"Trmonto is a blend of mad scientist and magician in the kitchen. He is innovative, creative and somewhat an illusionist" - Pat Bruno, Chicago Sun-Times
Trmonto was named Best Chef : Midwest Region in 2002 by The James Beard Foundation, following up on a Best New Restaurant nomination from The Foundation in 2000.
"What is most captivating about TRU is the irrepressible creative energy of Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand, the partners who own the restaurant . Mr. Tramonto oversees the savory side of the menu, while Ms. Gand handles desserts; both create delicious original dishes that look as if they belong in an art museum."
- Dennis Ray Wheaton, New York Times

"Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand,
the dynamic husband-wife team
that created a sensation as the
original chefs of Trio in Evanston,
are back (in partnership with Rich Melman)
with Tru, which is every bit the
fine-dining shrine that one would
expect from these culinary heavyweights."
