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.


About Altiro Founders

Mexican slang for being on top of it / on it!
— Altiro

Former professional soccer player of Mexican teams, Executive Chef Roberto Avila went from real estate guru in Mexico to restauranteur in Illinois with his wife, Erika Villanueva who is the interior designer and special events coordinator of Altiro's restaurants.

Roberto has been successful in every journey that he has embarked in. What is the key to his success? It is simple. Erika says, "The motto my husband lives by is Love and Passion.

This motto is reflected in the culture at Altiro's restaurants, from their interior decor, dish presentations, menu development to their source of their ingredients and warm customer service.

The secret ingredients that makes their menu delish are LOVE and PASSION!

Buen provecho!
