When you think of pizza and pasta take out or catering, most people have visions of puddles and puddles of grease but Rosati's (http://www.myrosatis.com/) of Glenview (at Lake and Milwaukee) is the complete opposite. Rosati's is serving the freshest and most tasty delights including cannoli's.
Jesus, who is the general manager, has been at this location for about ten years and has a great way with the customers no matter if you're calling at the last minute or you've put your order in a week ahead of time. He's very accommodating and very patient.
They're serving everything from fried chicken, pasta, ribs, great sandwiches and wonderful salads. They buy their products and ingredients from Battaglia and Greco who are great food suppliers. Both of these suppliers have sent them some great products and supplies.
Their customers and clientele base consists of alot of families and kids which is wonderful for the business, community and neighborhood.
They offer carryout and delivery services but presently do not have sit down seating.
They offer mailers and menus that are accompanied by coupons.
Just like alot of other businesses, they have been affected by the economy but things are starting to pick up.
They're customer base keep coming back because the food is great and the employees are just wonderful.
The menu has alot of different items and has alot of options especially if you're going to be throwing a party or event.
I had the pleasure of being able to try the baked mostaccioli with tomato sauce and great mozzarella on top that was accompanied by a meatball and Italian sausage. I thought I was going to pass out when I ate the Italian sausage. This was a definite winner. I also tried the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was just out of this world and I ended the day with a canolli which was good. All of these dishes were very tasty and delicately made.
This was such a treat and the food is just excellent along with the customer service. Place your take out, catering or delivery order with Rosati's in Glenview: 847-296-0260.

Depot Nuevo and The Noodle Cafe: Two great eating destinations
Rob Garrison comes from a small business family and was presented with the opportunity to buy a restaurant from a friend who was in the process of selling and that's how the Noodle Cafe got it's start. The Noodle Cafe resembled a restaurant that he and his wife Ann had dined at in Evanston, IL. Depot Nuevo was another idea that had come along from a Graduate School project when he was attending Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management in Evanston, IL.
Their inspiration for their menu comes form the winding down of the Glenview, IL location of The Noodle Cafe when they featured a latin inspired menu for the last three months. Their products and ingredients are sourced from some of the most elite suppliers in the state and country especially for their clientele.
The marketing campaign consists of word of mouth (which is a great way to market) and web pages for both The Noodle Cafe (http://www.thenoodlecafe.com/) and for Depot Nuevo (http://www.depotnuevo.com/) that are both very informative and also offer opt in email. They have a facebook page and also have a Twitter Account. They also do special events that are included in their Facebook and Twitter communications. They are also involved with print advertising and screen ads in the movie theaters. In the past, they have also offered half price specials.
A great fundraiser and business development idea that's been implemented is a "Celebrity Bar Tender" Evening where a celebrity comes and bar tends for the evening and half of the money that is made on drinks only is given to the charity of the evening.
The future of Depot Nuevo and The Noodle Cafe consists of quality establishments running at top and maximum functioning.
Rob and the chef are trying to do a mix of traditional Mexican menu mixed with new dishes. Their moto is “ Let’s make things more modern and not get stuck with something old”. The food evolves over time and they are trying to have comfortable food. Their goal is to be modern and not get stuck in the past.
They’re able to pull people from the surrounding suburbs and the surrounding area that adds to their clientele list.
New concepts that MIGHT be on the horizon are foods and flavors form Louisiana or possibly South Korea.
The freshness and quality of their food is very high and goes beyond expectation. All of their cooking is from scratch and freshly made. They concentrate on taste, friendly service and friendliness. The goal is to serve great food by great people in an immaculate environment.
This writer sampled very tasty chips, a red salsa, a green salsa, duck enchiladas and Mexican steak that was accompanied by mashed potatoes and great green beans that were cooked to perfection.

Salerno's: Glenview's OUTSTANDING Italian eating destination. Salerno's is a standout for their recipes & authentic cooking.
I had the pleasure of being able to chat with Michael who is the Manager of Glenview's Salerno's Pizza and sampled some of the most wonderful Italian food the Chicago and Glenview have to offer. The pizza, lasagna, fresh bread, Italian beef with wonderful krinkle cut french fries, a cannoli and pistachio gelato were all UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Salerno’s opened in 1966 and have five stores and are in the process going to open another one in Vernon Hills.
The restaurant started as a bar in 1966 on16th in Berwyn and was started by Uncle Vince, Michael's father, Uncle Arnie and Uncle Adam. As the restaurant was opened and functioning, the customers were hungry and asked Michael's Mom to please make them something to eat. Michael's Mom and Aunt did the cooking and that's how Salerno's restaurant and menu were born. The family came from Calabria and emigrated to the US in 1961.
The customer service is really outstanding and the restaurant sits in 2000 sq feet. The business isdoing very well and is experiencing an upswing. They offer fresh pasta on Wednesday’s which is half price and they offer half price Pizza on Monday's.
The quality of their food is ensured by trying the food to make sure that the product tastes appropriate. There’s a lot of training for the staff on products and how their supposed to be delivered.
They are staying ahead of your competition giving their customers good food, good service and a smile.
Word of mouth is a great way to advertise their business which is their #1 marketing tool.
Salerno’s is immaculate and you can eat off the floors. The kitchen is also very clean and the staff is wonderful. There’s not a lot of turnover and the employees are treated like gold. They offer great specials and have lowered their prices in this economy.
They have a lot of ordering for catering from schools, graduations, families, birthday parties, house gatherings and also have a lot of orders come in for salads, appetizers and pastas.
They are working with a lot of credit cards and technology which has really helped in providing control of tracking their business. Salernos also offers online ordering for their take out needs. Every store does their own ordering which is an asset because it helps in fulfilling the needs of the neighborhood. A lot of south siders from Oak Park and Cicero are the customers that keep coming back to the restaurant because of their past memories and experiences of the store in Berwyn.
They also offer stuffed shells, baked mostocoli and lots of pizza. They also offer wheat pasta which is available in only cut pasta and not for the lasagna. On the liter side they offer White fish, tilapia, salmon, cod fish (bakala) and also offer vegetarian specialties such as egg plant parmagian, vegetarian focaccia and any pasta with marinara. sauce. Shrimp scampi, shrimp diavolo, fried shrimp. Eating at Salerno's is like eating Sunday dinner on Taylor Street. A lot of prominent people come and frequent their business.
They make their own cannoli’s and tiramisu. They put Grand marnier in their tiramisu and all the dessert is made fresh upon request.
I sampled the following items which were all just incredible: cheese pizza which tasted like a slice form the old country, lasagna and fresh bread which were just unbelievable, the italian beef and krinkle cut french fries were great and the cannoli also most had me passed out on the spotless and clean floors. The cannolis need an award and category all of their own. I also got to sample the pistachio gelato which tasted like it just got off the plane from Italy!!! Salerno's food is just mind blowing!!!
The cannoli’s are an UNBELIEVABLE and they offer the mini version for parties (I'm not kidding here, these are THE BEST cannoli's you've EVER had). All orders go to salernospizza.com which goes to a straight to a fax machine and delivers the order to the location of the restaurant. There are plans in the future to knock out a wall and expand the restaurant to accommodate more of the sit down service. The restaurant offers food runners who bring the food to the customers after you place your order.
Salernos is a stand out and A++++ because of their wonderful customer service, unbelievable food that’s made with perfection and experience and fills the huge void in Glenview, IL.
Salerno’s deserves their own James Beard award for outstanding Italian food.
