Surprisingly Anticlimactic – Have always heard great things about this place, but never went until recently. Decor has a kind of Carnival cruise line dining room feel to it. More just elegantly bland than cheesy. Service is what you'd expect...top notch. The pasta course was superb, but the main (veal chop $42) was the smallest I'd ever seen and the fattiest I'd ever tasted. And the taste itself didn't was very ordinary. I felt annoyed afterwards and I didn't even pay for it. It's one thing to charge these prices for near pe... read more
Great culinary experience – Spiaggia was such a great experience. The food was great and the service very experienced, knowledgeable, and attentive. I ordered the tasting menu, which proved to be too much food, but enjoyable nonetheless. The only complaint I have is the lobster, which was quite chewy and overcooked; otherwise, every course was great, especially the lamb and cheese courses. The robiolo langhe was the best cheese I have ever had and the cheeses were well paired with the honey. I find the true test of a restaur... read more
Spiaggia - Restaurant of Extremes – What I liked about Spiaggia: -Romantic, private, has a park/lake view, not too noisy-high ceilings, high classed patrons -Beautiful venue -Gnocchi, a signature dish -High quality food prepared excellent with a sophisticated but not overwhelming menu -Great wine list with sufficient amount of 1/2 bottles -Knowlegable and professional waitstaff -Parking is resonably priced and seamless What I don't like about Spiaggia: -Portion sizes ( except gnocchi ) are small -Felt like being in a fish bo... read more
Hi please take me back there I'm hungry – We got there at 6pm and it was pretty dead... it filled up soon afterwards, though. At first they offer you a choice between still water and sparkling water... I highly recommend the still water. It was so liquidy, clear, and water-like. OK I'm joking. I got some kind of seafood appetiser, gnocchi, and some kind of lobster main course. The gnocchi was the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. Everything was good... I wasn't always sure about what I was eating but it was nice to t... read more
Food Was OK -- Prices Were Obnoxious – I've eaten at top-notch restaurants my whole life and don't mind paying a pretty penny for a terrific meal, but Spiaggia was obnoxiously over-priced and you are guaranteed to leave the restaurant hungry. The ambiance was upscale, but the food portions were woefully inadequate. Service was superfluous. But come on folks, I would MUCH rather spend $350 for a family of 4 eating at Ruths' Chris Steakhouse. It's also generous of them to keep refilling your soda at $3 a pop! Keep 'em coming b... read more
A Chicago Gem – Cafe Spiaggia is a wonderful restaurant in one of the most unexpected places -- the mag mile. One doesn't usually imagine running across farm fresh Italian (and local) ingredients in this neighborhood, but they are there. And they are fabulous. There are generally a number of specials to choose from and the menu rotates seasonally -- so just ask your waiter what is best. You won't be disappointed. Great service. Great food. Great low key atmosphere. If you like authentic Italian (not Italian-American there ar... read more
Excellent but Pricey – Had ddinner there Labor Day weekend 2004 with another couple. Great meal, great evening but very pricey. A special occasion place. Oh by the way the service was exemplary.
I've gotta admit that it gets very expensive here. But it's worth it for a special occasion! I've been the the next door Cafe Spiaggia a couple of times before finally going to Spiaggia! What a difference! the food was amazing! the wine excellent, the service fantastic! but the food! i loved from the appetizer to the pasta to my meat to the lemon pannacotta! delicious! i'll go back for sure when another special event rolls around!!
Dressed-to-the-nines, foodies head to Beard-winner Tony Mantuano's showstopper for fine Italian cuisine. – Soaring 40-foot windows are the focal point of this muted, all-out-luxurious dining room, which is broken up by geometric, white partitions and overlooks Lake Michigan. Widely considered one of the best restaurants in the city, restraint (and modernity) on the plate--with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients--is de rigeur. Whether diners choose the the tasting or opt to eat a la carte, attention to detail abounds. Ha... read more
