Welcome to Cuzzin's

Three years ago, Carl and Paula Dote brought you Danny's in Melrose Park, recognized by Pat Bruno of the Sun-Times and the Channel 11 award-winning show "Check, Please!" Carl and Paula were also featured in an extended interview on a WTTW-11 show in early February 2010 that paid tribute to popular "mom and pop" restaurants in Chicagoland. In the same month, they opened their second location in Des Plaines called Cuzzin's!

For over 35 years, Carl, as Catering Director, and Paula, as Chef de Cuisine, have wowed clients through their business Cuzzin's Catering. Today, those clients no longer have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy the incredible home-cooking and outstanding gourmet dishes prepared in Paula's kitchen because it's now available six days a week at Cuzzin's.

Cuzzin's is conveniently located at River Road and Oakton in Des Plaines with plenty of free parking adjacent to the restaurant. Open for lunch, dinner and special gatherings, food critics are already making their way to Cuzzin's and their unbiased opinions will be regularly posted on this website to help you decide how to choose from the amazing menu choices!

Proud to be a new member of the Des Plaines business community, everyone at Cuzzin's is grateful for the warm welcome they received from the Mayor, Aldermen and a thriving Chamber of Commerce. Stop in and see us and join our extended family of "regulars" who appreciate a generous portion, an affordable price and great service.
