Real, authentic Italian restaurant food from our heart to yours…

Italian Cuisine

Our goal at Venuti’s Italian restaurant is to serve the finest Italian cuisine at the best prices here in Addison Il. We wanted to combine a family friendly atmosphere but also serve fine homemade Italian food that everybody can afford. There is no other “white tablecloth” restaurant like us around the Chicago suburbs. Each pasta dish is made from scratch from recipes that have been handpicked from our Venuti family as well as new ones from our renown chef. Many of our Italian cuisine is also offered at events in our banquet hall.

Combining old world flavor with a modern twist at our Italian restaurant has provided our loyal customers with mouth watering dishes to come back for time and time again.
