"The “Aya” in question was originally the head pastry chef at Maple & Ash, and this neighborhood bakery in West Town means that now you can get her fantastic baked goods straight from the source. It has everything from wonderfully flaky croissants, to pull-apart milk bread, to take-and-bake pastries that will change your life. Plus, Aya even has a drive-thru so you can roll up in your PJs before heading home to throw those bad boys in the oven." - veda kilaru, john ringor

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."
