I first heard about this place from a friend of mine who invited me to grab a beer with him here the day after I got back from overseas. After being away for 2 1/2 weeks on vacation I was dying to have something familiar for once. Walking into this place was like walking through a museum. There's literally relics all over the place dating back probably to the time Chicago was established as a city (of course I'm exagerating =) ). Their menu is loaded with both Italian and American everyday favorites from spaghetti to pizzas, Italian beef sandwiches to beefy cheeseburgers cooked the way you want it. Let's not forget the pizzas too. Needless to say I was satisfied. The only gripe I had was the beer. Not that I didn't like it, but it wasn't cold at all and warm beer in the 80 degree summer day wasn't good at all. It's a really interesting place to eat at. Come for the food, stay for the stuff all around the place.
Pros: good food
Cons: warm beer
