FIORENTINO'S CUCINA ITALIANA CELEBRATES EIGHT YEARS

After eight years of bringing delicious Italian offerings to Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, Fiorentino's Cucina Italiana is excited to kick off their anniversary celebration on Saturday, June 7, 2014. "We have been lucky to experience much success in the eight years we've been open," says Owner Steven Fiorentino. "It is our loyal customers that we attribute that to and we look forward to what's ahead."  

In honor of Fiorentino's anniversary, the first 500 customers who come into the restaurant from June 7 - June 30 will receive a sealed envelope with a special gift inside that cannot be opened until a future visit. There will be an assortment of surprises, consisting of a free bottle of wine, dessert on the house, get one appetizer get the next one free and so on. The staff at Fiorentino's will also throw in further specials throughout the month, all pertaining to the number eight. Patrons, who like Fiorentino's Facebook page, will also receive a $20 gift card in June to be used during their next visit. The gift card via Facebook, along with the gift given in the restaurant may not be combined; all offers must be used on separate occasions.

Furthermore, this summer the Lakeview favorite has added appetizers, fresh salads, seafood dishes and even more delicious entrees, including theGrilled Lamb Chops alla Romano and Braised Beef Short Ribs. Guests can also plan to dine al fresco on Fiorentino's admired and recognized, enchanting patio -- home to their very own herb garden.

 Diners can enjoy Fiorentino's rustic Italian fare at home as well. The neighborhood gem delivers, and is currently offering a delivery deal for direct call-in orders or curbside pickup, Sunday through Thursday. Orders can be placed by calling 773.244.3026.
