beautiful environment, and excellent management both downstairs (at the bar ), and upstairs (at the restaurant ). Great spot for an intimate date.
lost somewhere at sea (don q spice, diplomatico 12, plantation pineapple , carpano antica, espresso bean infused cointreau , smoke)
meatballs pomodoro grass fed beef , berkshire pork , pomodoro , parmigiano reggiano , foccacia )
So Mom's not the buffet type? Don't sweat it. This a la carte brunch menu brunch has eggs Benedict Florentine, grilled lamb chops and mascarpone cheesecake .
They have a great collection of whiskey . Order anything from on the rocks to with your favorite mixer.
Really nice bartenders . Save for the arugula (I don't like the bitterness), great carpaccio with capers .
Have a Windy City Wheat, or Argus Holsteiner Lager here. Yes, it's pricey . But the entire neighborhood is.
Beautiful mosaic tile floor. Lights in the tables are a cool touch.
Very nice place and very good food. I'll come back again😊
Good drinks, limited but excellent menu
Penny Pollack says, "I suspect the veal loin wrapped in bacon sat under a heat lamp and toughened a bit, but flavor was spot-on."

Not the service. We had buffet tickets and was told it was open till 11. At 10:33 we seat our selves was no host. Then we tell them here for the buffet infront of us he says sorry closed at 10:30.
Intimate atmosphere, great cocktails .
The pancakes and bacon are so delicious ! ❤
Easy, friendly , fun and good food!
Try the Cosmopolitano martini . Not too strong, just right after long day at the office . Yum yum!
Works for us!
The Misticanza salad was awesome. But it cannot cover up how much the service sucks. I should ask for the check. This empty salad bowl has been here for 10 minutes.
Food is good. Hotel prices. Service is great but slow - not a place to go if you’re in a rush.
After many many months, they have finally perfected the Filini pizza .
The raspberry sorbet is amazing!
Try the Pasta with lamb ragu
Strong cocktails , go for a Manhattan .
Best mojito of my life
Atmosphere is great, however, food is hit and miss. Have drinks here, appetizers/dinner elsewhere.
Brazing & lamb chop
Expensive but good drinks
Try the Prosciutto di Parma
Try the veal vitello
Bring your big boy credit card.
Try the Gamberoni
nice environment
Try the Ahi tuna
So far the service here sucks. No bread has been offered and they just brought me something I did not order. Server put in wrong order.
Service is completely awful.
Si te gusta el vodka pide el coctail el Angelo, muy rico!
Carte extrêmement réduite le samedi et le dimanche midi. Très dommage.
Just past the Martini Bar and up the stairs! - Sarah Beth
The Wed special sandwich is especially delish- roast beef and gouda - yum! - Kathy
Beef Carpaccio (black truffle aioli, fresh arugula, pickled red onion, carta di musica (sardinian flat bread)) - ISC Chicago
Dig the salad bar. Good price. And dolmatas, beets, pineapple, cantaloupe consistently. Great selection for custom six pack of beer - Chirag Patel
