About the restaurant

Mangia Tutto features both Chicago “Deep Dish,” the perceived Chicago-style pizza; as well as, thin crust square cut “Tavern Style” pizza. As native Chicagoans we will tell you while we relished the occasional “Deep Dish” pizza, they were often only enjoyed on special occasions. The thin crust pie is the true “Chicago Pizza” readily available in any Chicago neighborhood.

We tried Sparks Water Bar for lunch and the food was great! We also sat at a table by the window, which has a nice view looking out on the water. For lunch, it is a little pricey, but sometimes some really great food and a nice view are worth the splurge.

The food is fantastic and the staff is friendly. The meat comes to the table so fast you can’t keep up. The chicken stroganoff, scalloped potatoes, and mushroom risotto are incredible. I’ve been to Churrasco a dozen times now and I will be back. 10/10 highly recommend!

J Paul’s always delivers that exuberant experience you look for in a high end steak house, the food follows suit, and the eccentric art is a nice finish to the overall experience. Been before and certainly coming again.
