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 .

Kirstjen Lorenz

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 .

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 .

The TerzoPiano Salad is very good. Includes prosciutto .

Katerina Kouriati

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$.

Linda Doherty

Love the house made bread , especially the rosemary one.

Juicy Couture

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 .
