In the timeless words of Shakespeare, "What's in a name?" Naming a business is both an art and a science, blending creativity with strategic thinking. One must carefully think of something that's catchy and will stick for years to come. Oftentimes, it comes from a family name, a memory, or something unique to the establishment. When the name is well-chosen, it creates an instant connection.

Antico Posto is a cozy Italian restaurant and wine bar in Oakbrook Center and part of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. When choosing the name, the team at Lettuce Entertain You wanted the restaurant to feel like it had always been there. Antico Posto, which translates to "the old spot" felt like the perfect fit. When you walk in, you'll find a trattoria-style ambiance that makes your dining experience warm and inviting. 

Antico Posto is known for serving true Italian classics. The menu at Antico Posto is chef-driven, meaning it evolves based on seasonal ingredients and culinary creativity. The chefs regularly introduce new dishes and specials, so there’s always something fresh to try, even for regular visitors. The restaurant prides itself on using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Start your meal with crisp, fresh Italian bread with house made giardiniera and their signature olive oil. The extensive wine list offers both Italian and domestic wines. The house specialties include house-made pasta, like the ricotta gnocchi and ravioli, and hand-stretched brick-oven pizza. Don't forget desert at the end of your meal, like the highly-praised tiramisu or the gelato.
