Mona Lisa’s Restaurant (428 Water St.) has been an Eau Claire favorite for many years, serving delicious and unique Italian dishes and wines on an ever-changing menu. Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court, Eau Claire) will keep you satisfied whether you come for steak or pasta or just want to soak in the ambience. Located inside the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Hangar 54 Grill (3800 Starr Ave., Eau Claire) serves up American classics with unique airline-themed names – but don’t worry, you don’t need to book a flight to eat there. – Briana Novacek
