About Ariston Cafe
The Ariston Cafe is a near-century-old piece of history that technically predates Route 66 as it was built on the road's predecessor, Route 4. We were established in 1924 and moved to Route 66 in 1935, less than 10 years after the highway opened. We're proud to call Litchfield, Illinois, our home, and to share in the rich history of one of the most famous stretches of asphalt in the country.
