"Widely known as one of the most touristy corners of Downtown Chicago, Navy Pier is also home to one of the newest, hottest Italian beefs in town. Longtime beef maker Mario Ferraro launched Ciccio Italian Beef in January 2023, stunning critics with tender meat cut slightly thicker than most and crusty rolls that hold up even when soaked in jus. In Ferraro’s telling, his father Sam Ferraro began selling Italian beef in 1935, which would make him one of the earliest documented Italian beef vendors in town." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

Spiaggia

Italian restaurant · Gold Coast

"We’ve made the difficult decision not to re-open Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia. We were very much looking forward to welcoming back our family and guests. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our efforts to restructure our lease, which was necessary to reflect the realities of operating a restaurant in an office building, post-pandemic. It’s been an incredible journey, and we are beyond proud of, and grateful for, 37 remarkable years. From the moment we envisioned the restaurants, our passion has been to elevate fine dining Italian cuisine. The endless number of special occasions, the most passionate staff and the amazing talent still delighting guests around the country, will remind us that Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia will live forever."
