Sfera Sicilian Street Food

Open daily in Edgewater

10/30/2024

This is Daniela and Steven, Co-Founders of Sfera Sicilian Street Food. They embarked on their culinary journey together in 2018, turning their entrepreneurial spirit and love for authentic cuisine into Sfera Sicilian Street Food. Their venture began at local farmers markets where they introduced their now-signature item, Arancini. With growing popularity, they transitioned to a ghost kitchen, eventually opening their first brick-and-mortar location in Edgewater, Chicago, in 2022.

Sfera's culinary excellence and unique offerings quickly gained recognition, including being highlighted by the New York Times as a key stop when visiting Chicago. For Daniela and Steven, this was an acknowledgment of their dedication to bringing the vibrant flavors and culture of Sicily to the Chicago food scene.

Every day, they feel grateful for the opportunity to share their passions with the community and to turn their dream into a celebrated reality. Through Sfera, Daniela and Steven continue to expand the appreciation of the Sicilian food culture while creating unforgettable dining experiences.

Quintessentially Sicilian, unmistakably Chicagoan

Sfera Sicilian Street Food began as a collaboration between Steven and Daniela after a chance meeting at the gym. They took their memories of casual dining abroad; Daniela's summers in Sicily with her family and Steven's experience living in Europe and created what they hope is both quintessentially Sicilian and unmistakably Chicagoan. Taking the recipes, techniques and food culture of Sicily and utilizing the best of the Midwest harvest to create Sfera.
