Best Casual Restaurants in South Side

The table bread is a must. The Cacio e Pepe pillows (so fluffy) and Rigatoni (just a little spicy in a good way) were delicious! Fried potatoes and delicate squash were excellent. Roasted chicken was just a little crispy and so flavorful. Soppressata pizza was sweet and salty. So good. Can’t wait for leftovers. Tossed salad was just ok IMO.

Making the reservation was easy and we were seated right away when we arrived. It took a little bit for a server to come at first but the food arrived very soon after we ordered. My salmon was hot and very delicious. My husband had the chicken Parmesan which he said was good but a little cold. I also had the French Alexander drink which was very good! Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience.

The experience was sublime. Lauren the manager, the hosts and bartender slash server Megan…all professional and thoughtful. The food was remarkable and the suggestions were well described. The kitchen delivered! Short Rib Hummus, the Wild Mexican Prawns and the Whole Branzino…my thumbs would fall off because of how much I’d like to say. We ordered two cocktails, whiskey & bourbon based, as well as red wine. The wine selection is comprehensive. I will be returning soon!

Great service, great food, great drinks! Our server made some great nigiri selections for us to pair with our rolls, as well as tons of knowledge and suggestions on the drinks based on our tastes. Made our work holiday dinner a huge success!

One of the best meals I've ever had. I ordered the duck as my main entree which was outstanding. The starter and appetizer was so delicious and creative I wanted another. The dessert was a perfect finish to the meal. I can't give enough stars for this meal.
