Holly S.Holly Shuman: The braised beef short rib dish was pretty good, just too salty. The menu is a little deceiving. The prices for pasta dishes are for a small plate, not an entree. The ambiance is nice.

Merly p.Merly payne: Everyone is right about the gnocchi. Even if you don't like gnocchi, GET THE GNOCCHI. Also our service was fantastic. It is a slow-paced place - but in my view, this is a plus...relax and enjoy.

Chicago magazineChicago magazine: The delicate gnocchi with crisp sage and brown butter sauce are knockout, as are the lusty horseradish-revved short ribs.

CRUZiiiECRUZiiiE: Get the "pepito" torta (braised beef) if you're a savory eater like myself! So good. But skip the guac... Even with toppings bar it was average at best.

Scott R.Scott Rose: Tortas are great - particularly the cubano - but everyone there worships the corn chowder. Good cocktail program.

Autumn K.Autumn Kelley: My salad showed up in less than 10 minutes. My margarita is strong. The people who work here are clearly taken care of and happy. Not your typical miserable airport experience.
