  • Best Italian food we have had since living in Italy. Best to make reservations though it was worth the wait. by robam Thu 07/12/2012 12:00 AM Joined Jun 2012 1 Posts 2 Restaurant Visits

FourSquare Tips

  • Time Out Chicago
    Textbook veal Vesuvio, a ?garbage? salad fit for four, calf?s liver sauteed with onions and bacon, perfectly seared chops and garlicky shrimp DeJonghe.
  • Crain's Chicago Business
    Here for lunch? Oregano, lemon and salt draw out flavor in a trio of thick, nicely charred lamb chops, a plowman's portion.

    Frank Sinatra loved Gene & Georgetti, Chicago's oldest steakhouse.

    The goods: textbook veal Vesuvio, a ?garbage? salad fit for four, calf?s liver sauteed with onions and bacon, perfectly seared chops and garlicky shrimp DeJonghe. http://tmoutchi.us/10esgeQ

    Best steak in Chicago!
  • Drink Deck
    Split an entree. They are WAY TO BIG!
  • Epicurious
    This "hotspot" (literally!) keeps patrons warm during the winter - its 1,100°F Vulcan broiler sears steaks to perfection with plenty of heat to spare. Sip on icy martinis to keep cool in the summer.
  • Chicago magazine
    Wet-aged steaks still rank among the best in town. On weekends, latch onto first-rate prime rib. The wine list is forgettable, but the well-priced martinis are excellent.
  • Dieter K.
    It's decorated like a 1950's basement and that's the way I like it. Get the steak rare. Get red wine. Sixty percent of life is trying to eat great steak. Hunker down, this is the best.
  • Myra R.
    Totally "old school" Charming restaurant, huge portions. Tasos is the best waiter!
