Come to Geneva's Tom & Eddie's from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, to sample "The Pineapple Express" and other Geneva High School marketing class burger creations.
The task is simple: create an edible, easily marketable burger for a local establishment to sell to perspective customers. The students of Eric Hatczel's Marketing I class have been given this task to better understand the inner workings of how businesses get their products sold and popularized in a community. "The goal is to really just challenge us as marketing students," said senior Kristen Schrotenboer, 17, "The project tries to get us to think and be creative on how marketing works. Its true purpose is to make us think out of the box and find ways to succeed and be better than our competition." The project tries to capture the fundamental task of a business: to create an original product and make a profit from said project. It's a …

Bistro One West and Pi Pizza close for good, and Isacco Kitchen closes to retool. But other businesses are opening their doors in St. Charles.
If you’ve looked around downtown St. Charles over the past several weeks, you might have noticed there are a few less places to eat. That certainly was noticed by some of St. Charles Patch’s Facebook followers in recents weeks. Pi Pizza Perfection, 102 E. Main St., closed in late October. A city official confirmed the closure but had no details. While its website does not indicate it has closed, calls to the business are met consistently with a busy signal. The restaurant had served pizza, pasta and other Italian fare for more than a decade. Another casualty is Bistro One West, 1 W. Illinois St. St. Charles Patch learned last week the restaurant is closed, and a short, one-sentence statement on Bistro One West’s website adds confirmation…

New Mediterranean restaurant in former Rib House building in Geneva promises a menu that's "a little different than anything else out there."
When it opens at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 18, Geneva's newest restaurant offers the promise of Mediterranean food the likes of which you've maybe never experienced before. Riganato Old World Grille is all about home cooking, and it's not fancy, but it will be "delicious and comforting," says the owner and chef, Jim Nicolaou. Nicolaou—with his family's help—has put his heart and soul into make the former Rib House property at 700 East State St. into a thing of beauty. The exterior has been remodelled, the interior seats 50, with an outdoor patio that seats an additional 20.

Orlando's Pizza is a family favorite.
The Nagel family carried out to Orlando's Pizza Friday night. We do that a lot. We also go for dinner at Orlando's a lot. And we try to get to as many pizza places in Geneva as we possibly can, because they're all great. But we keep going back to Orlando's. Great service, great pizza. One night not so long ago, Paula and the kids went there, and when they varied from their usual selections, the server asked, "No garlic bread tonight?" I just love that kind of friendly, personal service. Today, we're happy to announce that Orlando's Pizza has claimed its Patch listing. By claiming its listing, Orlando's is now able to upload photos and vidoes, provide additional information about its menu and specials, link to its own website and Facebook …
