  Came here for ladies night, they had $6 cocktails for ladies so I really enjoyed that.  
  
  Overall its a cool little place.  The music is a nice change.  Really enjoyed the seafood salad that they have.  My friend got the steak sandwich and it actually had a strip steak on it!

  Came here one late Sunday night around midnight looking for a bar with a friend.  When I pass this palce I usually see a few older gentlemen sipping coffee outside or watching soccer inside.
  
  0Main across the street was closed but this place looked open...completely empty but it was open.  I got the feeling that this was a place strictly for Europeans, Italian I think.  But the bartender was nice enough and had a "when in Rome" moment when we ordered glasses of Sambuca with the 3 coffee beans.  They were only like $5 too, try finding a shot of sambuca in the city for $5.
  
  I had a good time here, but that may be because we were the only ones there.  Can't imagine coming back here on a more crowded night being an English only speaker.      
  
  TL;DR
  -Cozy cafe atmosphere
  -Target clientele seems to be italian

  Good food and drinks, mostly eastern European crowd.  The weekends during the winter months are packed with people, with the occasional dj playing.  Good pub food but also has Italian appetizers and dishes.  It is a real European Coffee bar, with gelato, espresso, deserts, and also alcohol.   Breakfast is also served anytime.   The oweners Saverio and Juilia treat all their customers with respect.  There is also a small room for private parties available.  I like this place because the oweners take care of their customers.

  I really wasn't expecting much meeting up with an old friend here for lunch, but the fish sandwich was surprisingly good.  I thought that the order would come with fries or chips or something, but it seems to be something you have to order in addition to the special.  It's a small cozy spot where you can bring your pc and access wi-fi.  The service is a little lacking as we had to go up and actually ask for menus.  There is a child there that kept trying to interupt our conversation whining to have a bite of our food.  It was very strange.  The prices are affordable.  I wouldn't mind coming back again, but maybe pick it up and eat elsewhere.

  A little coffee place on irving park and oketo ave.  The coffee is great and very cheap.  A favorite of a few chicago mafioso types.  although they don't come to drink the coffee.  They have very good gelato.
