Two New Plainfield Restaurants To Break The Cabin Fever

PLAINFIELD, IL — It's cold, snowy and it gets dark way too early — we've probably got quite a bit of winter left, groundhog notwithstanding. So, if you're looking for something to break the cabin fever, why not try one of these great new restaurants?

Giambotta Pizza
This wood-fired pizzeria recently replaced Volar on Lockport Street in Plainfield's Historic Downtown District. Owned by Robert Rovito, who also owns nearby Capri Sogno, upgrades to the building passed the Village Plan Commission and Historic Preservation Commission last August. Renovations included creating a more prominent terrace, updating the building's facade with a large window to let in more natural light and offer a clear view of the wood-fired pizza oven, and stonework along the street.

Reviewers have called the restaurant "cozy" and praised the unique street foods on offer as well as the speed of service. Currently, Giambotta only has three reviews between Google and Yelp, but they're all five stars.

Crab Boil 59
This restaurant just opened this week on Route 59, and it looks fantastic. Specializing in seafood, the restaurant is great for families and large groups, offers outdoor seating, table service and take-out, according to its Facebook page. Walk-ins are welcome.

"They have great food and extremely kind staff," one reviewer wrote. "Would definitely recommend."

The restaurant offers crab legs, shrimp and crawfish by the pound, along with an assortment of sides and appetizers. Try it and let us know what you think.
