| - I think if you know what you're in for, you'll enjoy this place. Don't expect it to be the best Italian food ever. Don't expect super authentic. But to me, the food was tasty, the staff was nice, and the experience was enjoyable.
This place is TINY and the decor is kind of cheesy (like 99% of the Italian restaurants in America). The menu is big enough, good amount of variety. I got a side salad and it was lame but honestly, I've come to expect that of small restaruants (iceberg lettuce, whatever). We got some tasty rolls and butter with our dinner, though, and that was nice. I really liked my food (spinach ravioli with vodka sauce) and my boyfriend enjoyed his (shrimp ravioli, I think?). The price was reasonable, the service was fast. The desserts were good, too. Some of them are from a local dessert shop.
Overall, I won't go back here all the time or anything but I think it's a good Italian restaurant on the West side, when I don't feel like going out to Little Italy. It was cozy and friendly with decent food at a decent price. Don't go in expecting to be blown away. I think my expectations were low because most hole-in-the-wall Italian places are almost exactly like this place. That's not exactly a selling point but also shouldn't be held against it, if you ask me!
