Sam WilsonDecember 6, 2013Had a perfectly cooked small filet mignon and delicious sides of creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms, and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Tiramisu and cannolis were perfect end to the meal...
Chicago TribuneDecember 31, 2014Come to this old school steakhouse around lunch time and sit at the mahogany bar to overhear old timers telling stories. Make sure to try the Chicken alla Joe and the broiled petite strip steak. Read more

Steve EirichApril 7, 2015My favorite all-around restaurant in Chicago - the steaks are excellent but the atmosphere is the tipping point. Feels like Capone is sitting somewhere nearby.
Wendell RobinsonMarch 8, 2013Been twice and the ribeye was excellent both times. Cooked just right, well seasoned and flavorful. Can't comment on the other cuts, but they do a darn good ribeye.- Time Out ChicagoMay 6, 2013The 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 Read more
- Dieter KurtenbachFebruary 18, 2011It'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.
AlisonMarch 11, 2022Everything about this place is amazing. My husband and I came here on our first date. The steaks are so tender you can cut them with a butter knife!
Jon B.June 19, 2018Classic Chicago steakhouse. The mussels appetizer was excellent, and the steak is world class.
Chicago magazineApril 16, 2012Wet-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. Read more
ISC ChicagoApril 21, 2018Out-of-towners wanted Italian and steak. They got their wish in one place. They absolutely loved it.
Gyi TsakalakisOctober 30, 2014Order the lamb chops, veal chops and ribeye and have them prepare it family-style.
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010This "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.
Alan VidalJune 23, 2011A place a always wanted to go to but hesitant because of recent mixed reviews. I went for the lamb chops and they were great! Very old school Chicago which added to the experience
Bachelor10March 18, 2013The portions at Gene & Georgetti’s tend to lean on the “that thing is enormous” side so keep that in mind when ordering. There’s nothing less impressive than toting around a doggy bag at the club.

If you close your eyes, you can still hear Sinatra and his boys at the bar. Classic old school steakhouse. Great value and solid food. Soak it in.
Eric YoungNovember 17, 2013So amazing, steak bigger than my head! And as an added bonus... It was delicious, tender and perfectly aged!- Time Out ChicagoOctober 17, 2011Textbook veal Vesuvio, a “garbage” salad fit for four, calf’s liver sauteed with onions and bacon, perfectly seared chops and garlicky shrimp DeJonghe.
J ChapelaOctober 27, 2016Old school rwstaurant at Chicago with tradition and BIG plates, Chicken Joes was very good
Alex AdamsDecember 4, 2015Awesome Veal Marsala, asparagus and teramisu. Best teramisu I've ever had!

Vinnie DaboulApril 12, 2015Food excellent. The portions are HUGE. Wish the server gave us a heads up.
Sean BlantonOctober 2, 2011The prime rib is amazing and as big as a human head so you may want to share. Best I've ever had.
Mimi ChanelMarch 25, 2014Very nice the food and wine delish but the sautéed spinach was dry. Table and chair are tight and small.
Crain's Chicago BusinessJune 10, 2010Here for lunch? Oregano, lemon and salt draw out flavor in a trio of thick, nicely charred lamb chops, a plowman's portion. Read more
The steaks...lobster and fried ravioli were awesome! We had a party of 8 for a bitthday dinner and the service was fantastic! Read more
Myra RubinOctober 16, 2010Totally "old school" Charming restaurant, huge portions. Tasos is the best waiter!
ZaarlyChicagoAugust 15, 2011This place will definitely fulfill your more traditional Italian steakhouse needs.
- ISC ChicagoDecember 31, 2012Wonder if we went on an off day. No complaint for the service but steak wasn't that spectacular. So sad :-(
