Gaetano’s Vault

Our Take

Gaetano’s Vault is the downtown Streator restaurant with the best backstory in its name: it occupies the former Union Bank of Streator building on East Main Street, and the ‘vault’ isn’t just branding. The menu leans Italian-American, which suits a building with that much character, and it’s become a go-to for date nights, celebrations and family dinners that call for something a step above everyday. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday and keeps lunch-through-dinner hours the rest of the week, with a shorter Sunday. It’s a Chamber of Commerce member, and its reviews suggest a steady local following. If you’re bringing out-of-town guests and want to show off downtown Streator’s architecture along with a solid plate of pasta, this is the obvious recommendation. Holiday hours vary, by the restaurant’s own note, so call before planning around a special date.
