Review by Duncan Murray

The Village is a delightful gem in downtown Chicago! ✨ The ambiance is a perfect blend of cozy and trendy, making it great for families or a romantic dinner.

We kicked off our meal with the pizza bread and the unique Pheasant Agnolottini - delicious! Each entrée came with a soup or salad; I went for the chicken Parmesan, which was outstanding.

The service was attentive, and the fresh, warm bread kept coming! Don’t skip dessert; the Tiramisu was divine! I'll definitely be back for more delicious Italian fare! 🍝❤️
