Gene & Georgetti

Steak house · River North

@infatuation

"Gene & Georgetti is quintessential old-school Chicago, and we love it for that. It’s technically a steakhouse—in fact, it’s Chicago’s oldest steakhouse, since it’s been around since 1944. But it was opened by two Italian guys, which means this is a great spot to get Italian food, too. Come here and split items like steak, sausage and peppers, and a giant bowl of spaghetti with meatballs." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
