    My friend and I had a fantastic experience at Daisies last night! I moved to Logan Square about four months ago and this restaurant came highly recommended by so many. The ravioli and the rigatoni were absolutely divine! So wonderful to have this gem just a few blocks away. Highly recommend!

    I was looking forward to the squash ravioli, but unfortunately it was so sweet it should have been a dessert. I also didn't care for the cubed pieces of squash in the sauce, but that's a personal preference. The steak tartar was more veg than steak, which I found weird However, I still love this restaurant and will continue to go back as most everything on the menu is outstanding and they mix a good drink. I'll just avoid these two things in the future.
