About us

We are a locally owned Italian restaurant brining you the finest homemade pasta and Italian dishes to the Chicagoland area.

It started with one simple idea...

To provide a superior dining experience through exceptional handcrafted Italian-inspired dishes, and excellent service, perfectly complemented with a quaint inviting atmosphere.
We know what makes restaurants here great, but we wanted to take it a step further. We invite YOU to come to check out what makes Coarse Italian special!
