Spiaggia was a distinguished Italian dining establishment located on Michigan Avenue near Oak Street in Chicago. After maintaining its presence on the "Magnificent Mile" for 37 years, Spiaggia permanently ceased operations and did not reopen following its closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020.
The restaurant earned nominations for the prestigious James Beard Award in the Outstanding Restaurant category in both 2007 and 2010. Renowned chef Tony Mantuano led the kitchen for 35 years and was honored with the James Beard Award for Best Chefs in America in 2005.
Recognized by the Michelin Guide as "one of Chicago’s most cherished Italian restaurants," Spiaggia held a Michelin star for an impressive span of 12 years. Additionally, the Chicago Tribune acclaimed it as Chicago’s premier Italian restaurant.
Following his 2008 election victory, President-elect Obama and his wife chose to celebrate with a meal at Spiaggia.
