The bread alone is worth going; great service, atmosphere and skilled bartenders make you want to come back again and again as a local joint.
Italian food is decent... large portions. Â
Went for eaarly dinner on New Years Eve, they really went all out... they do have a special package, but we just wanted to grab dinner. Â Wait staff and Manager are tremendous!
The absolute worst Italian lunch we have just had. The lunch for 5 people came to a little over 87.00. And here is what we recieved:
Burnt fries,so bad they were hollow and awful burgers , bad meat, and definitely NOT a half pounder as they claim , Mcdonalds would be superior compared to this poor excuse for food!!! Soggy old salad, yesterday's bread, three pats of butter for 9 slices, pasta with a tasteless greasy bolognese sauce with barely any meat, underdone penne pasta soaking wet. no grated cheese, no red pepper, and an extremely uninformed staff..all this for a mere 87.00...WOW!!!, hold me back..I would not recommend this place to an enemy, let alone a friend. To have to endure such slop is not only disgusting, but it is rude...especially with the favorable reputation this bucktown eatery has.They will definitely NOT be on my short list, I will endeavor to inform all my bucktown nieghboors what an awful lunch experience this has been, and we definitely WILL NOT be entertaining any clients there! I live and work in Bucktown , and entertain 6 nights a week, and trust me...I would rather starve then even consider visiting this miserablke excuse for a restaurant ever again.
