Dear valued guests,

After nearly 23 wonderful years in Kildeer, Gianni’s CafΓ© will be closing this location as of today, Tuesday, November 18, as we begin a new chapter focused on our larger and more accommodating restaurant in downtown Palatine.

Located by the train station at 18 W. Station Street, our Palatine location offers dinner Tuesday through Sunday, Sunday brunch, and a private dining room for events of all sizes. We look forward to welcoming our Kildeer guests there and continuing to provide the same great food, service, and hospitality you’ve come to know and love.

We are deeply proud of what our Kildeer location has meant to the community β€” the countless celebrations, friendships, and milestones shared within its walls. Many of our employees met spouses, started families, and built lifelong relationships here.

To all of you who have been part of our story, thank you for making these past 23 years so meaningful.

If you have a reservation currently booked at our Kildeer location, please don’t worry, our team will be reaching out to assist with transferring your reservation to Palatine.

We had been thoughtfully considering this transition for some time and felt this was the right moment to focus our efforts on one restaurant, ensuring the best possible dining experience for our guests for years to come.

Though this chapter is closing, our story continues in Palatine. We can’t wait to welcome you there for many more meals, celebrations, and memories together. Thank you!

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Gianni’s CafΓ© Family
