Giardino Featured on ABC7 Chicago for Aurora Restaurant Week 2026

We’re excited to share that Giardino Trattoria & Pizzeria was recently featured on ABC7 Chicago as one of the highlighted restaurants participating in Aurora Restaurant Week 2026.

This citywide culinary event is returning for its second year after a successful debut. Organized by the City of Aurora, Restaurant Week invites residents and visitors to explore the city’s diverse and growing food scene through specially priced menus and limited-time offerings.

Aurora as a Dining Destination during Aurora Restaurant Week

According to Downtown Economic Development Manager Danielle Tufano, the goal of Restaurant Week is to position Aurora as a true dining destination in the western suburbs. Last year’s response was overwhelmingly positive, prompting the city to expand the event in 2026 with more restaurants, more cuisine options, and greater visibility.

Our Featured Menu

At Giardino, our Head Chef Martin Balderas has created a unique prix-fixe menu just for Restaurant Week. It includes a selection of classic and contemporary Italian dishes that reflect our passion for quality ingredients, traditional flavors, and creative presentation.

Whether it’s your first time dining with us or you’re a returning guest, this menu offers a curated taste of what makes Giardino a local favorite.

We are offering these featured dishes for a limited time during Restaurant Week. Seating fills quickly during this event, so we recommend making a reservation or arriving early.

Located in the Heart of Aurora

Giardino is proud to be part of a vibrant culinary community in Aurora, Illinois. We welcome guests from nearby cities including Naperville, Batavia, Geneva, Montgomery, and Oswego. Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to visit us, enjoy something new, and support the local food scene.
