According to a recent article from Shaw Local, Cafe Roma will be expanding to Huntley’s Old Village Hall, located at 11704 Coral Street.
A representative of Cafe Roma was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Chicago’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be released, according to the article previously mentioned, “Cafe Roma is targeting a spring or summer 2025 opening date.”
“The village has looked at plans for the Old Village Hall redevelopment three times this year, in April, August, and, most recently, earlier this month. Besides a restaurant, plans for the building also include a banquet space.”
“In August, trustees gave the feedback that they’d like to see awnings on the building, which developer True North Properties included in their latest renderings, according to Village documents. No restaurant had agreed yet to move in when the trustees gave feedback in August,” the article goes on to state.
According to Cafe Roma’s company website, they describe themselves as “Setting the standard for a contemporary dining experience in Elgin, Café Roma delivers with the uncompromising pursuit of taste and quality. From Italian Sea Salt to the ultrafine double 00 flour and perfectly ripened vegetables the Café Roma difference is in every handcrafted bite.”
“Classical French trained at Cordon bleu, Chef/Owner Frank Redisi shares a delightful passion for haute Italian cuisine and has traveled the globe studying and sampling multicultural fare throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. Chef Redisi’s Philosophy? Start simple and do a couple of things very well – EVERY TIME.”
“Since opening in 2008, the team at Café Roma has developed an unrivaled eye for quality, service, and attention to detail. The ability to deliver delicious meals consistently and reliably allows for the evolution of exciting new menu items, service, and catering options and hours, to exceed the expectations of our patrons.”
“The upscale cafe concept of Café Roma at lunch transforms into a candlelit, white tablecloth full-service dining room on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. A fully stocked bar makes Roma the perfect place to meet with colleagues, friends, and family. Sit with a glass of wine from our premium list, or relax with a handcrafted cocktail while the team prepares your meal in an open kitchen,” the company website adds.
