“Superb dining experience”
This River North spot has been serving since 1941. The space is large and well-appointed, with handsome staff. Prices are reasonable for the area, and the food is incredible. The Italian sausage with peppers and fried calamari appetizers were both delicious. For the main course, I shared eggplant parmigiana, broiled salmon, and broiled lamb chops with clients. Everything was tasty and satisfying. I strongly recommend this place and plan to return.
