Nia Restaurant & Wine Bar
Danny · 68 Google reviewsNia Restaurant & Wine Bar — honest mediterranean in West Loop. Small room with big warmth. The cocktail list is worth exploring. "It is smoky, crispy on the outside and tender inside, probably the best steak I ever had for a while" — Ritz Xu [$$, patio]

“While walking through Chicago's Fulton Market district, I came across Nia Restaurant & Wine Bar and decided to stop in for happy hour. I kicked things off with Nia's Famous Sangria and the crispy cauliflower from the happy hour menu. The sangria was refreshing and perfectly balanced, while the cauliflower was crispy and flavorful. Since everything was so good, I decided to stay for dinner and ordered the shrimp paella. It arrived packed with flavor, generous portions of shrimp, and perfectly cooked rice that captured all the richness of the dish. Whether you're looking for a relaxing happy hour, a date-night spot, or simply a great meal while exploring the neighborhood, Nia is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!”
“Second time here. Chris is amazing to chat with, makes amazing cocktails, and even remembered me by name a whole month later. This place is absolutely on my rotation. Amazing drinks, amazing food. You won’t regret stopping by!”
“The 8 course meal was tremendous! From the salad to the cheesecake, along with the 3 wine tastings, we couldn't ask for a better meal! Everything was tasty!”
“I had my birthday dinner here and every dish was delicious. We went with the pairing menu which was tasty. I anticipate coming back when we revisit Chicago.”
“We had a great experience in this place. The service was excelent with Chris and the food was really good! I totally recommend the pinchos beef and chicken! Don’t Forget to try the cheescake! Delicious!!”
“We are here on Valentine’s Day and we got the exquisite prefixed menu. All of the prepared cuisine has been above our expectations. We will be saving this as one of our favorites!”
“Everything about our visit was amazing — from the delicious food to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, and our server was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. What made it extra special was that they even let our dog join us! It’s rare to find such a pet-friendly place with this level of service and quality. Highly recommend Nia to anyone looking for great food, great people, and a place that truly makes you feel at home. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Great experience! My wife and I visited and did the chef’s tasting meal for 2! We had some great courses! The food was incredible, and chef Daniel was great! The only thing that could be improved is to have identical gluten free options for each meal.. Though they were able to accommodate for 2 of the non-gluten friendly dishes, there were a few that my wife couldn’t eat! However, it was a great experience and would be 10/10 if we didn’t have the dietary restrictions.”
“Gifted the 8 course tasting menu as a package with a massage at Mirror. Incredible tasting food, flavorful drinks, great service. Definitely recommend!”
“We had a great experience! Every course was delicious on the chefs tasting menu, with standouts like the pancetta crostini (incredible flavors), croquettes, and the artisan pizza with truffle honey drizzle. Amelia, our server, was wonderful and made the evening even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to sit outside on a beautiful end-of-summer evening. Highly recommend!”
“The food was amazing! We did the Chef’s Tasting Menu- 8 course meal. Flavors among flavors! Great menu from beginning to end. Thank you Nia for a wonderful night!”
