Pesciolino Osteria in Channahon recently revamped its menu and website and remodeled the restaurant for its September anniversary.

The restaurant opened Sept. 25, 2017.

The goal of Pesciolino, which means “little fish,” was to offer homemade pasta along with fresh fish from “around the globe,” according to a news release from Heritage Corridor Destinations.

Pesciolino Osteria has an upscale, yet casual, modern Mediterranean setting, with a new three-seasons, all-weather patio that accommodates up to 25 guests for a private party, according to the release.

The restaurant is moving away from its strictly a la carte selections to include side options with most of the menu items, according to the release.

Fall signature entrees will include braised octopus, roasted rock lobster, pescatore risotto, Greek-inspired Santorini shrimp and many fresh fish selections.

Pesciolino Osteria also offers aged prime steaks, braised short ribs, lamb and several chicken entrees.
