a Guido Oliverii Restaurant
Our History
Ristorante Abruzzo is one of four Italian Restaurants
owned and managed by the Oliverii family.
This is not a chain of "same restaurant, different
location". Each Oliverii restaurant has a different name,
menu and distinctive atmosphere.
Abruzzo originally began as Guido's in the Deerbrook
Mall more than 25 years ago. After 8 years in business
it was moved closer to the main entrance to the mall
and renamed Ristorante Abruzzo after founder, Guido
Oliverii's birthplace in the mountain region on the east
coast of Italy.
Today Abruzzo is located in a fabulous new facility
at 483 Lake Cook Rd. just south of the Secretary of
State facilities.
