Few things are as comforting as a well-made, hearty, creamy macaroni and cheese. It’s a warm, gooey, satisfying meal that’s like wrapping your tummy in a warm blanket and giving it a cuddle. In Vernon Hills, located less than an hour from Chicago, The Calzone & Macaroni Co is serving up several selections of this iconic dish, taking it to a whole new level. It could very well be the best macaroni and cheese in Illinois!

Don’t let the strip-mall location fool you. Some of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants are found in places just like this. Yummy goodness awaits you inside.
