Our server Gabby was top notch! The food was spectacular as always...we don't like the red gravy as much as the marinara, but they readily substituted the marinara for us. I was fortunate that the special was one of my favorite meals. It came with a salad and a scoop of ice cream....we drove in from New Orleans and this meal was well worth it.

Service was ridiculously slow. Our server took nearly an hour to even take our order and another 45 minutes to bring our food out. Ordered first drinks (wine) during happy hour and were charged full price. After being there for over 2 hours, I didn’t even have the strength to argue. It’s unfortunate because I’ll think twice before returning. Bill total was nearly $400 for 5 people and 2 had no drinks. I tipped our waiter 20% because I that’s what I do, but the service was some of the worst I have had at an upscale restaurant and definitely not what I expected from Little Village. My granddaughter was celebrating her birthday and instead of telling her she’d get a free dessert, our waiter let her order one and then brought both, so she didn’t eat the custard. Some training of waitstaff on efficiency and customer service is definitely needed.
