Cute little family owned and operated Italian spot in Roscoe Village! Our server Kevin was very friendly and attentive, he took great care of us! Don't miss out on the garlic cheese bread as a starter. We decided to split the chicken Parmesan and a side of meatballs. Good portions. I loved our main dish but I think next time I will create my own pasta dish - I'd love to try their pesto. We will absolutely be back for more pasta and dessert! Oh and it's BYOB!

This was so amazing. Go here!! The pasta was all perfectly cooked. The spicy things were spicy, the sauce was fantastic. The vegetables were fresh. It was possibly the best fettuccine Alfredo I've ever eaten - even the perfect amount of black pepper. Cute little space, candles on the tables and a nice atmosphere. We had our kid, but I would definitely consider this a date night place. It's BYOB! Thursday night they had lots of tables open, but they were doing a brisk takeout business.

If the Location makes you feel skeptical, I wouldn't doubt you. Nestled near Tony's (great for late nite Tacos), you wouldnt expect much.Walk in and you feel like you have walked into someone's house. Not intrigued yet. Hold on....You have a seat, and you are suddenly embraced by the warmth of the wait staff. It feels authentically American-Italian. While the skeptic in you sips a glass of water, the mild aroma of clean flavors and a nifty peak into the adjacent table will force you to give the place a chance. I am not usually a fan of an Alfredo. And I remain constantly wary of the Vodka sauce. However, Call it Devine intervention or my innate niche of looking at food leaving the kitchen and connecting to the names on the menu, The Vodka sauce calls out to me. I order it.The food arrives and i must say it was rather comforting. It could have been the cold Chicago weather, or the trio of Tomato, cream and Vodka. It was just perfect. Is it authentically Italian? May be, Maybe not. I am no connoisseur.It tastes good. The garlic bread may need a bit of work, but the pastas are comforting. Including the Alfredo fettuccine my wife ordered.That's what you want when you got for Italian. Enough food to make you sluggish with Just Enough garlic to spook a Vampire. End it with some wine and a Tiramisu and you have a pretty good date night. Ya, It isn't fancy, but its comforting and I love it.Do check it out.

Ordered the Caprese and Rigatoni alla Grassa, loved them both. I ordered my meal via DoorDash and it was all fresh. I definitely want to dine here at some point soon. Wish the salad was a little bigger because I'm obsessed. Thanks for a great meal.

What a cute little neighborhood place! Service was excellent, interior decor could use a little bit of romancing very basic. The food was excellent. Salads were big and delicious and fresh. My pasta was a little salty so next time I go, I'm gonna ask them easy salt. Dessert was a lovely tiramisu. Price points were good for the neighborhood BYOB people! Loved bringing our big bottle of yummy Red blend. with us. Highly recommend.

Ordered Pasta Al Gusto for delivery via GrubHub. The flavors were all solid. However, some dishes were better than others based on delivery time.The cranberry goat cheese salad was delicious. It was hard to break up the goat cheese, so would have loved smaller crumbles vs. large hunks, but fine.Rotini al Gusto was solid. Tasty sauce, good texture, good ratio of ingredients.The Caprese Panino left much to be desired as a delivery meal. While the ingredients and combo were tasty, the bottom of the panini was completely soggy. I had to remove the bottom bread and eat from the top as an open faced sandwich. The fries were fine, but as a personal preference, I prefer standard fries vs. battered.Overall, decent food, but know that delivery suffers compared to an in person dining experience. (Someday!)

Two out of three times that I've tried to order in the past six months they have canceled my order after confirming it with door dash. Yes, I'm ordering near the end of the delivery window (5 min before the window closes) but if you can't manage orders within that window, adjust it so that it closes earlier than the restaurant like many places do.

Dining in is always a quiet, cozy and lovely experience. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. We have been dining and ordering carryout from this restaurant for a few years now.We came in for a Friday night dinner and had a wonderful meal. Unfortunately, there was another group of 2 who also came in and behaved in a very entitled and rude manner. The BYOB policy is posted on the front door of the restaurant, you cannot walk in without seeing it. Yet when they were reminded of the policy, they demanded to speak to the manager and then with the owner and threatened to leave a bad yelp review if they didn't get their way. The staff explained the policy several times but the couple continued to argue that they wanted to speak to someone else, were very disappointed, wouldn't be coming back and were going to leave a "scathing Yelp review". I found this behavior to be extremely entitled and it saddens me that people who don't get their way would try to hurt a small family business with a bad review because of their inability to read or take no for an answer. The restaurant did nothing wrong and the staff remained calm despite ridiculous demands for things like a funnel to get back the wine they had already poured out. We were the other couple in the restaurant, we felt this behavior only reflected badly on those 2 people and are sorry the staff had to deal with such an unpleasant scene. The staff apologized to us for the incident, though we assured them they had nothing to apologize for. We will of course continue to dine and order here and hope that the neighborhood will support such a great little spot. The economy is very difficult for everyone right now, so it is more important than ever to support our neighborhood gems and treat each other with dignity and respect. Nobody is above anyone else and nobody deserves to be talked down to or threatened in the way this couple spoke to restaurant staff. Nobody is entitled to force a business to bend their posted rules for them.We hope people will give this place a chance
