The West Loop Italian Restaurant Power Rankings - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Gino & Marty’s is a busy Italian clubstaurant on Randolph. It’s also expensive, chaotic, and not very good. The cramped dining room overflows with people waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time. Once seated, you’ll have an uninspired meal that’ll take way longer than it should, filled with overdressed salads and mealy pasta. And if you love mixing Chubby Checker’s music with overcooked $72 steak, you’re in luck: you’ll probably hear “The Twist” in between some show tunes. Just book a table at Monteverde instead." - nick allen, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
