Located in the heart of River North, Gene & Georgetti is Chicago’s oldest and one of its finest st Together in 1941, they founded Gene and Georgetti.
Gene & Georgetti was founded in 1941 by Gene Michelotti and his partner Alfredo Federighi, who was nicknamed “Georgetti” after a famous Italian cyclist. Located in the heart of River North, Gene & Georgetti is Chicago’s oldest and one of its finest steakhouses. Partners Gene and “Georgetti” worked hand in hand to establish the reputation of excellence that is continued through today. Born in the s
20 years ago today, we lost the matriarch of our family. However we know she is with us every day. Ida’s spirit, wit, humor, grace + style are felt throughout the restaurant. She was our first official bookkeeper in addition to being Gene’s beloved wife, and Marion’s mom (Michelle’s grandmother).
We are proud of the long line of strong, expressive, passionate women in our family who have contributed so much toward making Gene & Georgetti what it is. 🤍

For the first time in our 80+ year history, Gene & Georgetti is proud to present the 2020 vintage of Le Pergole Torte, now available in an exclusive magnum size. 🍷
Le Pergole Torte is more than just a wine; it’s an Italian icon. Renowned for its exceptional quality and rarity, it’s a gem that often sells out quickly and is highly sought after on the secondary market. A stunning example of an IGT Super Tuscan from Radda in Chianti, this is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
And this is just the beginning—stay tuned as we expand our selection with more exceptional offerings from the legendary Montevertine winery.
Congratulations to Ana & Matthew! Thank you for celebrating your most special day with us! Megan Magee Photography these photos are ✨✨✨🤩
So many people have said to us over the years, “if only these walls could talk…” but we believe they do! The art, photos and items you see throughout the restaurant tell the story of our heritage, history and family.
Did you know that Gene’s wife was an avid needlepointer, and began this custom project (the cover of our original menu) in her 80’s. She had not finished it at her death, and her dear friend Dutchie Caray stepped in to see that it be completed. ❤️ Every time I walk by this, I think of these two incredible women with such wit + humor and friendship.
Now when you visit, you can know the story too. There are hundreds of stories throughout our wood frame building (which celebrates 150 years old this year!). Do you have a favorite piece? Tell us below! 👇🏼
