About Us Restaurant, Catering & Events in Elkhorn
Sperino’s History
Maiale ran for Walworth County sheriff in one election and though he lost, he continued running a successful Italian restaurant. Right before retiring and moving to Florida in 1976, Maiale sold Sperino’s to his nephew, Carlo Ippolito. The Ippolitio family moved from Chicago to Wisconsin in order to operate the restaurant over the next 21 years. Over the years that followed, Sperino’s Spaghetti House underwent renovations and became Sperino’s Little Italy dinner dining. Sperino’s Pepperoni Pub and the Monte Carlo Room banquet hall came soon after. By the 1990’s, the restaurant had become quite an operation.
Chris and Sherry Aune met the Ippolitos in 1997, and decided to buy Sperino’s that very same year. While not Italian, Chris still had many years of solid experience in the hospitality, food, and beverage industry. The two of them took on the many operations that came with a busy, popular restaurant. The rest is living history! The Aunes have been here for more than 20 years. They have expanded Sperino’s carryout and delivery services, grew Sperino’s Accustom Catering business, and renovated the Monte Carlo Room in the meantime. In 2012, Sperino’s Pizza Room was transformed into Sperino’s Pepperoni Pub, which now serves lunch and dinner.
Chris and Sherry’s son and daughter-in-law, Cory and Kristin Aune, and Colin Aune soon began helping with the many operations of Sperino’s. We are truly a family business! Our goal is to continue making Sperino’s a comfortable, clean place to come for a friendly atmosphere and delicious food. Our pizza is still handmade from the crust to the sauce, down to the sausage from old, beloved Italian recipes. The combined years of cooking and service experience amongst the staff members here is a blessing.
We hope you feel at home and enjoy your meal. 100 percent customer satisfaction is our goal. Thank you for coming in! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
