It's been an incredible journey over the past 30 years in West Town, and we can't wait to bring our passion for great food and hospitality to this new location. We are finally home on Chicago Ave.”
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, May 3, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- After more than 30 years on Grand Ave, the Padilla family is thrilled to announce the reopening and relocation of Oggi Trattoria. Now open to the public at 1461 W Chicago Ave, the move for the beloved restaurant marks a significant milestone for the Padilla family, who’ve lived and worked in West Town since the late 1970s. — Sam Padilla, Head Chef
The new space has been completely gutted and built out, providing a fresh environment for patrons to enjoy the same incredible classic food and service Oggi is known for. Interiors include custom wallpapering, “The Tree of Life,” made in collaboration with local business, Urban Source—as well as custom brass bar stools, mint green accents and plenty of natural light, thanks to the installation of several new windows along the eastern wall. The new Oggi Trattoria will have seating for 75 guests, including 10 seats at the bar.
“We wanted to give our long-time customers a fresh environment and an overall elevated experience,” said head chef Sam Padilla. “Even if you’re just having a glass of water, we want it to be a more refreshing experience.”
Oggi Trattoria has become an iconic establishment in West Town over the years, known for its authentic Italian cuisine and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The new space on Chicago Ave is set to continue this tradition, offering diners an unforgettable experience, and the continuation of a family legacy. Notably, this is the restaurant’s third location in West Town, but the first that the family has owned after renting two different locations on Grand Ave for the past 30 years.
“West Town has always been home for our family, but we could never plant our restaurant’s roots in one place because we’ve always rented,” says Padilla. “"It's been an incredible journey over the past 30 years in West Town, and we can't wait to bring our passion for great food and hospitality to this new location. We are finally home on Chicago Ave. We’ve finally made it.”
