DDD Episode

Panozzo's killed it on this recent episode of Food Network's 'Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives,' serving up meatballs and porchetta crescentina.

Monthly Dinners

Once a month we host a multi-course feast featuring a different region of Italy or showcasing a theme of our choosing. They sell out fast so get on our email list or our twitter feed to be first in line.

Antipasti

Housemade Fennel Taralli, Ubriaco Pecorino with a wine-must rubbed rind and the splendid, spicy Calabrese Salumi from Creminelli Fine Meats.

Venetian Night

Old School – 25th Anniversary of the Tresche Conca Society, Venetian Hall, Chicago IL, January 11, 1931. The Hometown Gang when the city could still afford to put on Venetian Night

We are FAMILY (and We Do Dinners)!

Yes we do. Once a month we stick those weird little discs under the grocery shelves and shove them aside, borrow some tables and chairs from Father Mike at Old St. Mary’s, Chef John eschews sleep for a half-week and, Shazam! Another life-changing multi-course feast is served on Sunday (and sometimes Saturday) night, right there in the glow from the freezer – where’ve ya been?

We kicked off the 2011 series with a sensual slaughter of the food of Emilia-Romagna (one highlight – >>). We rocked a Rome menu for Two nights. We did a 12 course monster Ode to Sicily (and were considerate enough to serve bubbles with the cuttlefish). We also threw in a couple conceptual curves – our ‘Family Meal’ (pictured above) where 7 staffers collaborated on a course with Chef John inspired by a primal food memory and somehow we brought that Syrian, Polish, Italian, Cuban, Mexican, American mélange into gustatory harmony. Our final dinner of 2011 was our ‘Hearth and Home’ dinner where we, pretty much, just tried to make everyone so pleased and sated that they wept. Stay tuned for the 2012 slate.

    Hello – how much do these dinners run and do you pay up front for a reservation?

  2. Panozzo's Italian Market
