This slick restaurant is nestled within The Art Institute of Chicago's new Modern Wing, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano. Credit for the interior design of the gallery-bright eatery goes to local architect Dirk Denison, who has chosen spidery white chairs by Harry Bertoia and tabletops made from Durat (recyclable and containing recycled plastics). A 60-capacity terrace commands views over Millennium Park, Michigan Avenue and the Modern Wing's Bluhm Family Terrace. With contemporary Italian cuisine by Tony Mantuano, head chef at Chicago mainstay Spiaggia, lunch is served daily, dinner on Thursdays only
