"With its mismatched furniture, sakura tree decal stickers, and a grass wall with neon signs that say “good vibes” and “be happy”, it’s hard to pinpoint the vibe Cafe Nova is going for. But, despite this casual Rogers Park spot’s eclectic design, the Sri Lankan menu is fairly cohesive. There are zesty curries like saag paneer and a fragrant one with fish and coconut milk, plus some pretty good dosas. But the best thing here is the kothu paratha: tiny chopped-up pieces of crispy yet chewy flatbread and plenty of spice and flavor from garam masala, vegetables, and fried egg, which is perfect for a quick lunch or take-out dinner." - 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."
