TLDR: Lunch and dinner only; traditional decor; excellent service; not quick service
If you love traditional Chicago-style dining or you want an off-the-Strip date night, come to this place. On both occasions which I enjoyed eating at this location, service was very good. We sat by the fireplace and enjoyed the traditional decorations. Drinks and bread was refilled timely and without delay. On this most recent time, I went for lunch around 11ish AM when they opened and customers were already seated inside. I asked for the whole wheat pasta with white clam sauce. It was $10.50, and was the median price for the lunch menu. I recommend coming to lunch to keep the wallet somewhat full. I opted for the $2 add-on for the salad with the creamy garlic dressing. If you're looking to avoid carbs, opt-out of this dressing. The food took approximately (20-25) minutes to arrive, a much longer time than expected. The noodles were slightly more cooked than al dente and the sauce was at the appropriate temperature. I wouldn't recommend getting this dish again, but I do want to try their marinara sauce. It's a sure-fire way to judge the basis of any Italian-style restaurant. I had the house wine on the previous visit, and $18.50 for a carafe of darker red wine seems like a good deal. Just hope it's not franzia.
