Bella Milano is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and the occasion is far too big to be contained over a few days or even a week. The original location of the Italian restaurant, at 1063 S. State Route 157 in Edwardsville, is marking the anniversary with several months of specials and a party on Nov. 10.

The restaurant also has locations in O’Fallon (opened in 2012) and in Springfield (opened in 2005). The owners of Bella Milano are business partners Craig Kalogerou and Debbie Guarino, wife of the late Sam Guarino who started the restaurant with Kalogerou in 2003.
