Café L’Appetito, born in Italy and made in Chicago, has been a staple of the Windy City since its establishment in 1981. Situated in a new high-rise building on Columbus Day, this little Italian grocery store from the Northwest side blossomed into a beloved spot in the heart of the city, maintaining its Italian essence while embracing its urban surroundings.

Now, over three decades and two generations later, Café L’Appetito remains a thriving family-run business, staying faithful to the vision of its founder, Anthony Spatara. The café has become a cherished destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic Italian experience, promising a taste of Italy in the bustling atmosphere of downtown Chicago.
