NAPERVILLE, Ill., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Daniel J. Slack, president of Calamos Real Estate LLC, announced that the latest Stefani Signature Restaurant -- Riva Naperville -- will open at the new CityGate Centre, near I-88 and Route 59 in Naperville, Ill., April 19, 2006.
While the Riva on Navy Pier offers a view of the Lakefront, the new restaurant, Riva Naperville, offers vistas of a private lake and a beautiful skyline in the distance. The dining and entertainment venue located adjacent to Calamos Investments(R) new headquarters provides an exciting setting for the restaurant, with its expanses of glass and soaring ceilings, as well as live entertainment.
Riva Naperville will offer west suburban diners the same exciting atmosphere and steak and seafood menu with an Italian flair that Riva has delivered for 10 years. Riva Naperville will be open for dinner on Wednesday, April 19 and for lunch and dinner starting on Thursday, April 20, 2006.
Riva Naperville is part of CityGate Centre, a mixed-use project being developed by Calamos Real Estate. As currently planned, the project will, upon completion, encompass 31 acres and include approximately 1,000,000 square feet of Class A office space, 150,000 square feet of upscale restaurants and shops, a boutique hotel and a center for the performing arts.
"We expect Riva Naperville to be just as successful as all of Phil Stefani's Signature Restaurants, whether it's Riva, Tuscany, 437 Rush or Tavern on Rush, Phil Stefani brings the same commitment to exceptional service and fine food," said Slack. "Like other Stefani restaurants, we expect Riva Naperville to develop a loyal following."
"Being part of the CityGate Center is exciting for us," said Phil Stefani. "Not only will the restaurant be in an exceptional space, but the overall mixed-use environment is appealing as well."
A hometown success, Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants is celebrating its 25th anniversary, operating 18 diverse venues in Chicago.
