Located across the street from Steppenwolf, and had dinner here before seeing a show in February. Our warm and friendly server made sure that we got through our meal with time to spare even though we arrived late for our reservation because of traffic. The food was out of this world. I had the gnocchi stuffed with ricotta cheese and every bite was heaven. The fried calamari, which we had as an appetizer, was lightly coated in batter and so tender. We really feel as if we stumbled on a gem, and look forward to more dinners here.
