"Repetitiveness aside, this podcast is worth a listen because Spiaggia is worth a visit... even if it's not our favorite...."
"Whoever says people don't dress for dinner anymore hasn't been to Spiaggia lately: the guests are as perfectly appointed as the room. Chef Tony Mantuano offers tasting menus, but on this visit we went full bore and ordered a la carte, starting with sea sc..."
"Spiaggia chef Tony Mantuano is opening his kitchen for a series of classes inspired by his new cookbook, Eleganza Italiana in Cucina. The four classes will focus on the courses of classic Italian meals and start this Saturday where a real Italian banquet..."

"Frontera Grill's Rick Bayless is contending for an award for his cookbook, Mexican Everyday, and Charlie Trotter, of the eponymous restaurant, got a nomination for his TV show, The Kitchen Sessions. Also vying for food media awards are Channel 7 and Chann..."
"The four-ounce Shackburgers ($4.75) (made with humanely raised, freshly ground Creekstone Farms beef custom-blended by LaFrieda Meats) were juicy (especially when ordered rare), salty, and crusty, the cheese was melted, and the bun was toasted and lightly..."
"Extremely overpriced and overrated supposed 'best' Italian restaurant as named by many review publications. I know here in the States we're used to monstrous portions and "all-you-can-eat"...."
"This is fine dining on the Mag Mile, without having to go overboard on the cash or the clothes. Right next door to the posh cafe is its smart, sophisticated and casual sister Spiaggia...."
