Our food is Italian-inspired and chef-driven. From snacks and bites to easy-to-share entrees, journey through our frequently updated menu for dinner or share just a few smaller options over drinks.
“Absolute BEST place to go with friends! Unbelievable staff, vibe, food, and cocktails. Wine Wednesdays are a blast. Amazing happy hour deals. Perfect place for drinks and dinner in the loop. Conveniently located for any show downtown. Arancini are a must!”
“Great restaurant that has immaculate vibes and it’s super low-key and chill with a disco vibe. The cocktails are really great and the staff are chill and friendly. I recommend this bar if you are in the loop area I’m looking for a “if you know, you know” type of vibe in an underground bar.”
“Hidden gem in the loop!!! Perfect spot to grab a bite/drink before a shot or for a girls night/date night. We came here before a broadway shot at CIBC Theatre and had the best pre-show meal. Dougie our server was fabulous and honestly felt like I was hanging with an old friend. The truffle fries, arancini, kale csesar, and Roma norts rigatoni were all delish! Will definitely be back soon!”
“I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service, it was busy so the servers were busy but still efficient and hospitable. The only thing that was off was the chilean sea bass was under cooked. Other than that the meal was delicious. The gnocchi was the star and if would've been chefs kiss had it gotten a little bit more of those blistered tomatoes. I definitely will be going back.”
“It's a fun experience. The bar is located downstairs and it's a long narrow basement. It's well decorated and fun lights make the atmosphere great for a bar. The staff were very friendly. The food was ok. The fries are tasty. The focaccia was alright, not the best. The drinks are fun.”
