G (o) Go! The river north location is much bigger than the west loop spot, but carries the same charm.

W (ow) Fantastic desserts! highly recommend the cherry nougat sorbet

A (mbiance) Casual, 2 stars off for slow service/missing things on our order.

M (enu) Best item was the short rib sandwich. It featured the juiciest short rib that came apart like butter, with an assortment of vegetables, on toasted pita bread. Fries boasted some spicy seasoning, an addicting combo!

Asparagus and guanciale pizza was a close second - the generous cheese shavings interspersed with bites of pork jowl, the crunchy crust, and thin slices added to the charm. Tasted great reheated too.

The cherry almond nougat sorbet was chock full of almonds. Beautiful plating too - there was a whole cookie delicately placed on top of the scoop, which perched on a bed of cookie crumbs. It was almost as filling as an entree. Like a ben and jerrys cherry jubilee on steroids.

The baklava on a bed of ricotta cream was delicious but could have been crunchier.
