Historic, and satisfying.
To me if you visit Chicago you have to get a couple of meals steak is one, and this to me is the original and quintessential Chicago Steak house and there are so many to choose from. Anyway, we made reservations on open table. We arrived and were led immediately to ours. The waiter who was grade A, top notch, made an excellent wine suggestion, and got us our drinks right away. We opted to share every thing, so we split a baby gem salad which was unique and very pleasing. Then I got their version of creamed spinach, which was a little rich maybe and just ok. Then we ordered the Tomahawk ribeye which comes with an amazing presentation already sliced up. Ok here is where it gets tough, this was a $100 plus steak ( yes we splurged) the waiter suggested and my wife wanted medium rare, but it came ultimately medium to even medium well. Good steak just not great because it was a little over cooked. I will say my wife was ecstatic so, as long as she was happy i'm happy but I think reasonable people can agree, if you pay top dollar for a steak then perfection is the order of the day. I did love the atmosphere but ultimately when I return to Chicago I'll give another place a chance.

Historical restaurant with a classic and traditional decor. Mainly dark wood. Food is good and real Italian , with not too much โAmericanizationโ. Lamb chop is amazing. Friendly service. I never eat Italian outside of Italy, but it was a nice surpriseโฆ

Havenโt been here in a long time- wanted to take my son to a Chicago classic- so G & G. Met and lead upstairs- seated immediately. Couple apps and the Bistecca Fiorentina. Steak was great as were the sides. You have to ask for the cottage fries now! Great service. Love the corkage fee option. Well done!

Perfect for spending a pleasant evening after an intense day in Chicago. Excellent dishes. Perfect meat. But be careful, the quantity on the plates is enormous. Plan to share.
Be the first to ReplyA must for tourists! Or anyone!
We were in Chicago from Upstate NY for 4 nights. We made a reservation at G&G for our last dinner after much research. We were NOT disappointed. The atmosphere, the service and the food were all top notch. We were a family of myself, my husband, 1 teen, 1 tween and 3 grandparents. We all loved our dinner. They do have a kids menu if you ask. Filet mignonโs were all cooked as requested and were nice cuts. Cheese ravioli with marinara was very good. Kids spaghetti with a giant meatball was devoured by a picky eater. The sides are large enough to share and we had the spinach and broccolini. They were both cooked perfectly with great flavor. The bartender made GREAT cocktails. Giant piece of chocolate cake was shared at the end and was a perfect way to end our meal. The staff all seemed to live their jobs, the manager on duty was friendly and attentive. All I can say is you must go when in Chicago!

Are there better steak houses in Chicago? Yep. Are there better Italian restaurants? Yep again. This place, however, has been doing both very well for a long time. Personally I think they do Italian better than steak, but the steak is solid. The ambiance teeters between Chicago Mob hangout and weathered corner tavern. Some will like the vibe, some will not. On all of our visits, the service has been solid to outstanding. Good place for tourists to experience a long time Chicago favorite as well as a good choice for us in the suburbs when weโre wanting a City dinner.

A welcoming, unique, delicious experience. The steaks are great as are the Italian classics. Try the garbage salad and be sure to get a bread basket. You can go to a chain steakhouse in any city but for an old world wonderful meal, this is the place.

This steakhouse does all the chop house classics better than the rest, the steaks wet aged and dry aged all great. Sides like ceasar salad and pasta like caccio e pepe all make for a great dinner. It is clear why when in Chicago Frank Sinatra was a regular.

Great (pair) of evenings at Georgia and Georgetti's. Thanks to their floor manager Angelo Yohanna, we had two extraordinary evenings with our European customers. "No" simply wasn't in their vocabulary. We asked for expanded seating on at least 4 occasions the first night (more colleagues wanted to join once they heard how good the food was). Angelo's team made it happen over and over, and despite the kitchen closing the chefs at G&G cooked up delicious steaks and vegetarian dishes both. Food and service was so good we came back again (at our client's request) despite all the choices Chicago has to offer. Can't go wrong with this legendary address - legendary for a reason, it provides memorable evenings. Not to be missed!

Be the first to ReplyOld World Quality
We had a group dinner at G&G for a family member's birthday some time ago. We are locals and are aware of how stiff the steakhouse competition and general high-end dining scene is in Chicago. G&G sticks out from the rest because it is a local business with a long, established history that combines top notch steaks with Italian classics in an old-world setting. The restaurant itself is situated in one of the oldest buildings in the city, and is a relic from the neighborhood's former era when Italian immigrants lived nearby in significant numbers. We had a couple of steaks, a fish, and a couple of pasta entrees. The steaks were clearly high quality and cooked to desired temperature. Our server's recommendation on the limone preparation of the sea bass was very well-received. We also enjoyed the calamari and brussels sprouts. Service was friendly without any issues. Prices are high but you get what you pay for: quality We will definitely return to and highly recommend G&G for anyone looking for high quality food in a classic setting.

I came here for dinner with some friends last night and had an incredible experience. From the amazing blood orange sidecar, to the sausage and peppers appetizer, to the baby gem salad, to all the pastas and entrees we shared together. The food was amazing, the staff was incredible, and the overall experience had us excited for our next visit. Thank you G&G!!

I have had many different dining experiences at G&G for over 20 years. Dinner with my family, large group parties, out of town guests looking for a Chicago classic steakhouse, a lite lunch with friends alfesco style, coffee at the walk-up window, Thanksgiving dinner takeout, Pantry dinner's to go, client events, you name it is always excellent and just the perfect meal to enjoy. However, recently I had one of the most special experiences, which I think speaks volumes to the excellence and care of G&G. My husband was hospitalized at Northwestern for a long recovery and while I don't want to knock hospital food, it was just simply not getting his appetite and strength up. So I called up G&G for a Take Out order of Chicken Limone, Caesar Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus and of course Tiramisu. It was remarkable to see how his mood and overall wellness changed from that one meal! We fully give credit the kick start to his healthy recovery to G&G. The quality of the food speaks volumes as to why it should be on anyones health and wellness food list!

Be the first to ReplyJust awful
Itโs hard to believe there can be a worse steak house in Chicago, or even Illinois. Had a terrible meal here 4-5 years ago but had to attend a business dinner here this week and it was as bad as I remember. Awful food, ugly restaurant, sad clientele and indifferent service. How anyone can enjoy this place is beyond comprehension.

What a complete let down . I will say I went on Thanksgiving so maybe they gave their " A team " the day off, but why be open if you arent going to do it right. The cut of steak used for the tomahawk was a beautiful piece of meat, sad gthere was no cheff to do it justice. Meat was not seasoned and completely charred on the outside. I ordered it medium and the fat was still solid white on the inside, center was raw outside was burnt charcoal. Mashed sweet potatoes, again completely unseasoned, simply taken from the skin mashed and thats it, no butter no salt no pepper just watery sweet potato. Perhaps the most offensive other than ruining a great cut of meat was the crab cake. A fairly decent crab cake served on to of a sea of what seemed like kraft creamy italian dressing. and a few slices of cherry tomato. Fire the entire kitchen staff !!!

everything was good was a bit disappointed. It was supposed to have a super old school traditional steakhouse feel. I thought it kinda sorta had that but not tpo the level I expected or wanted. The steaks were really good- really really good Not amazing but again just a bit underwhelmed. Great service.
Be the first to ReplySpaghetti? At Gene & Georgetti's steakhouse?
My father loved to cook. As a dental surgeon in the First Infantry Division during World War II, he often cooked fresh meals for soldiers in his regiment. He especially loved to cook spaghetti. At home, he filled a large pot with ground beef, Italian sausage, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, onion, herbs, olives, garlic cloves, mushrooms, parmesan, tomato sauce, eggs, bread crumbs, peppers and shrimp. It was an all-day project. So now I'm on a quest to find the best spaghetti-making restaurants in Chicago. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Gene and Georgetti, Chicago's oldest steakhouse, also makes a great dish of spaghetti and meatballs. Located at 500 North Franklin Street, at Grand, in the River North neighborhood, this family-owned restaurant opened in 1941. Open from 11 to 10:30 Sunday through Thursday and 11 to 11 on Friday and Saturday, it has built a reputation as one of the city's finest steakhouses. My wife and I started with shrimp cocktail, minestrone and Caesar salad with home-made white anchovy dressing and parmigiano with grilled chicken. For an entree, my wife chose veal Marsala with Vesuvio potatoes, garlic, white wine and sauteed mushrooms. The waiter looked at him awkwardly when I ordered spaghetti with mushrooms, clams, shrimp and calamari in a light tomato sauce with house-made meatballs. A different version from most traditional recipes but delicious just the same. Dad would have appreciated it. So did I. For dessert, we shared tiramisu and flan.

This was by far the best steak we had in Chicago, and we visited several other famous steakhouses. We enjoyed a ribeye and we also ordered a pasta dish, Casoncelli, which did not disappoint. The only complaint I have is, our waiter recommended the ribeye to us because it was supposedly his favorite. Later on, we heard him recommend two different steaks that were his favorite to two different tables. We felt like he was just making recommendations to make them not because they were truly his favorites. Aside from that, his service was great, and we certainly enjoyed our meal! We will return.
