I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food is absolutely fabulous especially their daily specials. Everything is always fresh and creative. It is a small restaurant - about 15 tables - so make a reservation if going during a busy time. They also have a carryout section where you can take home pastas, pizzas, salads and sandwiches. Even though there is a bar within the restaurant I've never noticed a problem with smoke or noise.
One thing they are limited on is parking space. The parking lot is quite small and do not make the mistake of parking in the 7-11 store parking lot as you will be towed. During the evening you can always park on the street or at the Metra train station which is just around the corner.
Pros: fabulous food, pleasant owners
Cons: limited parking, not open on Sunday, not much ambiance
