I stopped in today after the Linguine Padavani had been on my mind for a while—my go-to here. This experience wasn’t the best, but I think it was more of a fluke thing because PR has been fantastic every other time.I was seated immediately, even despite the upcoming Cubs game, but the service was a little slow.And the burrata and linguine were delicious, but those are two tiny crostinis and the chicken had a reheated taste to it.A little disappointing but not enough to sway me. I’ll definitely be back for more and am already excited.The food always comes out nice and hot, and there’s a cozy feel to it if that makes any sense.I also love the atmosphere at PR.It has a certain down-to-earth/neighborhood feel, but it’s elevated at the same time.The servers are always super kind, too!

Grazie! We appreciate your kind words and very much look forward to your return!
Food was great, service was good.Definitely take the time to check the specials, and if the pork cheek ragu is on there order it.Great selection of wines by the glass, tiramisu was a good choice too.Outdoor seating is dog friendly.
