The food here is definitely the best Italian in the area. It's incredibly fresh and authentic. I've tried the appetizer rice balls, pasta, Tuscan salad, lamb chops and multiple desserts and they are all wonderful!
Additionally, the service is wonderful! The servers are very knowledgeable of the menu and constantly refill drinks and make sure everything is good.
The ambiance is also wonderful- very pretty on the inside and the outside.
The prices are higher then typical Champaign restaurants, but the quality of the food and the great experience is worth it. I would definitely recommend coming here for special occasions!
