A Critic Thinks a New West Loop Spot Strikes Sushi Gold | Eater Chicago

"I think this three-month-old Italian restaurant in Naperville has some kinks to work out: its dozens of dishes bring a certain sacrifice of focus and there are sloppy errors throughout. Porchetta was disappointingly dry and the swordfish yielded bone-dry, grainy-textured flesh. A dish that promised scallops, pork belly, lobster, and polenta was missing the swine while the lobster was overcooked and conspicuously meager. There is promise, though: the pizzas are terrific—airy and well-crisped—and the pastas are also good, especially the short-rib ravioli with black truffle and Gorgonzola in a Parmesan brodo. For dessert the very good gelati were served with pistachios, amarena cherries, and a pistachio tuille." - Jeffy Mai
