Courtney Wolfe: Start with the shumai as an appetizer, it's to die for. Also, the tuna salad with pepper tuna and wasabi cream sauce is great.
Tim Cullen: Crazy tuna roll, spicy tuna, mountain roll
Tim Cullen: Mountain man and pop up are outstanding. Volcano boston and crazy tuna is ok

Jon B.: The sesame tuna was excellent. Pastas were fresh and home made. Great little neighborhood trattoria.
Chicago magazine: Pastas are a must, notably the veal ravioli with creamy porcini meat sauce and spaghetti chitarra carbonara. Save room for panna cotta with passion fruit coulis. Fairly priced Italian wines. Read more.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector

Kayleigh Giorgio: Although I hear the menu will soon be changing, the tuna sashimi and korokke with whipped avocado is absolutely delicious. Also, try an "Old Money" cocktail. My favourite on the cocktail menu!
Samuel Giddins: The tasting menu was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Definitely worth going to for a special occasion.

Brian Brown: The Miami roll is amazing! My fiancé and I each get one every time we are here!
Jennifer Straub: I have yet to find a better sushi place in Chicago. The rolls are reasonably priced and delicious. If you're feeling up for it, the Miami roll is my favorite. The place is BYOB so bring a bottle!

Jacob Du Plessis: Lovely old-time gem in a neighborhood that is changing fast and that can easily be missed.
Sara: Jamaican Latte- not too sweet and just the right amount of spice :-) Sitting in the outside cafe area reminded me of the Parisian coffee shops. Lavender cookie- for an adventurous taste palette.
bridget dickey: my favorite coffee joint in all of chicago. love the low lighting, the staff & the tasty drinks!
