Restaurant Reviews & Press

'Stepping into Café Spiaggia feels like visiting an Italian relative's home ~ it's warm, welcoming, and true to Italian tradition and food.'

City Girl Chicago
'Though it's no huge secret-Cafe Spiaggia has been around for 26 years. I think that it's worth saying: if you want to eat stellar Italian food with first-rate ingredients, at the quality of a restaurant like Spiaggia, but the real restaurant is out of your budget, look no further than Cafe Spiaggia.'

The Paupered Chef
"Tony Mantuano is perhaps the quintessential fine-dining Italian chef, respectful of the cuisine's traditions and inherent simplicity yet attuned to the touches that differentiate a good restaurant from a spectacular one."

Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune.
