Tucked into the heart of Chicago’s thriving Little Italy neighborhood is one of the city’s hidden gems. The Grand Piazza is a true gathering place, ideal for celebrations with family, friends, and business associates. Its grandeur and distinctive location will set your event apart from all the rest and make it unforgettable.
From the lush courtyard across the street to the grand ballroom and dramatic rooftop terrace with unparalleled skyline views, the Grand Piazza is a memorable venue. This striking building, designed by renowned architect John Vinci, combines modern architecture with classic lines to create a unique new space offering a sense of history—romantic yet evocative of family and tradition, with a contemporary feel. The Grand Piazza is home to the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, a museum that pays tribute to athletic greats such as Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Lasorda, and Mary Lou Retton, and the passion, drive and sense of endless possibilities that drove their careers.
