Local Business Spotlight Video: Gene & Georgetti in River North, Chicago
Posted by Jenny Maraccini on June 3, 2025
IRPINO Real Estate Presents our Local Business Spotlight series featuring local businesses in Chicago’s Uptown and Buena Park neighborhoods.
One of Chicago’s Oldest & Most Iconic Italian Steakhouses
June takes us to River North for a true Chicago classic. This month, we’re honored to spotlight Gene & Georgetti, one of the city’s oldest and most iconic Italian steakhouses—family owned and operated since 1941. For over 20 years, it’s been a special place for the IRPINO family, where Dominic and his loved ones have celebrated countless milestones over unforgettable meals. From famous steaks and chops to old-school charm (yes, we filmed in the Frank Sinatra booth), Gene & Georgetti is a living piece of Chicago history. We sat down with manager Angelo Yohanna to hear what makes this restaurant legendary—including what he calls “the best lamb chops on the planet.” Watch now to get a taste of tradition.
Special thanks to our partner QHI Media for helping with all our video needs.
