Great overall dining experience! I may be biased because I absolutely love Italian food, however this charming restaurant met all of my expectations. The menu had so many delicious looking dishes but the friendly and knowledgeable server helped us narrow down our options. We skipped the appetizer since Italian food is pretty heavy and we wanted to save room for dessert. I ordered the gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce which was light and creamy. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon topped with blueberry sauce. We were both hesitant about trying it since we weren?t sure how blueberry sauce would compliment red meat, but hats off to the chef and the server for recommending such an outstanding dish! Finally, we wrapped up our meal with the flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake which were the perfect end to our meal. Both were more moderate portions and light in texture so we didn?t walk out feeling uncomfortably full. Overall it was a really positive experience and I will definitely be returning to Acqua Al 2 in the future!

The patio dining out back makes the place two entirely different experiences. Inside it tends to be busy and musical and bustling -- all white and candle glow, but outside it is quieter and cool and dark. There are three things on the menu that I love: Tuscan Seafood pasta with squid ink linguini, the chicken florentine, and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. Get a bottle of wine, two entres and a shared dessert and you'll only go over a hundred bucks if you tip thirty percent.
Check out the website for prices and directions. www.alexanderson30th. com Though I wasn't so impressed in May when I tried it the first time, the last two times, they have been friendly and fast. There is ample parking on Upas behind the building and they do take reservations now.

I love going here for their Minestrone soup on a perfect day... Everything on the menu is delicious, even the bread that they give to begin with. It's on one of the popular streets for Hillcrest!

My husband and I have been going to Barolo's since they opened. We have never been disapointed with the wonderful food or service they offer! They deliver a great meal everytime!
Having grown up in a Italian home in Chicago, I am very picky about eating Italian out.
I love their Salmon lunch so much I could eat it weekly. If you are in the mood for Pasta, you have to try the Pear Ravioli! It's really rich, but it's worth it!
In fact, my husband is picking up take out for our dinner from there at this very moment. I don't think there is any higher recomendation I could give than my testimony of how often we eat their food! Tell them you want to sit in Mimo's section if he is there! You will have a true Italian experience then. Good Eating!
