Wood-fired pizza in Downtown La Grange — 20 minutes from the city, walkable from the Metra, parked right in the middle of where everyone meets up. The room is modern, the patio is massive, and the energy hits the second you walk in.The menu runs on what's good right now. Chef Juan Alvarado is back there making it from scratch — pies come out blistered and properly charred, the shareable plates are not afterthoughts, the salads punch above their weight, and the weekend brunch is worth waking up for. Happy hour earns its keep.Cocktails are fun, not fussy. Classics done right, a few seasonal swings worth ordering twice, a wine list that surprises you, and beer for everyone who wants beer.Date night, a long catch-up with a friend, the "we earned this" Tuesday after a brutal week, a birthday that needs a real room — our servers will read it before you have to explain. Big parties land easy too; the space flexes.Come hungry, stay late, and don't skip the pizza.

A wood-fired pizza spot tucked into Downtown Lemont, and yeah — we're a little obsessed with what comes out of that oven. Real char, blistered crust, dough we leave alone long enough to actually do its thing.The menu runs on what's good right now. Chef Juan Alvarado is back there making it from scratch — the salads punch above their weight, the shareable plates are not afterthoughts, and the weekend brunch is worth setting an alarm for (you will not regret it.)Cocktails are fun, not fussy. Classics done right, a few seasonal swings worth ordering twice, a wine list that punches above its zip code, and beer for everyone who wants beer.Out back, the patio is where the vibe lives. Friday-night smoke off the oven, Sunday brunch that goes long, an events calendar that stays packed. Walk over after a stroll through Downtown Lemont, or make the drive in — either way, the room handles the rest.Come hungry, stay late, and don't skip the pizza.

    THe crispy rice with ahi tuna and the tuna tartar were very good, tho the latter was a bit too spicy for our taste, though we ate every last bit. We had Churros for dessert, plus a glass of wine and a beer. All this including tip was $73 . We enjoyed that price! We are going to try the other site in HInsdale soon.

    I’m not sure if this is the norm or if this was an unusual occurrence but it seems that the server and bartender were both performing double duty as they often were in the kitchen leaving the dining room without staff. Despite that, the food was amazing, the drinks delicious and a great experience overall. Will definitely dine again.
