Made with Love
At Dee-Dee's Beef, we pay homage to our Italian roots by infusing the love and passion of our great-grandmother, Angela Presto, affectionately referred to as Dee-Dee, by her Great-grandchildren, into our authentic Italian beef and Arancini.
Alla Famiglia
Taste Italian Tradition
Welcome to Dee Dee's, a small Italian restaurant located on Green Street at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Founded by brothers Thomas and Peter Vozenilek, Dee Dee's is a testament to their love for serving customers and their passion for delicious food. Inspired by their success managing "Cracked," Thomas and Peter embarked on a culinary journey, drawing inspiration from their grandmother Dee Dee. Our mission is to provide our guests with Italian cuisine that reflects tradition and love in every bite. Specializing in a simple menu of Italian beef and arancini, we invite you to experience the authentic taste of Dee Dee's.
