Our Northern Italian
Family  Tradition
to Yours 
for over 100 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. 

We have music each Wednesday beginning at 6:30. Carl Noble
Roger Risher
and more.​

New menu items and, thank heaven, finally the ability to lower many menu prices.
