WARM UP THIS WINTER WITH CIBO RACCONTO'S WEEKLY SPECIALS

(Rosemont, IL)- Whether you're kicking off your workweek or winding down your weekend with family, Rosemont's Cibo Racconto has a delectable dining deal for you. The casual Italian eatery, which is the restaurant extension of the Racconto Italian food import company, serves up weekly specials starting with $4 pasta marinara dishes, available all day on Mondays. Choose from fresh fettuccine, shell-shaped lumache, and Rigatoni cut pasta (reg. $6.99-$7.99), all draped in bursting-with-flavor San Marzano tomato sauce. Return to Cibo Racconto every Tuesday for $5 bottles of imported Italian red or white wine; choices include bottles from Ciccariello Pinot Grigio, Mezzo Chardonnay, Ciccariello Merlot, and Mezzo Cabernet. Pair your pasta, pizza, or the restaurant's signature panizza- a pizza-panini hybrid stuffed with your choice of cheeses, meats, and vegetables- with a delicious Italian wine at an absolutely unbeatable price. Wednesdays bring a dinner deal for two, perfect for a girls' get-together or a welcome midweek date night. For just $20 (excludes tax) after 4:00 p.m., two people can each enjoy a pasta or entrée along with a bottle of the Ciccariello Pinot Grigio, Mezzo Chardonnay, Ciccariello Merlot, or Mezzo Cabernet. Cibo's dinner for two is the perfect way to catch up over a hearty, European-style meal for a steal!

There is a $9 fee for each additional guest, and kids 5 and under eat for free.    Cibo Racconto is the restaurant extension of Racconto, an Italian import company that was started in 1973 by the Mugnolo family. The company has since grown into Chicagoland's top-selling imported Italian pasta brand. Straight-from-Italy offerings include San Marzano tomatoes, olive oils, vinegars, condiments and, of course, pastas imported directly to Chicago from Naples. These fresh and flavorful products serve as the star ingredients in Cibo Racconto's full menu of Italian dishes. Cibo Racconto, which is conveniently located in near northwest suburban Rosemont near O'Hare International Airport, Allstate Arena, and the Rosemont Theatre, serves classic pasta dishes, flavorful sandwiches, stone-baked pizzas, and signature dishes such as the panizza (a pizza-panini hybrid). All creations are family recipes that are handed down through the generations. A full catering menu is available, serving popular boxed lunches, specialty sandwich platters, sides and salads, pastas, and entrees. Cibo Racconto's homemade desserts are also available, including cookie trays, cakes, and other tempting creations.  Cibo Racconto is open Monday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The restaurant seats 70 in total, including 35 guests on a heated, four-season patio.
