Modern, sleek, airy, minimalist space. They got the acoustics right! Excellent for brunch before visiting The Art Institute.
Loving the interior design of this restaurant . So spacious , minimalist and modern. Food was simple and pretty straightforward. Get the flatbread margherita ; loved the tomato base & touch of basil .
The best restaurant in the Art Institute. Great view . The fish is always a tasty & beautifully presented choice. Soups are usually very good as well .
Eschew lackluster mains for flatbreads (topped with creamy burrata and seasonal ingredients like scapes) and heaping salads (like pea shoots and crisped prosciutto ). Read more
very good pasta , exellent bread , great views , nice staff , great place to have luch during museum visit
Tony Mantuano's restaurant in the Art Institute is a big step above the usual museum food. Plus, the views of Millennium Park are stunning.
The new and improved restaurant is def a must stop. Simple yet sophisticated flavors & great views !
Scenic views from this awesome restaurant . Menu changes a lot so ask for recommendations from the server. You can't go wrong!
Spaghetti Neri (tuna crudo , roasted red pepper cream, bottarga , green onions ): yeah, it's good
Fulfill your dream of becoming one of the "ladies who lunch " at this upscale Chef Tony Mantuano restaurant in the Modern Wing of the Art Institute. Discuss the weather over a crisp glass of Sancerre .
This cheese cave in the Modern Wing keeps a bounty of artisanal cheeses at the perfect temp & humidity. After, head to the patio overlooking Millennium Park & the skyline . -- Green Guide Editor

Trees & shrubs blooming - best springtime non high-rise view you can have for moderately high price of a good quality meal in Chitown; worth it!!

Grilled duck breast , looks small but filling
Oolong-Smoked Duck (hoisin , Chinese steamed buns )
Beautiful views all around. And delicious flat bread . Way to go!
The shrimp cake is excellent, and even better if you add the lobster hollandaise .
Attended a Private Party at the Terzo Piano and the food was amazing! And the drinks were superb!
They had the best restaurant week offerings of all the places I tried! A truly wonderful place!
Rainbow trout was very flavorful
Great food and vibe. Not too crowded .
Appreciate some art - and then appreciate roasted perch , mussels , clams and bay scallops in tomato broth. - CBS Chicago Read more
Beautiful space and beautiful food. A gem.
The lemon-basil soda and salmon is to die for!
The TerzoPiano Salad is very good. Includes prosciutto .
Big dissapointment. Ordered a salad and it was only washed greens with 3 pieces of watermelon and two crumbs of cheese . No lime vinegraitte sauce or any other touch that would justify 17$.
Love the house made bread , especially the rosemary one.
Thursday night’s are a must for the chef’s ever-changing prix-fixe menu. Savor whatever cheese plate is on tap .
Unbeatable views of the city skyline .
Grilled Kale Salad with Prosciutto and Sweet Potato Cracker
Get the veggie burger - worth every single one of the 17 dollars it will cost you.
Get the soup . You will not regret it.
