This family-run restaurant just southwest of Chicago has been a local favorite for over 30 years. The dimly lit dining room is reminiscent of old-world Italy and is the perfect atmosphere for either a romantic dinner or a casual night out with the family. The menu of Italian-American fare is sizable and features standards like chicken Vesuvio and veal Parmigiana, as well as a variety of pastas and seasonal specials. And if it’s pizza you’re craving, look no further. Palermo’s pizza—regular or thin crust, traditional or Chicago-style deep dish—is renowned throughout the area and is available for carry-out along with a selection of items from the dining room menu.
