Had a nice dinner here a few weeks back after doing some work in the area! Everything I had was excellent and would 100% get again. Highly recommend the Burrata and the lobster ravioli *chef’s kiss*. If you’re in the area and looking for some Italian, look no further! Look forward to coming back and trying some of their other items.

This is my favorite Italy restaurant in Hyde Park and I strongly recommend it to all my friends. It’s so convenient to walk or drive there. You can park your car in the lot besides Trader Joes. We always like the noodles and burgers. Today’s lobster pasta and Chicken burger are pretty good. My husband’s favorite is the Italian chips that’s combined with the burger. The bartender is a really handsome and kind young guy. The service is always welcome and the vibe is chill. Remember to reserve, otherwise you may only have the bar seat or the outdoor seats.

Updating my review as I've finally had the chance to dine in person! There is no reason you shouldn't eat here. Each part of every dish has a reason for being on the plate. My server Toni was great. He checked in with me throughout every course, helped me decide between sides as well as my drink. I ordered the San Daniele Prosciutto & Burrata (MP 24 as of 5/21/25) the Burrata was not as runny/creamy as I expected, but still delicious. The balsamic reduction and pomegranate seeds cut through the fatty cheese and "dry" prosciutto, and the arugula tied it all together. The Passion Mule was sweet, fruity, with an undertone of citrus. The Branzino (MP 38 as of 5/21/25) was spectacular. I will never ever order Branzino from anywhere else. It was tender, with perfectly crisp skin and accompanied by a butter lemon sauce (if it was darker I'd think it was hollandaise) and sauteed garlic spinach. The Italian parsley and tomatoes balance the decadent flavors perfectly. I'm not even a fan of tomatoes but I found myself scooping some into every bite. The Arancini di Ascione was earthy with a pronounced truffle flavor. I will definitely be returning. Be advised, there is a slight surcharge for using card as well as an additional 3% that can be removed upon request. Original review from 4 years ago: I had the Pappardelle Al Sugo Di Cinghiale. Doordash delivered the wrong order and wouldn't amend so they took care of it themselves! The sauce was very rich and creamy but it wasn't overbearingly so. I could have used a little bit more salt to bring out the flavors of the meat more but it was still good. The pasta noodles had a nice texture and bite to them they weren't overly mushy or overly hard. The mushrooms were also soft and tender.

Their Italian fries are the best we've ever tried - always seasoned well and cooked just right. The burger and chicken sandwich were also good. The pancakes were not too sweet which was great. The service is also pretty quick. Only complaint is about the coffee. We've been here a few times - sometimes they refill the coffee, sometimes they don't. So I'm not sure if they just ignored us during the other times.

soooo tasty. Opted to try the Valentines pre fixe for two and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Steak was juicy and rich, and the creme brulee was some of the best I’ve ever had. This is a hidden gem!

I loved this food the octopus was amazing and the oisters and clams they were fantastic. Our server Miki made sure we had a great experience. My auntie and sister from church loved the pork chops and mashed potatoes.

Everything was really good today. It was a great day to eat outside. Service was very good with marie. My spaghetti was so amazing, affogato dessert was good, too. The flourless cake is pretty addictive.
