This was quite the pleasant suprise. When you think of dining in the Yorkville area, you would tend to imagine expensive, classy restaurants, that are delicious but not very affordable. We walked into this restaurant, saw a man playing the piano and singing at the back and wondered, "I wonder how much this meal is going to cost?" After the waiter presented the menu to us... we were all utterly shocked... the prices were VERY reasonable! In fact, pricing was comparable to restaurants such as Alice Fazooli's? Yup, suprise suprise! So we thought the portions would probably be very small and were again wrong!

This is an excellent choice if you are planning to head out to a party after as the restaurant is open late. The ambience is certainly great for dates too! I recommend going on weekends. I am not sure if there is live music on weekdays but it definately adds to the experience. The restaurant also serves risotto which is made fresh on the spot so it takes about 40 minutes! Something to keep in mind if you are in a rush.
