Cafe Spiaggia
Cafe Spiaggia is located in the Bloomingdale's building at the north end of the Magnificent Mile. The food is great, but the ambiance is also a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Michigan Avenue shopping. Cafe Spiaggia looks like an old Italian street side cafe with reproductions of old Italian murals, small tables and smartly-checkered floors. Order Italian classics such as tiramisu, handmade pasta and unusual Italian dishes such as roast boar.

Bistro 110
Bistro 110 is at the corners of Michigan Avenue and Chicago Avenue. It's a popular dining destination for locals and tourists alike. Located near Chicago's original Water Tower (turned Art Gallery) and horse-and-buggy waiting area, this is a good choice for wine or cocktails. It offers French cuisine with an American accent. Although Bistro 110 is a good choice wine and dinner, you might also try it for brunch on Sunday when the restaurant features live jazz music.
