Italian Village Restaurants is a hospitality company operating three Italian dining venues in Chicago, Illinois, including The Village, Vivere, and Bar Sotto, all located at 71 W Monroe. Founded by Alfredo Capitanini, who arrived in the United States in 1924, the business has evolved from a single establishment into a family-founded group that has expanded over successive generations." The organization serves diners seeking traditional Italian cuisine in a casual yet refined setting, with a focus on enduring, neighborhood-rooted dining experiences in downtown Chicago. The company positions itself within the hospitality industry as a multi-location restaurant group rooted in Italian culinary traditions and sustained by a long-standing local presence. A notable recent development is a partnership announced in March 2019 with Castello di Monsanto to create a private-label bottling for Italian Village, reflecting efforts to extend its brand and product offerings without altering its established restaurant footprint.
