Ascione Bistro opened at 8006 Lincoln Ave. in downtown Skokie, the second location for the restaurant owned by third-generation restaurant owner Alex Argirov and his wife, Lauren Lucchesi, the Chicago Tribune reported. At 5,000 square feet, the Skokie Ascione is much bigger than the original Hyde Park location, and includes a 24-seat bar, patio seating and semi-open-air seating. The menu features generations-old Lucchesi family recipes from southern Italy. “We wanted to expand our business and (were) just looking to do something close to our house,” Lucchesi told the newspaper. “Something for our friends, something for our family and people in the area to enjoy.”
