TOPA TAVERN & GRILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Krusinski Construction Company has completed interior renovations for TOPA Tavern & Grill at 944 Elk Grove Town Center in Elk Grove Village, Ill.

Krusinski began work in June on the restaurant, which will have its grand opening on November 12. The building, which previously housed Cucina Roma, was vacant for the last two years.

The 10, 000-square-foot restaurant has seating capacity for approximately 240 people. TOPA features a large bar with 20 stools, three booths and four tables, as well as private dining capability for eight to 80.

Krusinski demolished several walls, the existing bar, added new flooring and ceilings, and replaced all kitchen appliances. The building’s exterior received new awnings and signage.

TOPA is owned by APPL Group 1, LLC. One of the group’s partners, Peter Diaz, is the co-owner of Rosewood Restaurant in Rosemont. TOPA was named after Diaz’s sons, Tony and Paul, who will serve as the restaurant’s managers.

Diaz calls the restaurant a “great American table,” citing a blend of cuisines including Italian, Asian and Mediterranean along with American dishes such as grilled steak.

Andrew J. Johnson was the project manger and Chuck Onik was the project superintendent. Royce Ring of Plan B Group was the architect.
