Two Italians Deli & Pizzeria recently opened in the strip mall at Ackman and Lakewood roads.
Two Italians Deli & Pizzeria owner Joseph Giannini has brought his popular Chicago-based food truck business to the northwest suburbs. Giannini started his Two Italians food truck business two years ago in Chicago. While the food truck is successful — it recently was named a runner-up as the best food truck by the Chicago Reader — Giannini looked to expand by opening a storefront location. That dream became a reality recently when he opened Two Italians Deli & Pizzeria, 9471 Ackman Road, Lake in the Hills. “I wanted to start a food truck first to make sure I had a solid idea,” Giannini said. “The idea behind a restaurant is that you have a menu, and you can decide what works and what doesn’t work. You can have people who come back time …

LITH Patch gives restaurant at Lakewood and Ackman roads three out of four stars.
If there's a restaurant that feels like Lake in the Hills, where the atmosphere exudes friendliness and neighborly intimacy, it's La Trattoria. And the best thing? The food tastes good. Perched at the corner of a strip mall at Ackman and Lakewood roads, the eatery greets customers with long red letters showcasing its name, La Trattoria, which simply means "a small restaurant." When I crossed the restaurant's threshold, I was immediately met by a smiling woman who came out from behind a long bar. "Erin?" she asked without prompting, remembering the name on the reservation. She turned out to be Theresa Scandurra, co-owner of the restaurant with her husband, Mariano. The bar area she brought us through had flat-screen TVs tuned to a college …
