Capannari Ice Cream is the combined venture of Jim & Meg Capannari and Ken & Katie Dix (Katie and Meg are sisters). Since opening the doors in June 2001, they have catapulted their gourmet ice cream shop to one of Illinois’ most respected small businesses, earning the honor of “Best Ice Cream in Chicago” from Chicago Magazine only 1 year after opening. Today, Capannari Ice Cream employs over 40 people to bring “Chicago’s Best” ice cream to the masses.
