When in Chicago, eat like James Beard Award–winning chef Tony Mantuano SpiaggiaChicago Ad SavorMoments
Growing up, with all the time he spent working at his family's butcher shop and tending their lush garden at home, Tony Mantuano fell in love with food at an early age. This appreciation for good ingredients has only grown throughout Tony's career, and is front and center at his Michelin-starred restaurant, Spiaggia, which he opened 35 years ago in Chicago.
Between running his restaurant and mentoring young chefs—many of whom, such as Missy Robbins and Sarah Grueneberg, have gained renown in their own right—Tony is a busy guy. We were lucky enough to get a chance to chat with him about his life in and out of the kitchen. Below, you'll learn what he does on his days off, and, perhaps more importantly, where he eats.
"We keep it really simple; it’s not like restaurant food at all. It’s just grilled chicken or grilled vegetables. Depending on the season, we have a lot of pepper plants on our patio, so we grill those, too. My wife is a wine expert and makes wine lists, and so there are always interesting wines. Everyone is gathered around the grill and relaxing.
"But they are really known for their wines. Their wine list is always super interesting. They have a retail store, The House of Glunz, that's massive. Barbara Glunz and Christopher, her son, have an encyclopedic knowledge of wines that is really fascinating to tap into. We go there much more for the conversation than anything, to be honest.""Even though I'm a silent partner in The Purple Pig, I really enjoy what Jimmy Bannos Jr. is cooking there.
