The Scene
The decor--plain wood, silky drapes and trompe l'oeil walls--is warm, but not overly done. Servers are sharp and speedy, catering to in-a-hurry, pre-theater diners on their way to Steppenwolf (which has its own table signified by a brass nameplate) and the Royal George just down the street.

The Food
The kitchen specializes in hearty Italian dishes that throw the occasional curve ball. Crusty, thin pizza di mare is topped with tender calamari and grilled rock shrimp; an appetizer of grilled polenta with portobello and crimini mushrooms is a signature. Entrees like penne with tomato basil sauce and goat cheese (light and buoyantly fresh) and rigatoni with sausage and broccoli (drenched in a delicious tomato cream sauce) work tangy variations on basic dishes. Panna cotta, a creamy mound of mouthwatering white custard ringed with dried cherry balsam and almonds, is a confident finish.
