Food, family and tradition are the ingredients of the recipe that make Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants such a huge success. Located in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Phil Stefani's business ventures include; ten restaurants, banquet facilities, five seasonal venues, an off-premise catering department, food and beverage services at one of Chicago's premiere golf courses, and pasta shop. Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants runs the gamut from authentic Italian to sophisticated fine-dining steak and seafood restaurants or casual beer gardens and lakeshore cafes along Lake Michigan's boardwalk and shoreline. The story of Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants began in Chicago in 1980 when Phil and his Uncle Lino opened their flagship restaurant, Stefani's in the heart of Lincoln Park, Chicago. Stefani's was created around family values of hard work, being fair and honest and serving authentic Italian food. The outstanding reputation of Stefani's led to the creation of Tuscany. The Tuscany Restaurant locations include Chicago's Little Italy on Taylor Street, Wrigleyville, across the street from Wrigley Field, and in the surrounding suburbs of Oak Brook and Wheeling. Tuscany features homemade pastas, gourmet pizzas baked in wood-burning ovens, and all have options for private dining. They evoke the feelings of the comfortable trattorias for which Italy is famous. It was not long before Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants expanded to one of Chicago's most famous landmark destinations. In 1995 Navy Pier was completely renovated and became a destination spot for both Chicagoans and tourists. The Stefani operations at the Pier include Riva, a seafood and steak restaurant with spectacular views of the lake and the Chicago skyline; the Beer Garden, opened May through October for casual dining or outdoor parties; The Crystal Garden, serving private events and receptions year round in a glass enclosed atrium and the Chango Loco Bar and Grill, a casual café atmosphere for summer dining. Navy Pier is not the only place to catch one of Phil Stefani's outdoor dining pleasures. Now you can play golf and enjoy the wonderful food of Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants at Harborside International Golf Center located just south of downtown. If you the love the lakefront, then head over to North Avenue Beach and enjoy Castaway's. Located on the boardwalk, it is the perfect beachfront restaurant to enjoy gourmet style burgers, salads and tropical sweets. And if you are heading south, stop by Dockside Café which services over 1,000 boats or the Museum Campus Café. Both locations are located adjacent to Soldier Field and the Field Museum. In March of 1998, Tavern on Rush opened in the heart of the exclusive Gold Coast area, just blocks away from the bars and nightlife found on Division and Rush Street. Tavern on Rush is an upscale, contemporary American steakhouse, featuring a sprawling bar, multi-level seating and an outdoor patio. The latest Phil Stefani Signature Restaurant is Phil Stefani's 437 Rush. Located at the corner of Rush and Hubbard Streets, Phil Stefani's 437 Rush is designed to echo the feel of an Italian Steakhouse. With its beautiful outdoor piazza right from Michigan Avenue, this bi-level establishment attracts busy shoppers, business people and tourists since it opened its doors this past June. People are attracted to the busy bar scene, and the steak and seafood menu with an Italian accent. Because Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants treats each and every customer and employee as a member of the family and because of the comfortable atmosphere, the restaurants have continued to maintain a loyal following. All of our restaurants have attracted locals, celebrities, politicians and conventioneers. Former President Bill Clinton is a frequent diner at all Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants, and in the past year Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have both visited Phil Stefani's 437 Rush. Political movers and shakers though, are not the only guests who frequent Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants. Celebrity diners have included Tom Cruise, Cindy Crawford, Kobe Bryant, Vince Vaughn, Kerry Wood, Metallica, John Cusack, Michael Jordan and many more. Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants dedicates a great deal of time and money to giving back to the community, especially children's charities. In 1988, the company formed Stefani Children's Charities. The Stefani Children's Charities donates to many children's charities such as Children's Memorial Hospital, Maryville Academy, Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, Cystic Fibrosis and United Cerebral Palsy. Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants also holds their annual golf outing to help raise money for many of these children's charities. The recipe that Phil Stefani has created based upon food, family and tradition is truly a huge success. It will be passed on to generation after generation and will continue in all future Phil Stefani Signature Restaurant ventures.Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants Address
