A true family business, Sapori owner Antonio Vitello comes from a long line of pizzeria owners. He also hand-built the wood fire oven they cook in.

Gather

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.
