The Gamberale family manages this cozy and romantic Italian restaurant located in the Heart of Italy, a famous area of bakeries and restaurants located in the Heart of Chicago since 1972. Chef Franco prepares delicious meals made to order, and serves them in a charming, dimly lit atmosphere. Some of the Italian Americans who still live in the area (those who haven't moved to the Near Northwest suburbs) gather at the bar.
