Reliable and reasonably priced late-night Italian spot in the heart Oak Lawn night life. Perfect place for those staying up late, hungry from partying, or getting off work. I appreciate this restaurant's willingness to serve delicious, hot, and EXPRESS food to hungry customers in the wee hours of the morning. This place always seems busy but not too busy that it impacts efficiency. I've always gotten my in-house/to-go orders within 15-20min. If you only order pizza, the service is even faster (5min). The staff is friendly and willing to customize my orders (like the time I asked to change the type of pasta in my primavera). There's a also variety of pizzas up for grabs, and the cakes are quite moist (carrot cake, yum).
My go-to order includes pasta primavera (substituted with angel hair and chicken), calamari (could be slightly more salted), a pizza (customized, supreme, and/or chicken and bacon), and carrot cake. I think some people don't love that the pizza is sitting outside (maybe not for long because this place is so popular?), but it still does the job. The pasta also might not be homemade, but it's great for late-night!
Ambiance - simple and functional with many chairs and tables (for all the people that need this for a night out on the town).
Service - friendly, efficient. There's one staff member (who's really nice and well-meaning) but often calls me "love" which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. I think it's mainly the word choice but not trying to cancel anyone here!
Parking - limited to the street parking or the nearby lot behind Hunky's burgers. I've never really had an issue running in to pick up my order. If you're already out drinking and need something to help soak up that alcohol (aka not driving) then this is a perfect place.
