Maucieri's. A family tradition.Italians love what they eat. We think about our next meal before we're half way through the one in front of us. Sure, food provides fuel, but it's also a great excuse for families to gather, to raise wine glasses and salute the day. Growing up in Chicago, I was spoon-fed a love for food and family from my beginning. I'm thrilled my children also have a passion for cooking and entertaining. If you get the chance, introduce yourself to my daughter Dawn. She runs the place. And you might bump into my son, Tony. He built the place. And if you really listen hard, you might just hear my wife's laughter coming from the kitchen. At least we'd like to think so. She's been gone since 1998, but her feisty temperment, flair for cooking and love of family permeates the very core of this place. We wouldn't have it any other way.While you're at Maucieri's, be sure to try our sauce, or gravy, as we like to call it. It has a long, mysterious history that started with my Grandmother Angelina, who was born in Abruzzi, Italy. There's a reason her picture is the very heart of our restaurant logo. After all these years, we haven't changed her gravy a bit. Try as you might, we won't give away her secret. The good news is, we'll make it for you any time.Now, as they say in Italy, Mangia! Mangia!All the best,Tony
