What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On "Funky Fresh" (aired 2024-12-27), Guy Fieri visited Tortello, a handmade-pasta restaurant and pastificio in Chicago's Wicker Park area, co-owned by Dario Monni and Jill Gray and described on the business's site as chef-driven. Tortello operates at 1746 W Division St, and its own website lists a grocery counter, pasta-making classes, private events and catering, and custom pasta orders alongside its dine-in menu. According to Tortello's website, checked September 2026, the restaurant's online ordering system and gift-card sales remain active, and its full slate of services — from classes to catering — is still listed as currently offered. No news coverage of a closure, sale, or relocation was found during this check, and the restaurant's address and contact information are unchanged from when it appeared on the show.
