Spiaggia

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!

The review is for Spiaggia, not Cafe Spiaggia, though I'm sure the Cafe is wonderful as well. Celebrated our anniversary with the Spiaggia team and had an absolutely amazing 3+hr dinner. Delicious food, amazing service, and just an overall fun experience.

Isalata di Pomodoro with heirloom tomatoes was so delicious, as was the Fluke Crudo, Ippoglosso, and Black Truffle Gnocchi.You won't go wrong with any of these choices that you can share. The dinner bread with butter is WOW!

The dessert is something else entirely (and I don't usually order dessert). The honey and almond gelato is so, so good. Add on Pasticciotto and Dolci di Melone, and it's getting a little sinful.

Thank you for making our dinner so special, Spiaggia! See you soon :)

This review is actually for Spiaggia and not Cafe Spiaggia. For some reason, the actual restaurant is not available on Google, only the cafe. Regardless, we had a great experience. The food was great and the service was top-notch. I was very impressed with all of the precautions they were taking with regards to COVID - there were a lot of small details with regards to our visit that really made a huge difference in our experience. There's a reason this place has been around for 35 years.

Everything went well today. I went here today with a friend to eat and I can say I am very satisfied with the service and food. The server (David), was really nice and helpful and whenever I requested something he got it done. He even explained the food, when I asked and it was very helpful because I knew what I was ordering. Also the food was cheaper than expected and was around my budget.

They also have a system here where they can put your card on file and, that is very useful because it can be used to get rid of awkward situations of splitting the bill. You just need to call in and ask about it.

One thing I would recommend when coming here is to dress up a little, because I felt a little out of place due to the fact that I was wearing casual clothing. While everyone else was wearing a button ups and dresses. BUT, the servers here still treated us equally.

I really enjoyed it here and I hope to come back on my next day off, or when I can clear my schedule. Thank you guys for the service and the experience.
