It couldn't get any more romantic than this Boys Town trattoria, a space that plays up intimacy with candlelight, faux antique gold walls, dramatic oil paintings and black-and-white photographs. At the rear, locals relax by a tiny bar lit by candles and a chandelier, a nice place to perch while waiting for a table. Wine bottles line both dining rooms, where couples huddle over fresh, housemade pasta and rich dishes like osso buco and a boneless pork chop stuffed with prosciutto, fontina cheese and sage over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. – –

Overpriced drinks, marginal food, unattentive service
by chimusclejock at Citysearch
I've now been three times and won't be back.
Tonight I got a tiny - probably 2.5oz Martini for $11, followed by a 4 oz glass of wine for $8.
(Other restaurants nearby serve 4-5 oz martini's and 6 oz glasses of wine)
Twice I had to go to the bar where the two waiters and the bartender were chatting in order to get their attention.
ALso tried to flag down the waiter from the other section, but he obviously couldn't be bothered by the other waiter's tables.
The food was OK, but not spectacular. Wilted romaine, and overcooked shrimp and chicken. At $140 for two people I expect at least the food and/or the service to be at least "really good".
There are much better places in the neighborhood such as FireFly and Yoshi's that offer good value, generous drinks and attentive service, usually for less money than this place.
- Pros: Cozy and romantic
- Cons: Food, service, pricing

Awesome Neighborhood Restaurant!

You truly could not get a better deal in all of Chicago for fantastic Italian food and a really cozy atmosphere! Tucked away on the corner of Broadway and Addison, this place is excellent for a nice, romantic dinner or even just a relaxing after work meal with friends. Make a point to try the pumpkin ravioli, which truly is out of this world. And, there is not a better dessert in this whole city than Angelina's tira misu! HUGE and absolutely scrumptious! Big two thumbs up for this place!
- Pros: tira misu, all pastas!
- Cons: better for small parties, not large groups.
