Located on bustling Michigan Avenue, Spiaggia satisfies your craving for authentic Italian cooking; passport not necessary, though a formal jacket is required. Every dish at Spiaggia is packed with traditional Italian flavors. The cheese plates are heavenly, as goat and cow's milk cheeses are artfully paired with a variety of aromatics. Traditional Italian classics are elevated to new flavorful heights, such as the popular Gnocchi with ricotta and black truffles. The service is impeccable, with friendly servers ready to accommodate diners in any way, such as with dietary restrictions. Diners have the option of a tasting menu, which, depending on the one chosen, may contain up to 6 different dishes and a dessert. Of course no authentic Italian restaurant would be complete without the wine list, which is quite copious. Attempting to skip dessert here is futile, because simply glancing at the menu listing a myriad of gelato flavors, cakes and mousse sends you to a point of no return. The romantic atmosphere and contemporary plating presentation along with the enticing food and elegant wine make Spiaggia a unique Italian dining experience.
