Would you travel for a really cool dining experience? I would. I ventured 30 miles from downtown Chicago to Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino & Resort in East Hazel Crest, IL. I was invited to a media preview of the highly anticipated new restaurant Alto, the signature Italian steakhouse crafted by renowned celebrity chef Fabio Viviani.
Alto
The description alone blew me away – Alto offers an unforgettable dining experience, blending panoramic views, premium steaks, and modern Italian cuisine—marking a significant milestone in the resort’s evolution as a premier destination for world-class gaming, exceptional wellness offerings and unparalleled dining experiences.
Over the past twelve months, Wind Creek Chicago Southland has unveiled its state-of-the-art casino, luxury hotel, spa, and now, Alto. Located on top of the hotel’s 17th floor, Alto offers an elevated dining journey featuring expertly grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and house-made pastas—including squid ink lumache with frutti di mare, pistachio-crusted lamb chops, and lobster fra diavolo. The ambiance is sleek and refined, designed to match the panoramic backdrop and the menu’s contemporary flair.
“With Alto, we’re elevating guests’ dining experience by delivering refined flavors and exceptional hospitality in one of the most dynamic dining rooms in Chicagoland,” said Chef Fabio Viviani. “It’s approachable elegance with vibrant character—exactly what the Southland deserves.”
