St. Regis's Eleventh-Floor Tuscan Steakhouse
Tre Dita opened in 2023 as the Boka Restaurant Group's most architecturally ambitious recent project — an 11th-floor Tuscan steakhouse inside the new St. Regis Chicago tower, with chef Ryan Pfeiffer running a kitchen oriented around the bistecca alla Fiorentina tradition.
The cooking is regional Italian with a Tuscan steakhouse focus: prime cuts grilled in the Tuscan tradition, careful pastas, considered antipasti, and the kind of regional Italian wine list the format demands. The room itself — floor-to-ceiling glass with a 360-degree view of the city — is one of Chicago's most cinematic recent dining spaces.
What to Order
Bistecca alla Fiorentina for two, properly grilled and finished with Tuscan olive oil. Tagliata for the diner who wants the smaller cut. Handmade pastas rotated seasonally; the antipasti rewards a confident order. The wine programme is unsurprisingly deep on Tuscan reds.
The View
The 11th-floor view runs across the river, the lakefront, the city's skyline rising behind the diner. By sunset, the room earns its photograph reputation; the lighting is calibrated for evening dress.
Best Occasion: Close a Deal
Tre Dita is one of Chicago's most appropriate deal-dinner rooms. The view, the wine cellar, the Tuscan-steakhouse format — combine into a meeting that signals seriousness without abandoning the warmth Italian hospitality provides. The St. Regis address resolves the visiting-client logistics.
