Restaurant Expected For Elmhurst's Old Silverado Site

ELMHURST, IL – A construction project started recently at the site of the old Silverado Grill in Elmhurst.

The work is taking place at 447 S. Spring Road, which is part of the Spring Road Business District. The old restaurant has been leveled.

The taxpayer of record for the property is Silverado Spring LLC, with Anthony Gambino III listed as the owner.

In an interview Wednesday, Gambino said he had no tenant yet, but he expects it to be a restaurant.

The project should be done by year's end, he said. He also has Doc's Victory Pub, Golden Boy Barbecue and Victory Meat & Seafood in Elmhurst. Doc's is in the Spring Road district.

In February, Elmhurst released a list of commercial projects in review. It indicated that Parlor Pizza, which has three locations in Chicago, was being planned for the Silverado site.

The city has since updated its information, saying the general plan is a restaurant.

On May 9, the Spring Road Business Association posted a photo on Facebook of the beginning of the project.

"Sometimes it takes time to start – new development coming to Spring Road," the association wrote.

Commenters asked what was coming, but the group did not say.

Silverado, which opened in Elmhurst in the 1980s, closed in fall 2022.
