Michael and Doug Dunlay, the cousins who operate Dunlays on the Square, Dunlays on Clark, Smoke Daddy and D.O.C. Wine Bar, are also behind this West Lakeview spot. The casual Italian-inspired restaurant and wine bar features a showy wood-burning oven and a 35-seat bar fitted with river rock, and there's both booth and banquette seating. The menu focuses on gourmet pizzas, with reasonably priced pastas and a few heartier Italian entrees rounding things out. For dessert, the skillet cookie is a wildly popular option.
