Stellar Food & Wine Experience. Volo spoils me for ordering wine almost anywhere else. Their list is eclectic and ever changing, and is easy to read and always delivers. Chef Stephen (from MK) delivers seasonally changing fare that is definitely among the top spots in the city - all nestled into this cozy/boutique spot. Summertime delivers probably the best hidden garden patio the city has to offer. Comfortable, friendly and unpretentious - weeknights are low key too. I love these guys!

Overpriced undertasty. I wanted to like this place based on my friends positive reviews but our table of four visit ended up costing $260 before tip for very mediocre food. I was befuddled at the check amount. The food was very average without taste. dishes such as the steak tartare and black angus beef over pasta were completely devoid of flavor- very bland. The cheese plate for $16 was paltry portion size. The wine was very expensive. A check of that amount should have been a four course dinner not an average night out with bland tasting food. Very disappointed. Do not recommend.

great food, great wine. The food and wine where killer. The environment was a bit loud and you are elbow to elbow with the adjacent tables. The dishes are pretty small but well prepared. I respect a man that takes pride in his work the chef was that man. I stood and watched him for a few minutes and was very impressed. I would recommend the roasted beets, steak tartare or the polenta.

We drank the 03 barbaresco, it was killer. The port was to my pleasure as well, I had the porta rocha 1975.

Creative food, but a bit overpriced. The atmosphere and offerings of this small restaurant in Roscoe Village were generally pleasant, but the portion sizes are tiny and it is quite expensive for what you get! I ordered an the lamb, and it was excellent! The sauces were wonderful and the meat was tender and flavorful. Only flaw, it was tiny! It was about the size of an appetizer! My date ordered the kobe beef, but his was cooked in a very plain manner - kind of a shame for such good quality meat! It reminded me of a stew. It was also pretty small. Unfortunately, after an appetizer, entree, and wine, we were still hungry.

Overall, I would recommend it as a nice place to go with some tasty offerings, but if you're hungry, you should probably go somewhere else.

So much fun!. My sister recently put together a birthday dinner for me here and it was amazing! The service was top notch and the food and wine were excellent. Highly recommended for a big group, so many interesting dishes to share. I will be back.
