We had our wedding reception here in 2003 and it was fabulous. Things have changed the old fine dining practices have changed as jackets are no longer required and service is not as attentive as it once was. However the food is still the top of the top. The steak was gigantic and cooked to perfection. Its served on a wood carving board and sliced in the kitchen. Forget about it the best Steak I have eaten period! We are on the wall of the Palm in the main dining room so we eat there often but this is the next step up. Drinks were perfect and wine list is very impressive, half bottles are available. Tony still is at the top.
My wife and I sat by the window watching people on Michigan Ave and Lake Shore Drive hurry by, as we enjoyed taste by taste of our menu. The staff is courteous and attentive to every request. The spaghetti with black garlic and sea urchin was incredible! The sommelier paired each wine perfectly with each entree. The chefs talents cannot be described by my words, but in the taste of each and every bite. Every dish was perfect! I highly recommend the experience for anyone who visits Chicago.

We braved the pandemic and went to Spiaggia for special dinner to celebrate my birthday. We were seated by the window as originally requested where we had the view of the Michigan Avenue and the small park across the street.
We noticed all the extra precaution to make sure that we were safe. All people working have their masks and gloves on. We were also required to wear mask everytime the servers came to serve us.
We did the tasting menu which includes 6 courses. Everything were great! The food were so tasty and there’s so much variety on each course. From the bread up to the dessert and everything in between were great tasting! For each bite, you could taste different flavors that blended well together. I couldn’t tell which one is my favorite as each dish was special by its own.
Ernesto, our server, did a great job on making us comfortable. I highly commend his service. Each person that brought our food explained the dish really well. Despite of the situation we are currently in, the dinner experience was remarkable and made my birthday dinner very special.
I highly recommend this place for those who want to try tasting menu! The price is very reasonable and very much worth of the dish and service they provided!
We dined here for the very first time on Saturday evening for my birthday and had such a lovely experience. From the time of arrival the staff was so attentive. They made you feel like a guest in their home. They were there when you needed them, but not so much that you couldn't enjoy conversation with your table. The sommelier was happy to come to the table and recommend a phenomenal bottle of wine to enjoy throughout the meal. As for the food, we did the 6 course tasting menu and I would highly recommend that. Every course was delicious and complimented the one prior. Typically my hesitation with tasting menus is still being hungry after, but this was not the case here at all. I left perfectly full and happy. Thank you for a beautiful meal and celebration!
I came here for my girlfriends birthday and it definitely did not disappoint! We did the tasting menu with the wine pairings. Every wine was phenomenal and the food was great. They also heard my girlfriend talking about the gnocchi with truffle and ended up bringing us both out plates of it. They made the night very special and everything was honestly so good. Would highly recommend!
Everything I hoped it would be. My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and I was simply blown away. Each dish was thoughtful, delicious, and balanced. The service was impeccable and the views amazing. Incredible wine list and the server was well versed and able to help us select the perfect bottle for the evening. We did the 5 course tasting menu which was the perfect amount of food. If say the venison steak or the mushroom soup were my favorite, but the bread was absolutely amazing as well. Highly recommend.
My sister and I dine here every once in a while. The food is magnificent. The service is top notch! We dined late , they were very accommodating. They always have the perfect wine to accompany our meals. And sometimes you just need their quiet atmosphere ....light jazz and very grown up. We needed it! Our thanks to the manager and the entire staff!
Overall a fantastic dining experience!! Truly one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. The service was impeccable, very friendly and helpful. All of the dishes were done perfectly. Amazing flavors, textures, and presentation. Wasn't a single course I didn't enjoy. Highly recommend going for the 8 course tasting menu. Also loved the great views from the giant windows. Will definitely return to.
My girlfriend and I celebrated the end of the semester by eating here. We had the blue fin tuna for antipasti, the gnocchi and one other pasta dish, and the duck and pork chop. All the dishes were amazing and service was the best I have ever had. Being young a college student I always worry at a nice restaurant the staff would will be condescending, but it was the exact opposite here. It is expensive, but prices make sense when you taste the complexity and freshness of ingredients. Staff all around was amazing definitely plan on returning.
My family went for a "cook's night out" the night before Thanksgiving. The service was wonderful and the staff was so kind.
Unfortunately it seemed that the kitchen was having a bad night. My mom's pasta was undercooked (obviously enough to the point where other family members had tried it and agreed). I ordered the carbonara and it was underwhelming. Not a lot of sauce and too toppings we're lackluster.
My appetizer was really good though (photo included) so it's hard to stay mad. Also the staff was very cool about the feedback and was very understanding about the dinner.
Willing to give it another shot but considering the price and that the cuisine is their specialty that should not happen.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Gorgeous restaurant decor with views of the lake. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We were greeted by the Chef, Joe Flamm, who is brilliant at his craft, yet down to earth. Course after course wowed us. I highly recommend Spiaggia for a special occasion or if you are looking to impress!!
This was a spectacular meal and experience. We had the five course tasting menu and at the waiter's suggestion, added a pasta course, which was a good idea. I thought each course was amazing though one companion thought the apple-themed dessert was a little tart (splitting hairs). The service is exceptional befitting the restaurant's Michelin star.
