Venuti’s is a elegant Itailian Ristorante for any special dinning occasion. Venuti’s purpose is to delight our guests through excellence in hospitality and delicious food. We strive to make each and every dinning experience unforgettable.
The property includes four private banquet facilities available for weddings, fundraisers, corporate events, business luncheons, school events, holiday parties, trade shows, conventions and much more.
History
Established in 1965.
Venuti knew he wanted to expand, so he purchased a tract of vacant land that would allow him to dream — and build — big. «Here is where I want to be,» he told his family.
After 1−½ years of design work and three years to get the required permits and build the facility, Venuti’s hosted its first wedding April 8, 2006; Venuti’s Restaurant and the adjoining V Lounge opened July 5, that same year. The banquet rooms are named Venezia, Verona, Volare and Vita. (The Venutis link the letter «V.»)
Venuti grew up in Abruzzo, and came to Chicago in 1958 where he worked in steel mills and cleaned theaters. A year later, he brought his fiancé to the United States to get married. He and his wife, Alba, made their home in Chicago, and in 1960 Venuti worked at a diner and then at the city’s legendary Gino’s East.
He went into business for himself in 1965 when he opened his own restaurant on St. Charles Road in Villa Park, later moving it to North Avenue.

«Money comes and goes,» Vittorio Venuti has always told his children, «You become rich on your reputation.» A testament to his philosophy is the grand banquet and restaurant facility bearing the family name in Addison. The opulent structure, evoking classic Roman architecture and decorated with Italian marble and mosaics, is a crowning achievement of 49 years of work and dedication in the dinning industry
