We have been dining here for quite a few years now. It has consistently good food. The pizza is fantastic. They don't have an increased topping charge for "gourmet" toppings like basil. I find that annoying at other restaurants. They do not skimp on toppings either. I ordered basil and got plenty of it. Not just a few pieces strewn about.
We have always enjoyed our meals here. The salmon tasted fresh and the pasta is very good. They have specials and change up the menu on occasion. The service is always great. Everyone there seems happy to serve you, not just doing their job.
We have had them cater a lunch for about 50 people at work and they did an excellent job. They accommodated for a special diet restriction without reservation.
It is not fair to compare this place to an Italian restaurant in Chicago or any other big city. If you want Chicago Italian food, go to Chicago.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to eat with good service.
