Spiro's Deli: Glenview's destination for "The Bomber" and UNBELIEVABLE fries!!

Spiro's Delis is the creation of the Nestos family that arrived from Greece and achieved the American dream by opening this great destination in 1966. Peter, who is one of the sons, is the owner and has a wonderful staff to help him. This wonderful spot is the home to "The Bomber", which was named after a squadron and some unbelievable fries that are home made and will leave you dreaming about them for centuries.  "The Bomber" consists of their own Italian Beef, a mayo spread, onions, pickles and an unbelievable bread that is just delectable. There is a doctor who orders "The Bomber" from Spiro's and is a "deal closer" for any business deal that might arise and needs to be closed. The Poor Boy, which is also popular, was started by Peter's grandmother with very simple cheeses and meat and has remained as a consistent item on their menu.

This wonderful place was started as a full service deli with meat, cheeses, lots of Greek sweets and other delicious items and is now a great fast food destination. The quality of their ingredients is #1 and is their top priority.  They purchase their products from Cisco and United Food Service.   The newest addition is their chicken pitas which are healthy and tasty. The menu includes unbelievable fries, gyros, burgers, hot dogs, Italian Sausage and a catering menu that is just out of this world. If you need to put in a catering order, they need twenty four hours notice to put he order together.

There are several defining factors that set Spiro's apart and those being the quality of their food and their customer service. They deliver their great food to various business in the loop and also have a wonderful catering service with a huge menu to pick from. Peter wants to thank the customers for 44 years of patronizing their wonderful business. They have the most hardworking and loyal clientele on the North Shore of Chicago.

Spiro's Deli is a must go to destination in Glenview and the North Shore. Peter and his staff are  very hospitable, the food is unbelievable and you can eat off the floors. Enjoy!!!

Roasti's in Glenview: One of the North Shore's best pizza, pasta and sandwiches (and cannoli too!!!)

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.
