chi SPACCA menu: cheese bread, steak or pie?

chi SPACCA menu examples

Selected examples from SeEat’s 45-entry September 10, 2026 capture, compared with official sources on October 1. The restaurant calls its food menu an example that changes with availability. These are dated choices, not a complete current menu.

Three formats worth distinguishing

Use the named ingredients to compare directions, without a ranking or tasting claim.

Bread with stracchino cheese

Focaccia di Recco

The regular food menu names stracchino and extra virgin olive oil. It is a cheese direction, unlike Anchovy & Butter. The separately advertised group dinner names Focaccia di Recco with Ham; do not transfer that ham to the regular entry or assume the two offers are identical.

A savory pie rather than a steak

Beef & Bone Marrow Pie

The official pie entry names beef cheek, cippolini onions and mushrooms. Compare with Potato, Comte & Caramelized Onion Pie if you prefer that potato-and-cheese direction. Both are savory pies, but the filling and named accompaniment differ.

Choose the cut, not only “Fiorentina”

Costata or Bistecca Fiorentina

The official menu describes Costata as bone-in New York and Bistecca as bone-in Porterhouse; both are dry-aged. Pepper Steak is a separate entry with bacon, scallions and lemon zest. Specify the cut or the composed dish, then ask staff about quantity and preparation.

Read what is in the dish and beside it

These comparisons help narrow the order without assuming all vegetables are meat-free or every side is included.

1. 01

   Compare the salad dressing, not only the greens

   Little Gem names bacon vinaigrette and egg. Spacca Caesar names anchovy and Parmigiano Reggiano. Salanova Lettuces instead names herbs and lemon vinaigrette. Use those differences to choose and to prepare ingredient questions.

2. 02

   Choose the accompaniment direction

   Lamb Shoulder Chops comes with mint yogurt; Whole Branzino names herb salad and charred lemon; the potato pie names mixed greens with mustard vinaigrette. Contorni is a separately listed side category, so confirm what accompanies your specific dish before adding more.

3. 03

   Keep the example-menu date in mind

   The current official example shows Apple Crisp where the capture lists Stone Fruit Cobbler, and changes several meat and small-plate entries. Affogato remains a soft-serve-and-espresso direction. Check availability rather than build your order around every captured seasonal dish.

Words that change the choice

Pane and contorni

Bread and separately listed accompaniments. Their category position does not mean they are automatically included with a steak.

Macelleria

The menu’s main meat-and-seafood section includes whole branzino and octopus as well as steak and lamb. Do not assume every entry is beef.

Stracchino, Comte and burrata

Cheeses named in different entries. A bread or potato dish with one of these is a dairy direction; the name does not establish all other ingredients.

Affogato

Here, vanilla soft serve topped with espresso. This differs from choosing a soft-serve topping combination or a baked fruit dessert.
