Nico Osteria
From one coast to another — Nico Osteria brings Italian seafood to Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Led by Executive Chef Michael Dong, Nico Osteria specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood and shellfish, house-made pastas, and crudos, as well as satisfying larger plates such as whole grilled branzino.

Our Gold Coast Chicago bar has an approachable wine list that features bottles from Italy and Greece, as well as grower Champagne, with an emphasis on small producers and older vintages. A skylight above shines across imposing brick columns and wood-paneled walls, setting a warm and inviting atmosphere for rustic Italian fare.
