    Mark is the best bartender in town. Caesar is the best salad in Chicago. Spinach ravioli bolognese is phenomenal.

    My Wife and I flew in from Los Angeles after a grueling 27 hour delayed flight. We were able to not only get a table but after speaking with Angelo, received the best table in the house! Our server Alex was superb, attentive and engaging on a Saturday night and this legendary family owned restaurant always delivers the best Italian food available anywhere! Sincerely, Robert F and Donita S

    I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The food was exceptionally good. The description of how the steaks are prepared is not just marketing hyperbole. I have been to many wonderful steakhouses and Gene & Giorgetti is among the best. I should also mention that the special Barata appetizer was extraordinarily good. Also, I tasted my wife's spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, and it was on par with the original that one would find in Rome. We were celebrating a wedding anniversary but honestly I had forgotten I had even mentioned it on our reservation. So we were so surprised when we were presented with a complementary dessert. I was even more surprised when two of our drinks were comped on our bill. That was truly above and beyond thoughtful and generous. Gene & Giorgetti will be a must visit whenever we return to Chicago.

    The best restaurant PERIOD. Erica the manager was SOOO accommodating. Brought some friends for their 1st time and she made our meal special. Asked for the Library Room and Erica was amazing and attentive. The server, Carlos made our meal timing perfect. The Gibson was superb. Ceasars salad was split. Meatballs were the BEST. Bolognese was delicious then the Tomahawk Ribeye was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Top down....as stated THE BEST! THANKS AGAIN, ERICA.

    If you love Chicago, go here here for a great steak. Only prime aged meats. Clam appetizer was delicious! We had filet and skirt steak, vesuvio potatoes, creamed spinach, homemade spumoni, coffee. All wonderful.

    The service was great, we really enjoyed the meal. The tables are too close to each other its kind of uncomfortable. We made reservations and when we got there the host did not know where to sit us…
