   It was our first time dining at this location. It was really dark, but the waiter brought us a table light so we could read the menu. It was impressive that we were able to carry on a conversation, even though the restaurant was lively and we were sitting near the bar. The food was very good, though some dishes, much better than others. The bruschetta didn’t really have much flavor, but the polenta and Ragu was outstanding. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful, with great personality! We will definitely return.

   I’ve been here a few times and I’m never disappointed. Food is good, service is friendly. The manager even let us taste a new bottle of wine they’re serving. One of our favorites in downtown Naperville.

   We ordered the beet salad which came out with just beets on a plate smeared with pistachio peanut butter and a little bit of cheese smeared to the side. And then we ordered the whipped ricotta which was fine, but nothing to write home about, and the cheese was a little bit bland. Then we order the orrichette with sausage and the orichrtte/pasta was underdone. You want an al dente pasta but not to this point. It was not easy to chew. And then we ordered the fish piccata which came out with some kind of a broth that we were not sure of because it did not look like a piccata. We actually asked the waiter if we ordered the right thing. And it was fine but again not what we were expecting to taste. There was no lemon forward and the capers just got lost in the broth sauce. I probably won’t return. It was extremely disappointing. The manager did comp us for the Question around the piccata which was nice and the service was excellent but again the food is what I’m looking for and it just was not good. It’s a shame because their sister restaurants are excellent!! Fat Rosies, Vasilis and Franchescas are some of my favorites!

   Great experience and great food! Many thanks to Salvador, who was our server. He gave friendly service and provided the food in a timely manner. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a great Italian dining experience.

   The first table the host took us to was a small table squeezed in between two other full tables. It is one of our least favorite places to be seated. We feel like there is no privacy and hard to enjoy our dinner. The host found another table for us, which was perfect. Our server Salvador was very attentive and offered suggestions. He was super friendly and made this visit very enjoyable. He was very conversational and asked what our plans were for the weekend. It was a little thing to ask, but I really appreciated him being genuine and engaging in friendly conversation.

   My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful meal on Saturday evening before a concert. Debra, our server, was the best! She was attentive without hovering over us. Additionally, she made sure we kept an eye on the time without pushing us out the door. We will be go back again and ask for Debra.

   This a very cozy place, almost like a neighborhood restaurant. The menu is not huge, but everything we’ve had, and we’re regulars, has been excellent. The service is prompt. Great place.
