Just wanted to give a shout out to Joseph Tambellini's in Highland Park for helping me have the perfect birthday last Friday. I would describe it as comfortable upscale. We reserved the 3rd floor which they call The Lodge. There were just ten of us ladies but it could have seated double. It was private and cozy. Our server was Erin (not sure of spelling). She was friendly, timely and patient. As I said it was on the 3rd floor so up and down she went. We had zucchini, meatballs, salad, pasta, filet, crab cakes. Everything was delicious, fresh and authentic. No Olive Garden here. No sir. This is the real thing. Price is worth it. You'll see why when you get there. Just get there.
