“La Tasca Tapas, long a presence in downtown Arlington Heights, will close at the end of February before retooling and reopening as Paréa Greek Kitchen. Co-owner Peter Sarantopoulos said while the restaurant has a loyal following, business never quite recovered after the pandemic.”

“La Tasca will serve its last meal Feb. 28 before renovations begin for the new Greek restaurant, which will involve new signage and awnings, repainting, and other cosmetic changes, Sarantopoulos said.”

“Paréa — meaning a gathering of friends and family in Greek — is expected to open weeks later with all the bells and whistles of a restaurant you might find in Greektown. That means flaming cheese served tableside, among other classic dishes, Sarantopoulos said.”

“It’ll be the first Greek restaurant for Sarantopoulos, who grew up in Greece, and his business partner Danny Barbarigos, who also has Greek heritage. They got their start in the restaurant business working for fellow Dining Out Enterprises investor Jimmy Panagakis’ Jimmy’s Charhouse. They later went on to open Johnny’s Kitchen & Tap in Glenview and Draft Picks in Mount Prospect and Naperville, among other ventures.”
