Executive chef Missy Robbins has a passion for Italian cuisine, and it shows. The American-born Robbins honed her Italian chops in northern Italy at the highly acclaimed Agli Amici restaurant in Friuli. For five years prior to joining A Voce, she was the executive chef at Chicago's Spiaggia. Her menu is inspired, and represents regional dishes from all over Italy, including melt-in-your-mouth swiss chard and cresenza cheese-stuffed cassoncini pockets with prosciutto from Puglia, spaghetti alla chitarra from Abruzzo, and Venetian grilled foie gras. The pasta is prepared fresh every day and Robbins's fish and meat dishes are exceptional. The agnello in due modi entrée is especially well prepared with tender lamb chops and a flavorful vegetable soffrito. For dessert, try the Tuscan bomboloni doughnuts with dark chocolate dipping sauce. The attentive staff also help to make the dining experience here a real pleasure. A Voce's atmosphere is warm, and the 90-seat dining room has a retro Italian feel to it—walnut floors, pale green leather-top tables, and Eames chairs. There's also additional seating on the patio when weather permits.
