Time Out Chicago: Try the ricotta and honeycomb from our 100 Best list: This ricotta is richer and smoother than we could have imagined (it’s whipped with olive oil), paired with sweet honeycomb and grilled bread.
Ronald Vieira: Very delicious tapas and excellent wine pairing. Peperonata, Kale-Walnut Pesto, and eggplant prosciutto balls were delicious!!!
Time Out Chicago: Old World wine list and Mediterranean small plates: Scott Harris has nailed the formula at Purple Pig and Davanti Enoteca, so why mess with a good thing? Read more.

Italian Restaurant · Near North Side · 4 tips and reviews
Christopher Floss: Authentic #italian #pasta. Try the penne with melanzane and pomodoro. Pollo for a secondo is also an awesome choice. Great wine options by the glass, both red and white, all Italian.
Kelly: Good food prepared in a totally open kitchen with bar seating and fast, friendly service.
Stacy Bo Bacy: Food is so, so good here. Especially enjoyed the meatballs. You can get reservations online through OpenTable.
O. K.: The beef Carpaccio and the pastas are always a delight, and everything else is absolutely delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago.
Stephen Lawrence: Get the fried calamari, frutti de mare and of course the tiramisu!!!!
Time Out Chicago: The toughest part of Mom's brunch here will be choosing between the smoked salmon omelette, the eggs Benedict and the fried eggs with spicy pesto.
