Standing before the panoramic backdrop of 40-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, which frame the picturesque vistas of the Chicago River and Navy Pier, you find yourself immersed in a culinary journey at Tre Dita. Translating to “three fingers” in Italian, Tre Dita pays homage to the precision of the traditional Bistecca Fiorentina steak.

This gastronomic haven is a testament to the collaboration between Lettuce Entertain You and The St. Regis Chicago, curated by the esteemed Chef Evan Funke, making his debut in the Windy City. Tre Dita proudly heralds the title of the first certified Tuscan restaurant in the United States, underlining its commitment to authenticity and excellence.

Central to the Tre Dita experience is Chef Evan Funke’s renowned “pasta laboratorio,” meticulously maintained at the ideal temperature and humidity. As patrons traverse the arched walkway leading into the restaurant, they are tantalized by the sight of skilled chefs crafting pasta by hand within the lab, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure in the heart of Chicago’s culinary scene.
