The Little Stove

Stopped in today for lunch with my daughter. The restaurant was busy but we quickly found a spot at the bar to eat and watch the staff cook and make drinks, which was fun to see! The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely perfect. We tried several items off the menu and everything delicious. Our favorite was the Caesar salad with steak bites. We will be back soon!

Everything was absolutely devine. I had the Tune Nicoise and Shrimp Skillet. The son and wife had the Shrimp Skillet and Four Seasons Pizza. WOW is all I can say for Jacksonville, IL. The staff and Chef teuely care about their food.

In town for Business, looking for a healthy fresh option and came across this place..Highly recommend! Read the story behind!!! This South side Chi Town person loves a good Crust on the Pizza!!Good for solo dining and small groups. Great service, very kitschy decor and chill vibe with a view of the historically interesting view of their time square and a modern vibe! Soup of the day was a Spring Asparagus with Bacon so delish, light( not heavy cream but just natural) and so fresh! I also had the Margherita Pizza...the crust...so delish! This South Side Chicago person loves a good Doughy crust! The San Marzano sauce and fresh Basil and cheese...so So delish!

Fantastic pizza and fantastic meat balls!!! Small little restaurant that overs love and fresh tasting food to order. Mixed drinks were to die for. Thanks. I’m from Chicago with less quality offerings. I would definitely come back. Thanks.

We stopped here on our way through Illinois. It is definitely worth it. We came for Friday lunch and were able to sit right down. Service was great. They advised us that everything might come out at once and it’s common to share everything. We did and it was very good. Caesar salad, whipped ricotta ( focaccia was amazing), the sandwich was very good, and the two pizzas choices were unbelievable. Definitely a treat. Would love to come back for dinner if we are ever back that way.

Bellissima Piccola Stufa!! Pictures do not suffice! Chef Andrew makes amazing Neapolitan pizza! You can taste and see his passion for Italian cooking! Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was really nice! Jacksonville has quite a highlight in their town!

My coworker and I were in town on business and decided to give The Little Stove a try. The food was absolutely delicious, and the charming atmosphere added to the appeal. However, the early closing time of 7 p.m. felt a bit restrictive. Around 6:30, the staff began playing loud music, which made it clear they were preparing to close up. Unfortunately, this created a less-than-welcoming vibe toward the end of our meal.

Cannot recommend this place enough! The food is absolutely incredible and always far exceeds my expectations! The atmosphere is simple, elegant, and so inviting. Amazing staff too. The Little Stove is a gem of a restaurant!
