Lori Alderete and Phaedra Divras, Rogers Park residents since 2002 opened Gruppo di Amici in June 2006.  Their vision was to have a place to simply "bring people together" and serve great Roman style Italian food along with a very specialized Wine & Beer List. Everything that is served has been carefully tasted and approved by both owners. 

The focal point of the dining room is the floor-to-ceiling wood-burning pizza oven.  The oven is set in an open display kitchen, giving diners great views of the pizza chef(s) prepping and making the authentic Roman style, thin crust pizzas. In addition to the pizza, the menu includes such favorites as the Capricciosa salad, Sautéed Mussels in a garlic and white wine, tender baby octopus marinated with lemon, capers, kalamata olives and celery, Calzones, Cornish hen served with mushrooms in a white wine sauce and roasted potatoes.   There are also several nightly specials prepared daily by the Chef.

So, what does "Gruppo di Amici" mean?  The loose translation is "circle of friends."
