IDEOLOGY

When it comes to cooking, Chef Brian Goewey knows a thing or two about it. He also understands that the more one can plan out a menu in advance the better. By applying this simple principle, it gives one more time to cook and enjoy it. Planning, being passionate about cooking, having entrepreneurial foresight and drive are the key ingredients that have helped him achieve success in every restaurant venture he partakes in. Chef Goewey has been involved in as well as partially responsible for the opening of over 50 restaurants, ranging from quick-serve style to high-end 5-star restaurants.

THE CONCEPT

Our main focus is chef-driven, farm-to-fork food concepts such as Neapolitan style wood-fired pizzas, creative small plates, fresh pasta, antipasto, and hand-made mozzarella to name a few. Our mixology bar concept includes specialty craft beers as well as an exclusive wine list with flavors carefully chosen to complement our delicious food plates.

Downers Grove

Home to many unique boutique shops, dining establishments, and community events. Downtown Downers Grove has quickly become a shopping and dining destination due to its location and variety. The Tivoli Theatre and over 140 community events and festivals, which attract thousands of visitors each year, has helped to earn Downtown Downers Grove a spot on Chicago Tribune’s “Top 10 List of Downtowns.”
