PROPOSED RESOLUTION
HONORING IGNOTZ RISTORANTE’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY
WHEREAS, Ignotz Ristorante (“Ignotz”) is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant located in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, Ignotz opened its doors in 1999 by Joan and Roger Wroblewski who intended to bring traditional Italian cuisine to the communities of the Southwest side of Chicago; and
WHEREAS, Roger lived in the Heart of Chicago his whole life and always dreamed of opening a restaurant; and
WHEREAS, through Rogers's passion, drive, and determination, he made this dream come true with his wife, Joan by opening a restaurant and naming it Ignotz Ristorante after Joan’s late father, Ignac Glavac; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Ignac Glavac taught those around him the value of hard work, dedication, and passion for cooking. His legacy lives on in every dish Ignotz’s serves; and
WHEREAS, Ignotz is still family-owned and run after 25 years. Roger and Joan’s three daughters, Alexis, Olivia, and Isabella have worked at Ignotz and have their names featured on the menu; and
WHEREAS, Ignotz’s delicious traditional Italian dishes have unique names, some prominently highlight aspects of Cook County government such as their State Attorney’s salad, Public Defender pasta, and their Court Reporter sandwich; and
WHEREAS, Ignotz provides a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Italy and proudly features colorful murals. Ignotz has become a staple in the community and has made quite a name for themselves- many of their customers travel from afar to enjoy the atmosphere, celebrate milestones in their lives, and create family traditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of Commissioners does hereby recognize and honor the 25th Anniversary of Ignotz Ristorante; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this text be spread upon the proceedings of this Honorable Body and that a suitable copy of this resolution is presented to Ignotz Ristorante in honor of its 25th anniversary.
