Restaurants Chicago - Cafe Spiaggia (recommendable)


Cafe Spiaggia is located conveniently at the end of of Michigan avenue - the main shopping area in Chicago.

Great classic Italian dishes. It is not cheap, but the waiters are very friendly and attentive. Charming setting!

The Wood roasted mushrooms with yellow polenta were delicious. The butternut squash filled pasta with brown butter, sage and Parmigiano is also worth trying - a nice blend of light flavours. The Arctic Char with braised lentils - maybe it is a matter of taste, but in our opinion the lentils did not fit so well with the fish.

They have an extensive wine list. Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut - light, dry, approachable and good value for money in a Restaurant.

Our overall impression was great.

Approximately $45 per person excluding wine.
