From Naples
to Chicago,
one recipe at a time.

In 1987, Marco and Giulia Rosario arrived from Castellammare di Stabia with two suitcases, a leather notebook of family recipes, and very little English. Six tables on Maple Street. No reservations needed at first — there weren't enough customers.

Word moved through the neighborhood faster than either of them expected. Today their son Antonio runs the kitchen, using the same notebook.

"
We don't serve Italian food. We serve our food, and it happens to be Italian.
