Years after the closure of Jimmy's Charhouse in Elk Grove Village, Italian restaurant Cefalu opens
Boasting a menu of steaks, chicken, fish, pizza and pasta, the restaurant at 1180 W. Devon Ave. has a similar concept as that presented to village officials about a year ago when owners asked for and received tax increment financing district funds for renovation costs.
Mayor Craig Johnson said the only difference is a change in name, which was to be in tribute to a different Italian coast: Amalfi. Entrees include eight different pizzas in the $20 range, including the Cefalu, which is topped with Sicilian pesto, mozzarella, smoked scamorza cheese, and infused with eggplant oil. Steaks range from a 10-ounce chopped sirloin for $24 to a 22-ounce bone-in rib-eye for $62.
Owner Tom Cirrincione and son Ben, who also own and operate the neighboring Real Time Sports Bar and Belvedere Events & Banquets, upgraded the 7,500-square-foot restaurant that had been vacant after the abrupt closure of Jimmy's Charhouse in November 2019. A different owner leased the restaurant space from the Cirrincione family.
Village officials agreed last May to provide the public financial assistance -- $450,000 of an estimated $1.1 million in renovation costs -- in hopes of having an upscale restaurant to serve residents. The money came from a special fund controlled by the village in which property taxes above a certain level are diverted from schools and other taxing bodies into development projects.
