Chef’s Day Out Jim Lederer, Bluegrass Ravinia Park unveils a new two-story Dining Pavilion this season, featuring a variety of menu options including an elegant small-plate restaurant on the second floor that gives diners a panoramic view of Ravinia’s famous lawn. Chef Matt del Regno, who has been with Levy Restaurants for eight years, is now in his third season as head chef at Ravinia. He is justifiably proud of the brand-new, 15,000-square-foot kitchen for the 50,000-square- foot-facility. The direction of the food will be fresh, organic, sustainable products that are cutting edge to today’s diners. The freshness and quality of ingredients along with high-tech equipment allows Matt to execute speedy dining with top-shelf standards. “It is like a dream come true to work in a brand new kitchen, and in such a beautiful setting. What more could anyone ask?” The building’s second story boasts the new Park View Restaurant offering a sophisticated dining experience. “Quartets” of beautifully matched appetizers, entrees and desserts will be perfect for sharing, with flights of wine paired with each course. Menu items include seared diver sea scallops, dry-aged tournedos of beef, spring pea soup and frisée and roasted pears. There’s seating for 180 people with optional seating for another 70 guests on a rooftop terrace. The Park View will also be the home to Ravinia’s first full-service bar. The ground floor will house the new Mirabelle Restaurant with Levy’ trademarked Chef’s Table, a gourmet buffet encompassing flavors from around the world. Updated daily, sample items include salmon with wild mushrooms and imported and domestic cheese displays. Mirabelle will seat 220 diners indoors, 90 on a covered veranda and an additional 50 on an outdoor patio. (Reservations: 847-432-7550.) 40 / Summer 2007 PHOTO AND RENDERING: Courtesy of Ravinia Festival Lots of flexible take-out options will be on the main floor at Le Café, with three different sub-divisions that promise “different foods for different moods.” The Amber Grill purveys the Ravinia steak sandwich, rotisserie chicken and garlic parmesan fries; 360 Sizzle will have Szechwan beef skewers and Asian won ton nachos; and Pie Squared will dish up a variety of brick-oven pizzas with such toppings as fresh mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, and wild mushroom and brie. In Le Café and in the existing Carousel structure, will be the Park Market, grab-and-go refrigerated shopping sections where patrons can build their own Ravinia picnics. The Park Market will also carry a selection of beers, wine and sodas. Mike Rudolph, the owner of Highland Park’s Il-Forno Pizza & Pasta, is currently serving the third generation of “The Original Pizza on the North Shore Est. 1953.” Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the 496 Old Elm location was opened in 1972. Mike (by the menu above), who managed the store from 1974, purchased the business in 1986. That’s “Little Louie” Bonelli and Mike (inset) in a well-sauced photo from 1987.
