"This old-school Italian haunt in Wash Park (which now has a sibling in MacGregor Square) has been serving up family-style portions of red-sauce classics since long before it was cool — 1994, to be exact. Prepare to be plied with the large-format works: antipasti misti, sausage and peppers, chicken piccata, eggplant parmigiana, baked ziti, and other classics." - Ruth Tobias
