Linguine w/ clams... Way over the top with garlic. Probably used powder not fresh. Â Service was good. I find it incredible that with three groups of people they ask me if I have reservations? LOL!
Bakes lasagna was good. Lots of cheese.
Been here several times. I'm from Chicago and I'd consider it very inexpensive - however for the quality of food it's over priced.
As you walk up from the outside, the first thing you notice is the old-school super club sign hanging outside. Â When you walk in, you realize it's no joke. This place is the epitome of old school Italian supper clubs, complete with wood paneling, dark lighting and people sitting at small tables all clustered together in a room that seems to be built around the bar.
We made reservations for 7:30, but were not seated until 7:50. Â The bread is delicious with sesame seeds on the crust. Â The house salad is marginal because they use ice berg lettuce. Â Most restaurants worth their salt have switched to field greens, spring mix, arugula or Boston Bibb these days. Ice berg is something you get at a fast food joint, cafeteria or a truck stop diner, not a restaurant like this.
The chicken parm was pretty decent with gooey globs of melted cheese and plenty of marinara to go around. Â Our server was adorable, friendly and good at being attentive to us. Â It wasn't a bad meal, just not what we had expected. Â For the old-school Italian theme to play out across the whole evening, we really would have expected more of a home-made taste, white table cloth, candles, Italian music playing in the background, olive oil and grated parmesan on the table, etc.
