Mino's Italian

Iconic/NotableWinnetka (suburb) · Italian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 985 Green Bay Rd, Winnetka, IL 60093

Eric and Audrey Fosse, with partners Michael Finnerty and Glenn Deutsch, opened Mino's Italian near Hubbard Woods in 2017 inside a converted auto repair shop -- 5,000 square feet across three dining rooms and a patio built directly into the old garage's bones, a real adaptive reuse rather than a ground-up build.

$$

A 2018 trade piece on the opening described the transformation bluntly: an old gas station and garage turned into what it called a hip trattoria, built to bring family, friends, and neighbors together over Italian cooking, with an emphasis on fresh, well-sourced produce. Eric Fosse later went on to open Glencoe's Guildhall as well.

The restaurant runs dinner service only, closed Mondays, with reservations through SevenRooms for parties up to six and a separate request form for larger groups; curbside pickup runs through Toast and delivery through Grubhub.
