After many years of lamenting the close of Arenella in Palatine, I was pleasantly surprised to be told by a co-worker that the chef/owner, Mario Longobardi is now the chef at Canta Napoli in Mount Prospect. The menu, although slightly smaller, has many of the dishes that I had enjoyed at Arenella. Items such as chicken saltimbocca, chicken Arenella and a good selection of pizzas that are cooked in a brick wood-roasted oven. Prices are reasonable and portions are ample. I will happy to be a regular patron after missing the food for several years.
