Everything was once again wonderful. However, the lamb chop was disappointing. It had too much fat on it. We eat here whenever we visit Chicago. We will continue to do so. View all feedback.
What Oysters doesn't like about Spiaggia:
The last time I dined at Spiaggia was 4 years ago, before the remodel and while the jackets required rule still existed. This visit seemed like I was dining at an entirely different restaurant. All the things I loved most were gone: the formal dress with big comfy seats, the lovely bread service and dedicated water server. Whoever was in charge of the finishing salt was very heavy handed; I 'd say 5/6 dishes were too... View all feedback.
My first tasting menu experience, and it was incredible! The staff was extremely accommodating and ensured they were extremely safe: . I felt comfortable enjoying a dinner out during these times. The food. Incredible. We did the 6 course experience with the wine pairing and I was just blown away. They took us through Italy and provided us such incredible information that could be applied to someone like me with not such an experienced palette. The risotto and lamb were truly savory. The earthy wine that was paired with the risotto was one of my favorites. I forgot to take a picture but the two style of calamari were also just melting in my mouth. An experience I'll never forget:
Glad I opted for the tasting menu. Each dish hit. No complaints whatsoever. Service was very friendly.
I love real Italian hand made pasta : real classy , sophisticated restaurant: great view on Michigan Ave , Lakeshore drive and Historical view of the Drake Hotel !!! Very romantic place to celebrate anniversary! Went there for lunch and dinner , during the evenings I think it's more romantic!
My boyfriend, our friend, and I came here to celebrate their graduation from nursing school and our experience was absolutely incredible! The food was out of this world and the service was amazing! Our server was great and Alexa, who came to set the table and fill our waters, was one of the nicest people we have ever met and she made our experience that much better. We chose to order off the a la carte menu and shared most things, which was more than enough food for the three of us. (I don't know any of the actual names of the dishes because they were all in French but i will try to describe them: First we started with a mushroom pine nut soup and a tuna dish with watercress, both of which were out of this world. Then we ordered the homemade gnocchi with black truffle.....the best gnocchi I've ever had! Also they come to your table with the truffle and shave it in front of you which was pretty neat. Then we ordered a venison dish (deer) which was, you guessed it, incredible. Lastly we ordered the gelato and it was the perfect way to end the night. Thank you so much to everyone at Spiaggia for such an incredible experience and an amazing start to our trip to Chicago, we will be back!
This was the first time we have dined at Cafe Spiaggia and we will be back! The food, wine, staff and casual classy ambience made this a very enjoyable visit! Thank you!
