Terzo Piano

2 -3 hours in museum halls and you are tired, can’t already feel the art, the mood , the beauty – you need to relax. So – there was a Terzo Piano Restaurant ( not easy to find on schema – better ask employees there). And here we are - elegant place in sophisticated design, light furniture, airy space …You can see the bar but kitchen …covered from customer’s eyes . Good sign! Don't remember if I saw Piano there . The meal , mostly Italian also looks contemporary. Small portions with a touch of…art.. We got soups – roaster cauliflower , grilled octopus and grilled chicken with charred peal onions. Every dish was delicious, tasty for our joy. We felt relaxed , exchanged impressions of the pictures we have seen….Nice atmosphere, pleasant drinks. There was also some dessert – you see what is left on the picture. Do not remember what it was. But good. Come to watch Art and get some tasty bite in the same kind of Culinary Art. You wouldn’t regret when you did.

Came here for restaurant week. The cauliflower soup, ink squid pasta, and toffee cake was fantastic. Also recommend the cheese and olives. The restaurant has great view of the Art Institute. Modern and classic ambience.

The appetizers and entrees we're slightly under-seasoned this time, but the cocktails and desserts were really delicious. The atmosphere, per usual, was lovely.

Nice atmosphere, fairly inattentive service and mixed marks on food. Some of the items we had such as the duck and the flat bread were excellent with complimentary flavors which brought out the best in the ingredients. However one of the mains with lamb and pasta had an overpowering acidic sauce that drowned out any flavors the lambs had. Overall still a good experience and quite reasonably priced for what and where it is.

I live visiting Terzo Piano after spending time at the Art Institute. The restaurant is open, full of light emanating from the massive windows that give you breathtaking views of the city. Better than the ambiance and the views are the food and service. I definitely recommend.

My experience at Terzo Piano was delightful. The food was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely come back. I had the seared trout with chimichurri and fresh greens atop. My dessert was a chocolate hazelnut tarte. The environment was open and airy. A wonderful place to dine at in the loop.

Certainly artistic and open floor plan, minimalistic in design, so is the food presentation, delicious, but overpriced and small portions, the lentil soup is not traditional, i.e. less lentil more other veggies, light but did the trick of serving as a nutritional snack.

I was so excited to have lunch here while visiting the Art Institute. The view is amazing and the space is bright and clean. The server was pleasant, but did not check on us after our meal arrived. The whiskey ginger cocktail was very nice. The burger was great and loved the fries. The Cobb salad was horrible. Nothing had any flavor, from the meat to the dressing. Salt did not even add flavor. The server was nice to comp the salad, even though he did not check to see how the meal was. We had to get his attention to tell him the salad was bland.
