My experience both recent and historic is less than favorable albeit memorable. my friend and I had reason for celebration and thought that perhaps the only Italian restaurant in the neighborhood had improved over the years. Ever the optomist I thought I would give it a try.
Optimism in this ...
Worst experience of my life! The food was not fresh and tasted bad. The owner started yelling at me and told me never to come back. Wow, that's great service!
This place was just AWFUL. My husband and I chose what they call 'The Feast' which is their all you can eat option.
1. They bring you Pao de Queso (Cheese Bread). Our was cold and hard.
2. Then they bring you pasta covered in three different sauces; garlic, marinara, and mushroom. Again, we got ...
On Friday Apr. 7 a colleague and I looked for a restaurant where we can sit outside.
We found the Cornelias Restaurant located on Cornelia and Halsted.
So, please take it as a kind of warning. If you are hungry and you think a Dinner for two which contains one Salad as the starter for both of us,...

The bathrooms stink like human excrement. If you want to see who is handling your food watch the owner let in the homeless drunks at 4...

The days of Tech-bubble millionaires smoking big fat stogies,talking too loud, and acting like jerks are long gone. Thank the Lord...
Recently a dear friend visited us from Sienna in Tuscany. I thought it might be fun to show him our local take on his country's cuisine. We first tried to get a reservation at Mia Francesca's but were unable. My husband suggested we try Fly Me To the Moon, which is very near by. O.K. Fine. So I ...
I know exactly what that last review was referring to. The owner here actually PRETENDS to be from Italy! Can you believe that? Evidently, he's been able to make a fool of his own customers for years. Isn't that just weird?

what a cool atmosphere, worth visiting just for a look, but the food is great too

I knew it! I told my girlfriend he wasn't Italian! He told us he was! He couldn't even pronounce "gnocchi" or "bruscetta"! He's got postcards from Greece on the walls and he pretends to be from Italy? What a sad clown.
It wouldn't matter, if he made good food. If the food were fresh and nic...
