"Tre Dita is the first Chicago restaurant from the much-hyped chef behindFelix,Mother Wolf, andFunke, three LA spots that are impossible to get into. It's on the second floor of the St. Regis Hotel in Lakeshore East and has a gorgeous view of the river, art deco archways, and more people in well-pressed suits than a James Bond casting call. But aside from Tre Dita’s “glam factor,” theItalianfood is excellent. Schiacciata topped with olive oil and rosemary can make a steadfast focaccia loyalist fall in love with this fluffier Tuscan cousin. Prawns in salsa verde and a charred rib-eye cap are perfectly seasoned. And since the fancy space isn't over-the-top, you don’t have to worry about overstimulation while twirling creamy pici caccio e pepe, even with a room full of chatty dates, B-list celebs, and 30-somethings bragging about some vague-but-seemingly-very-important “deal.”" - Team Infatuation
