Fast Casual:
The owners of Oak Brook, Ill.-based Ravioli Oli have opened the restaurant’s first location created to bridge the gap between authentic, hand-crafted recipes served in a fast, modern and affordable restaurant.
The restaurant was opened six weeks by Jeff Barry.
“I love cooking for people and opening a restaurant in an area that brings people together was really important to me,†Barry said. “Meeting new people, supporting schools, giving back to the community, it’s all part of being a good business resident and a great neighbor.â€
The menu at Ravioli Oli features fresh, hand rolled ravioli filled with sautéed veggies, seasoned meats, and artisan cheeses, along with summer salads, meatballs, fried calamari and more. Ravioli-inspired items include Spinach Artichoke Ravioli with Pesto Sauce, Cheese Ravioli with marinara sauce and Portabella Mushroom Ravioli with marinara sauce.
