We’ve tried their Chicago style deep dish pizza a couple times as takeout and dined in earlier this year. Our dine-in experience was a mixed bag, overall the pizza is worth it but the other dishes were disappointing. The restaurant’s atmosphere is amazing and the service was friendly.
The good stuff:
We had a small deep dish Chicago style pizza and it was tasty and delicious as the takeout ones had been in the past too. It is very cheesy and indulgent. The presentation is also beautiful and definitely worth it having this at the restaurant!
It’s a beautiful restaurant and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s a popular spot, we showed up just as they opened and they filled up pretty fast!
They made a cocktail as non alcoholic version even though they don’t have it on their menu which is effort I always appreciate. The server also did give a heads up that the deep dish takes about 40 minutes to prepare and we received it about 35 minutes after ordering.
The not so good:
The Mediterranean salad was okay, the salad had large and uneven chucks of lettuce and peppers which just didn’t seem thoughtfully prepared. And besides feta crumble on the top, the ratio with rest of ingredients weren’t great.
We also had the Tortellini Alfredo and this was unfortunately the most disappointing dish. The tortellini filling was bland and the sauce tasted like a poorly prepared can of sauce, there’s no other way to describe it. We did mention this to our server and they did remove the dish from our bill, which we appreciated.
The Baked Rigatoni was okay, however, the mozzarella layer that should be done Al Forno style wasn’t properly baked and the dish just didn’t have much flavour.
The cappuccino machine wasn’t working and as a note, we had onions in our deep dish pizza and they weren’t fully cooked so perhaps not the best ingredient for this.
We would go back for the deep dish pizza and the atmosphere, the rest was unfortunately quite disappointing.
P.S. when they say their portions are huge, they mean it! We weren’t and ordered large entrees and they are big, especially if you add a salad. 😅
