"Chicago’s oldest steakhouse opened in 1941. The steaks are simply wet-aged before being thrown in the broiler. Wait staff still dresses in white coats, which gives the space a special feel. Don’t sleep on the deep Italian wine list. This place has survived fires and continues to represent the best Chicago has to offer. In 2024, owner Tony Durpetti died, leaving the business to his daughter, Michelle, who keeps the restaurant in tip-top condition." - Ashok Selvam
