Lizzano Focacceria & Spritzeria serves Italian panini on house schiacciata and focaccia bread from its Michigan Avenue spot in the Loop, with sister locations in River North and on Milwaukee Avenue. The menu runs through named sandwiches like the Napoli (fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil), the Lizzano (prosciutto di Parma and mozzarella), Il Carnivoro (prosciutto, salame, and mortadella with stracciatella and arugula), and the Fiorentino (roast beef, truffle aioli, pecorino), alongside boxed lunches, charcuterie boards, and tiramisu for dessert.
The Loop location sits amid Millennium Park, Grant Park, and the Michigan Avenue foot traffic, drawing both quick lunch orders and people settling in to eat. Regulars point to fresh ingredients prepared in view of the counter and staff who make the visit feel personal, though the takeout experience doesn't always hold up as well as eating in.
