Kevin DulinApril 1, 2018Such incredible pastas. Really loved the risotto and gnocchi. Fantastic wine glasses as well.
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 2, 2016Chef Tony Mantuano and his team execute perfect and delicious dishes that excite the palate, and leave you wanting more. The space and interior is simply lovely, and certainly adds to the experience. Read more
Dominic RiosFebruary 19, 2019Spiaggia offers two 5 or 8 course tasting menus or an a la carte option (3 courses suggested). The plates are exquisite in both taste & aesthetics. The staff is friendly & extremely accommodating.
Chicago TribuneDecember 31, 2014If you're looking to go fancy then this is certainly one of the best places to do it. Reservations will have to be secured months ahead of time. Certainly good for a romantic date night. Read more
Paulo SantosSeptember 18, 2014The lambs leg... Whew Soo good and the service here was A1! They gave us free dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary too!
Theodore KimDecember 1, 2011My absolute favorite restaurant in the entire United States. The service is divine. And so is the menu. Our experience included Colorado lamb chops, fluffy gnocchi and a mascarpone dessert to die for.
Katie O'TooleDecember 3, 2012Delicious food, outstanding service, & pricey. The quality holds up to the $. Overall, a wonderful fine dining experience in the city! It's deserving of its James beard awards and Michelin award!
Chicago magazineMay 8, 2012Crescenza-filled ravioletto with porcini mushrooms is stunning, as is wood-roasted black cod with basil-fed snails. There’s a great cheese program, but it’s hard to ignore the huckleberry brioche. Read more
Michelin Travel & LifestyleNovember 25, 2013Try bay scallops with uni + caviar, or venison loin in foie gras sauce. Oenophiles can take a sippable tour of Italy. – Green Guide Editor- Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011For a romantic dinner, one of the very private booths is ideal. However, if you are a foodie, a table by the glass-enclosed exhibition kitchen is great too. - Inspector
J ChapelaOctober 21, 2016Ecellent restaurant ... foie gras salad with prosciutto and the gnocchi with truffle sauce amazing
GourmetLiveOctober 19, 2010Tony Mantuano outdoes himself w a trio of appetizers: zucchini flowers stuffed with mozz; cuttlefish eggs with osetra caviar; & a combination of white truffle & a tartare of aged prime strip steak.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Indulgent, fine-dining Italian is the name of the game at one of downtown's loveliest dining rooms opened by chef Tony Mantuano and lead by Sarah Grueneberg, runner-up on "Top Chef: Texas." Read more
Bill McGowanJune 14, 2018I wouldn’t mind a pretentious menu if the food was decent. But the agnolotti was a weird combination of gummy and undercooked. Not sure how they managed something so contradictory but they did.
danielle paganoDecember 10, 2010Be sure to try the ne Birre Artiginale menu featuring craft beers from Italy. I'm sampling the Re Ale Birra del Borgo with flavors of baked orange and a caramel honey finish.
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010A sister cafe to the impressive Italian fine-dining venue, the cafe boasts lake views and consistently delicious fare, such as the gnocchi tossed with green beans, potatoes, and pesto.
- Chicago TribuneJanuary 6, 2017The restaurant offers tasting menus ($95 and $160), but a la carte selections, available in the lounge, will give you a sense of the experience. Read more
suneelMay 8, 2017The farinata should be shared by more than one person. All pastas are A+. Skip the extremely bitter espresso
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 28, 2012A later lunch is your best chance at experiencing the culinary creations of chefs Tony Mantuano and Sarah Grueneberg. The restaurant waitstaff recommends booking after 1pm or later. Read more
Anja ObradovicMay 8, 2018Number 1 Italian restaurant in Chicago! Steak with truffles meal to remember!
ToryBurchApril 18, 2011Food critics (and President Obama) will argue it's the best Italian restaurant in the country. Order any of the pasta dishes—they're all amazing.
Ricky SherrillMay 21, 2015Do try this place. Had a great evening ....good food and a nice wine list.
Raja'a S AlsDecember 24, 2015I was in the cafe every thing was excellent the service, the food, the taste
Dana LondonDecember 31, 2013FANTASTIC service, beautiful room, and incredible views! (And the food is good too!) :-)
The FeastJune 9, 2011Not only is this restaurant a Chicago institution, but its also a Presidential pick. The First Family is known to hit up this James Beard Award-winning restaurant when passing through the Windy City.
Aneta AllenOctober 18, 2011"Four star Italian cuisine" Entrees like braised lobster and strip steak with 50-year-old balsamic vinegar entice
Must try the Honeyed Duck breast & Orange Mandarin, Grapefruit or Passion Fruit Sorbetti! Spiaggia's Chef Tony Mantuano is awesome.
Emily HoltynJuly 28, 2012Everything is delicious, everyone is super friendly, can't wait to come back.
Emily ParkAugust 25, 2010The Crudo Della Spiaggia is amazing! Go for the tasting menu! A great place to take a significant other!
Colin CJuly 6, 2010Spiaggia is one of my favorite spots! Amazing service, food & atmosphere. Looking for a hot nightclub for drinks & a little after-dinner mischief? Check out Manor, 642 N. Clark
Shannon JeropkeFebruary 17, 2017Chef Tony Mantuano was nominated for the 2017 Outstanding Chef James Beard Award
Ryan VaughanAugust 19, 2011Wild Boar Gnocchi was out of this world. So were the prawns. Great hidden gem
