    Everything about Gene & Georgetti is amazing! I've been here before and fell in love with the Sausage & Peppers so had to find time to go back on a quick trip to Chicago. This place is authentic Chicago Italian - everything on the menu is great, it's got the dark and moody old school steakhouse vibe with Sinatra playing, and the service is top notch. This is a must-stop if you like great food, great service, and an amazing experience.
