Our Story
Our History…
Lori Jozwiak never thought she’d want her own restaurant. But, when the restaurant business is ingrained in one’s family – her dad Gino Pollari, who owned Two Guys From Italy in Highwood – its tough to avoid eventually winding up in the industry. Lori knew the countless hours her dad spent making Two Guys a success, yet she was still drawn to the life
After raising her own children, Lori opened Lauretta’s Italian Bake Shop & Café in Mundelein. Lauretta’s started out small, catering corporate lunches and providing a small lunch menu in a small space in downtown Mundelein.
After only a year, business was brisk and it became apparent she needed to expand the menu and space. Lauretta’s moved to a bigger location, 709 S. Lake St, and introduced a full menu, which featured seafood and pasta in addition to the original gourmet sandwiches. Lauretta’s also expanded her catering.
In 2021, Lauretta’s moved to its current location in Grayslake and added pizza to it menu of pasta, sandwiches, cookies and pastries.
