Our Northern Italian
Family  Tradition
to Yours 
for over 95 years.
​Since 1923.
If you're looking for that special
 restaurant where you can take a few 
hours  and go back to a time when 
restaurants were not part of a chain 
and the owner became a friend, 
the  food was always great,  and as 
my grandmother said,
"You feel better for coming."  
Then you've found  the right spot.         

 If you enjoy fine wine,  you've found a new home.  Our cellar contains   some 4,000 choices
from the late 1800's.


Our Hours:
Open at 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday to Saturday
To reserve please call:
(847) 432-4608
Goodnight, Mr. Quackenbush, wherever you are.


We combine the classic Italian Menu and new creative dishes 
with full attention to both.

We invite you to come  and accept 
our family's warm Welcome. 

Opera 2023

It's getting to be that time of year.  Christmas Opera begins on Friday, December 1st, through Saturday, the 23rd.

We'll have three days with no performances...Monday and Tuesday the 4th and 5th, and Monday, the 11th.  
Dinner begins at 5:00 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. with the performance to follow.

Because of the short time frame between Thanksgiving and our first night, we will begin taking reservations for the first Week (Dec. 1 - Dec. 10) on
this Wednesday, the 15th.
As is our custom, all remaining reservations will be taken on Friday, the 24th, from 7:00 a.m.

We take all reservations in person or on the phone.  

We can't wait to see you all.
