Rosie's Sidekick Sandwich Shop (RSSS), a much-loved eatery in Logan Square renowned for its gourmet sandwiches and Italian specialties, has expanded to the suburbs with a new location in Schaumburg. The shop, owned and run by Freddy Pecoraro, continues a family tradition of creating delicious, homemade food using high-quality ingredients.
In the heart of Sicily, a young Joe and Rosie Pecoraro dreamed of a new life across the Atlantic. Armed with cherished family recipes and unwavering determination, they embarked on their American adventure in the mid-1960s. Their journey led them to Chicago, where they laid the foundation for a legacy that would span generations.
Little did they know that their kitchen would become a crucible for a budding chef. Freddy Pecoraro, as a mere child, found himself immersed in the intoxicating world of flavors and aromas. These early experiences ignited a passion that would shape his future.
With a focus on patron satisfaction and community involvement, RSSS offers a menu filled with classic Italian-American dishes, each with a unique modern twist. From delectable sandwiches to homemade meatballs, the shop has something to satisfy every palate and pique your culinary curiosity.
"We are thrilled to share our love for food with the Schaumburg community," said Pecoraro. "Our aim is to create a warm and welcoming environment where people can savor great food and feel like part of our extended family."
