Celebrity Chef Giada De Laurentiis is set to bring her renowned cuisine to two Illinois casinos—Hollywood Casino Joliet and Hollywood Casino Aurora. The chef will offer her signature dishes at these locations, marking her latest venture in the food industry.
New Restaurant Concepts at Both Casinos
De Laurentiis is excited about the opportunity to design and build these new dining establishments from scratch. She has named them “Sorella” and “Sorrellina,” which mean “sister” and “little sister” in Italian. These names reflect her vision for the two restaurants, with each offering a unique yet complementary dining experience.
Sorellina will open at the upcoming Hollywood Casino Joliet, which is currently under construction and expected to debut in the fourth quarter of this year. Sorella will be featured at the Hollywood Casino Aurora, slated to open in 2026.
Exciting New Dishes
Chef De Laurentiis is currently crafting the menus for both restaurants, ensuring they offer a blend of fresh flavors and her signature Italian-inspired creations. One dish she plans to feature is the popular lemon pizza, which has been a hit at her Scottsdale restaurant.
“We’re excited to bring that to Joliet and Aurora,” De Laurentiis said. “It’s a crowd favorite in Scottsdale, and I can’t wait for everyone to try it here.”
With these new restaurants, De Laurentiis continues to expand her culinary footprint, offering her fans even more opportunities to enjoy her delicious dishes in the heart of Illinois’ casino scene.
