Our Story

Our owners grew up in the community, and saw the opportunity to re-invigorate an old bank with a lot of storied history behind it and give it a fresh life. Gaetano’s Vault is an upscale restaurant established in 2022 that sits inside the exact location that was once simultaneously robbed by infamous gangsters Al Capone, John Dillinger, and their respective gangs. Our mission is to provide a fine dining experience for the people of Streator, where they can enjoy first class meals and service while enjoying the ambiance and décor of a setting that speaks to the times of the 1930s.

We pride ourselves on carrying the highest quality of meat and ingredients and putting a delicious and satisfying meal on every customer’s plate. Our prime cut steaks are of the finest quality and guaranteed to satisfy every time. We operate a twenty tap beer wall, seasonally rotating our beers to keep our offerings fresh and exciting as the weather changes. Our bar also has a large assortment of spirits including a wide selection of bourbon and various mixed drink options. We’re always here to make any suggestions or help make sure your dining experience with us is one to remember and talk about.

Immerse yourself in our luxurious setting with a plethora of historic photos and antiques on the walls while enjoying the finest food options, beers, and Bourbon that the Midwest has to offer. We’re proud to have assembled some of the best chefs and wait staff around our area that provide a wonderfully catered dining experience from start to finish. We use only the best ingredients and cooking methods to guarantee a perfect dish; from our prime cut, high quality steaks, to our Italian fare, to everything else that we serve.

Our upstairs is an excellent and accommodating space that is the perfect option to host birthday parties, banquets, or any other event you have in mind. We also offer outdoor dining and live music on our spacious patio that’s perfect for enjoying your meal or drinks in the sun. If you’re feeling lucky, try a spin with one of our Accel Gaming machines and see if you can win it big. No matter what your reason is for walking through our doors, it’s our goal to give you the best experience that makes you want to come back and spend more time with us.

We hope you’ll come bring the whole family for dinner and check out everything we have to offer while enjoying a fine dining experience with a small town charm that you won’t forget. We’re located at 200 E. Main Street in downtown Streator, Illinois.

Some restaurants feed you. Gaetano’s Vault stays with you. From the moment we walked in, everything about this place was firing on all cylinders — the atmosphere, the food, the service. But what truly set the night apart was the story woven into every corner of this extraordinary establishment. The manager deserves his own paragraph. Warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about every guest’s experience, he delivered some of the finest hospitality I have ever encountered at a restaurant — and I don’t say that lightly. He made us feel so welcome, so seen, that we had to stop and take a photo with him before leaving. That almost never happens. My friend Gaetano — who shares a name with the place, which made the whole evening even more magical — was treated like absolute royalty. Watching him light up the entire night was a joy in itself. And the food? The penne alla vodka was outstanding — rich, perfectly balanced, and the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about days later. Pure comfort elevated to an art form. Gaetano’s Vault isn’t just a great restaurant. It’s a great experience — the kind you talk about for years and drag every person you love to. If you are within driving distance. Go.

Gaetano’s Vault is hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever been to — and I mean that wholeheartedly. From the moment I walked in, everything was absolutely perfect. I ordered the mac and cheese with chicken, and wow — it completely blew me away. Rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, and loaded with tender chicken. It’s the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. I’m already thinking about when I can come back for more. But the food is only part of the story. The service was impeccable — attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. You feel like a valued guest from start to finish. Gaetano’s Vault isn’t just a great restaurant — it’s an experience. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!

🏛️ HISTORY WEEK AT GAETANO’S VAULT 🖤
Before it was candlelight dinners and clinking glasses… it was a bank.
Before the music and laughter… it held ledgers, heirlooms, and life savings.
And in 1932, it held one of the most daring robberies in downstate Illinois history.
From bank ➝ robbery ➝ restaurant, these walls have seen it all.
Now we want to hear your chapter in the story.
Did you celebrate a birthday here?
Get engaged under these ceilings?
Host a wedding, shower, reunion, or unforgettable night?
Do you have old family photos from when it was still the bank?
📸 Send your pictures and stories to:
Gaetanosvault@gmail.com
We’ll be featuring memories all week long.
Because The Vault isn’t just a restaurant.
It’s a living story… and you’re part of it. 🖤
