Photo tour: Mattone Restaurant in LaGrange Park

May 14, 2018

Brothers Franco and Vito Francese transform their father's former restaurant, D's Little Italy to Mattone Restaurant + Bar, or "brick" in Italian. The name is an homage the restaurant's main attraction--a brick oven located in the center of the space, which makes rolls for its house sandwiches and dough for the pizzas. Find traditional Italian favorites and modern dishes, like chicken limone, caprese salad, BBQ ribs and a selection of sandwiches. A noteworthy menu item is the Italian take on Canadian Poutine--garlic fries smothered in mozzarella cheese and homemade Bolognese sauce. The welcoming space also offers banquets and private party areas, with family photos adorning the reclaimed wood walls. A bar and outdoor patio are also available for patrons. Visit Mattone Restaurant + Bar at 9 E 31st St, La Grange Park, IL 60526.
