About Altiro Group

We’re a family-owned restaurant group rooted in Northern Illinois, crafting Latin fusion cuisine inspired by the bold, vibrant flavors of Spain, Mexico, and South America.

Our menu is made for sharing—tapas-style plates that spark conversation and bring people together. From modern takes on beloved classics to our signature house-made sangria and inventive craft cocktails, every bite and sip is infused with flavor, creativity, and connection.

We source with intention:

• Local ingredients whenever possible

• Hormone-free meats from Slagel Family Farm

• Grass-fed poultry

• Agave-based sweeteners

• Fresh fruits and vegetables delivered daily

With distinctive concepts like Amore Mio, Red Room on NY, and Enigma, Altiro Group pairs culinary artistry with genuine hospitality. Each restaurant tells its own story through vibrant food, inviting spaces, and memorable experiences.

At our heart, we believe in the magic of bringing people together—one plate, one cocktail, one story at a time.
