This place feels like being in a trattoria in Italy — truly warm and cozy. The pastas were delicious, especially mine: the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, which reminded me of my nonna’s recipe. One of the best I’ve had in the United States. The meat was also good, but the real star of the night was definitely the pasta.

I have to say, I love their free bread and butter, one of the best I ever had. Food and service are all great, it is kind of old fashioned and classic, but you can trust it’s quality more than some of those modern restaurant.

Coming from NYC and being use to the steakhouses there, this was a welcome sight. Traditional without being too stuffy or feeling outdated. Service was amazing. Our server was amazing even with dealing were a party of 13 tired and somewhat boozed up business people. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I will happy visit again during my next visit to Chicago and will recommend to everyone I know that visits.

We had a wonderful experience—everything from the atmosphere to the service was excellent. The food was outstanding; we ordered plenty of shrimp, steak, and sides, and loved every bite. It’s truly a perfect spot for a date night when visiting the city.

We went as a family and were treated very well despite most of the customers being couples dressed up. Delicious old school Italian steakhouse with fantastic service.

My husband and I were exploring Chicago on foot when we stumbled across Gene & Georgetti—a serendipitous find that turned into the highlight of our Father’s Day evening. What first caught our eye were the charming sidewalk tables surrounded by beautifully tended flowers. There was a warmth and care in the ambiance that drew us in before we even glanced at the menu.
Inside, the restaurant exuded old-school Italian charm with dark wood interiors, vintage memorabilia, and photographs of the iconic figures who’d dined there over the years. It felt like stepping into a timeless scene where every detail had a story. We were lucky to be seated upstairs in a room filled with the sounds of clinking glasses, conversation, and laughter.
Joey, our server, went above and beyond—his menu recommendations were perfect, and he made us feel genuinely cared for. We shared a crisp Caesar salad, then indulged in the handmade stuffed pasta and classic spaghetti, both of which were beautifully done. It was comfort food elevated by tradition, skill, and love.
Gene & Georgetti isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience filled with character, hospitality, and the kind of old-world- filled with Amore! Highly recommended for couples or small groups who appreciate timeless atmosphere, impeccable service, and food that warms the soul. We will definitely be back!

So disappointed. I’ve heard all kinds of good things about this place so we made a reservation for a special family moment. Two things about this place that sit home with us:
1) The waiter should’ve told us they were out of certain items when he handed us menus. Both for the main course and dessert. Because coincidentally, we picked items that were not available and felt let down, and had to go back and reprocess choices. 2) Don’t overcook the steak! Unbelievable. Medium rare was well done on the outside and medium on the inside. They offered to cook us another one, but I mean come on!? That’s not what we wanted. We wanted the one done correctly the first time. That’s all you Gotta do is cook a steak. And What I’m guessing should’ve been a nice fillet came out like an overcooked sirloin.
The meatball appetizer and the egg plant Parmesan were both very tasty. And kept us from giving a one star
Hopefully your experience is better, but we won’t be back. Too many other consistent steak places have treated us right in Chicago
