Spiaggia

Spiaggia was an Italian restaurant in Chicago on Michigan Avenue at Oak Street. After 37 years on the "Magnificent Mile," Spiaggia closed permanently, having never reopened following its COVID-19 closure in March 2020.

It was nominated for the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2007 and 2010.

Tony Mantuano was the chef for 35 years; he won the James Beard Award for Best Chefs in America in 2005.

The Michelin Guide called it "one of Chicago’s most beloved Italian restaurants" and the restaurant earned and retained a Michelin star for 12 consecutive years. The Chicago Tribune considered Spiaggia the best Italian restaurant in Chicago.

President-elect Obama and his wife dined at Spiaggia following his historic election victory in 2008.
