Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino & Resort announces the grand opening of Alto, an Italian steakhouse crafted by celebrity chef Fabio Viviani.

Located on top of the hotel's 17th floor, Alto offers an elevated dining experience featuring grilled steaks, fresh seafood and housemade 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 Viviani. "It's approachable elegance with vibrant character—exactly what the Southland deserves."

Viviani, a "Top Chef" alumnus, entered a multiconcept partnership with Wind Creek Hospitality in 2023. In addition to Alto, Viviani's team oversees several on-property venues including Shuck It, a seafood and oyster bar, and contributes to the resort's food hall, banquets and in-room dining programs.

"This is a milestone moment for Wind Creek Hospitality—not just for our resort, but for the region," said Roger Kuehn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Wind Creek Chicago Southland. "From the beginning, we set out to raise the bar for what's possible in the Southland, and with Alto, we're proud to help redefine Chicago's culinary edge just beyond the city skyline."
