    We had an outstanding experience at Gene & Georgetti. We were visiting Chicago for the first time and this was an excellent restaurant to visit during our trip. The service was attentive and engaging and the food was delicious and served in a timely manner. The history of this place made it even better. If we are back in Chicago, we will definitely visit Gene & Georgetti.

    We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary here, first time in Chicago and did not know a great place to have a steak dinner. Willis from Best Western North said that we come here will not be unhappy. 82 year's running and still going, bring your appetite as they give you what pay for. But not to be worried they will package all up to take with you. But the time you get there are greeted by the host taken to your table where you get to meet your waiter. Then the experience comes from the beverage to appy to the ceasar salad which I recommend to the dinner. Oh yea after dinner try the vanilla custard desert really really really good. You will love this place just bring your appetite you will need but remember what you don't finish they will pack for you.

    Start to finish our experience at Gene and Georgetti was amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful and portions were generous. The service was outstanding; very “old school” in attention to detail and overall vibe. Get the homemade Limoncello for or with desert! Delicious! In a city with so many outstanding choices for a truly great meal, this place is well worth going back to again and again!

    We sat upstairs and had a superb server. We weren’t rushed in any way. We started with Italian sausage and peppers and calamari grotto that were excellent. The came the outstanding garbage salad. We each had veal chops with a side of pappardelle and marinara. Complimented with a great bottle of Cabernet. Always look forward to the visit.

    Overall the food was solid. It's a very traditional steakhouse where the emphasis is on the cut of meat. My bone in NY strip was cooked through to the perfect temp, however I found it bland as it was not seasoned at all. A light sprinkle of kosher salt would've went a long way. Amazing onion rings. Brussel sprouts were solid as well.
