Just had a private birthday party there. As usual, food and staff were amazing. We went with family style and we ended up taking some food home. Have been to this restaurant for dinner many times and now I know they do parties well too.

Yesterday's early 'al fresco' food intake was perfect! My sweet wife and I first shared a charcuterie-like start with two yummy salumi (try the Coppa) and two cheeses that were new to us, one was like a blue cheese, the other soft and creamy. Look on the back of the menu, where you can make choices from about four meats and four cheeses. The crackers had slight XVOO drizzle and looked like toasted ravioli, but a more delicate texture...delicious! We could have stopped there and been utterly satisfied! But, no... Next, FOCACCI DI RECCO ligurian flatbread + soft cow's cheese + honeycomb was warm and utterly delicious, though more honey would have been nice. And I am certain that Sophia, our wonderfully attentive server would have provided, but I didn't think to ask. We had this with Calamari Fritti and tiny cherry peppers, which gave it a teensy zip. Took some calmari and ligurian flatbread with cow cheese home. I suspected a midnight raid, but I was too lazy to get out of bed! The mixture of sun/shade, tasty food, my wife's smile, her perfect Negroni and my cold beer, Peroni, and Sophia's timely service, all made for a true Saturday treat...Dang, I should have shot some photos, but I was too 'in the moment' to focus on Yelp reviews. Just go there, to see what I mean. I doubt you'd be disappointed. We certainly were not disappointed. A five star experience we truly enjoyed!!!

We have always been a fan. Prior to the moving to the suburbs, we were frequent visitors of the River North and University Village locations until they closed. Now the Western Springs location is our main go-to and there are several items that we repeatedly order: 1) Davanti Burger with the bacon jam and cheese curd 2) Focaccia di recco with the soft cow's cheese and honeycomb 3) Della terra pizza with braised leeks, truffle oil, and a variety of mushrooms 4) Truffle egg toast with the cremini mushrooms and truffle oil Without going into detail, we have also tried most the pasta dishes. Safe to say, there is not a single complaint.

Right on a busy intersection. The servers are always great. The food is really good. They have a lot of outdoor seating in the warm weather. Place is clean. It's a little on the dark side (some may call that romantic), but not a negative for me. It seems a little small but they have easily sat my group of ten more than once. My wife just craves this place from time to time.

Good food, good service, nice wine selection. We ordered a lot of the small plates and really enjoyed everything. Meatballs, Brussel sprouts and whipped ricotta and honey were my favs!
