| - Found this place while walking in Yorkville on a drizzly, mild Monday around noon. Skimmed the menu outside and the $18.95 lunch specials looked good, so my partner and I decided to check it out. Nice romantic, cozy atmosphere, with a few separate rooms, traditional Italian decor, many tables, a wine cellar, and private bathrooms decorated the same as the dining areas. Photos of the chef with many celebrities who have dined here is a fun touch. (although somewhat common in the neighborhood). The restaurant itself is on the lower level of the street, down a few steps, and I am not sure if there is a ramp for accessibility. We were greeted right away by a friendly male server who was prompt throughout the meal, friendly without being too chatty. The Caesar salads were good (without bacon) and the pesto fusilli was delicious. We both had the same dishes as the lunch special, but I'd love to go back and try a few of their other choices. Their regular menu looks great too, with tons of italian choices, and a huge wine selection. I'd love to come back here.
