text: The greatest thing about this place is the entrance through the front door Past that everything goes downhill I get that this place is trying to go for the Italian Mafia pseudo rude Chicago hard ass mentality but the people are just not hospitable When greeted at the host stand they made me sit like a leper on these gross banquet chairs to wait for my table rather than invite me to sit at the empty bar and grab a drink The ambiance is kind of interesting but when you actually look at what is going on you realize that the lights are just turned completely off Its almost pitch black There Is kind of a cool lounge singer that plays piano and does Frank Sinatra songs but hes not very good and it gets really annoying after songs nThe food is the worst part about this place Its just downright bad Its one thing if the place was super cheap and not TRYING to be a nice restaurant Its not exactly cheap I had a dry crusty meatball appetizer a boring caesar salad and a completely tasteless eggplant parm While I was eating my eggplant park i was legitimately thinking how i would have rather gone down the street to trader joes and eaten the microwaveable eggplant parm that they have for nThe service is bad to average but i think that part of it simply has to do with how dark this place is Noone can see anything Our waitress asked us for our drink order without bringing over a drink menu And she never came back to ask if we wanted a second drinknI just think this place tried to focus on the gimmick too much and is not understanding that they need to provide an actual dining experience
