Gibsons Italia Chicago Reviews
Did not disappoint!!
Took my husband for his 60th birthday dinner on our Chicago trip. From the moment we walked in the door…we felt special. They greeted us by name and said happy birthday to him…every person we met! When I made the reservation I asked for a window table and told them about birthday and that he likes chocolate…we got it all! Superb attention to detail, wonderful dinner, attentive staff and a magnificent view. The prices are very reasonable, too!!! Would recommend and would most certainly come back again!! Filet was perfection, the “branzini”? fish was delicious and the $20 twice baked potatoe with truffle sauce was well worth it to split!!!
I recommend a reservation but there are sometimes open
I recommend a reservation but there are sometimes open tables in the bar area that are first come first serve. This restaurant is beautiful and the service is always spectacular. Every dish is cooked to perfection and wonderfully seasoned, you cannot go wrong with any of the dishes. The drinks are always exactly what you need after a long day. A cappuccino or an old fashion, you will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and try the apple and pumpkin buddino for dessert and thank me later.
Treated top shelf and flavor sensations.
I know I've seen the mushrooms in the menu in my he forest before but I guarantee you I cannot make them taste like this!
Lovely place for a special occasion, to bring visitors, or
Lovely place for a special occasion, to bring visitors, or just for a fancy night out! I came here with family visiting from out of town. Although the food and drinks were fantastic, the showstopper is the view of the skyline from the dining room. We were seated in a beautiful raised booth towards the back of the dining room, but the floor is tiered so we were slightly higher than the rest of the room and were still able to appreciate the amazing view. The food speaks for itself, and there is something for every taste. We enjoyed a seafood platter, a famous Gibson's filet, a couple different pasta dishes, and the tiramisu for dessert. Our server was welcoming and helpful. Fantastic and special night out with the best company.
Visiting Chicago and a friend recommended this place.
Wow. Did not disappoint. Sat in the bar and got lucky with a table by the window with a gorgeous nighttime view of the Chicago skyline. Stuck with appetizers and had a great meal. The oysters were great, The crab n Avocado parfait was a tasty surprise. The charcuterie plate was perfect to pick at. But, no matter how gorgeous the view was, no matter how good the food was, the true star of the evening was are server Carolina. Her smile and laugh was contagious. Her menu suggestions were spot on. Carolina was a ray of sunshine throughout the evening. A true superstar. We will be recommending Italia to everyone one we know coming to Chicago
This was our first time here, but our friends who live in
This was our first time here, but our friends who live in Chicago absolutely love it, so we decided to go here for dinner. We were able to grab a couple drinks at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. We were sat shortly after and had an amazing view from the booth we were in. Our server was really prompt, kind and knowledgeable. We decided to try a variety of things to start. We ordered the East Coast oysters on a half show, meatballs and focaccia. They we all pretty good, my favorite by far was the bread. Super yummy! For our entrée, we decided to share the tomahawk ribeye and get the spicy rigatoni pasta. I really like the presentation of the tomahawk, but we ordered it medium rare and the steak was very extremely under. We kept it because we didn't wanna keep our friends from eating. The rigatoni was good, but not out of this world. Feel like it could have use some more flavor or kick to it. My friend ordered the risotto with scallops. I would say that was absolutely amazing and next time I would probably order that instead. Overall it was pretty good and would be open to trying something else on the menu next time we go.
My husband took me there for my birthday.
I liked the service because the place was packed yet we were served in an adequate time. The food was OK. I would recommend it.
Wow. Couldn't have been a more spectacular night. Gibsons
Wow. Couldn't have been a more spectacular night. Gibsons is the cream of the crop, we decided to give Gibsons Italia a spin and we were blown away. Attentive and caring staff from start to finish. The menu is somewhat extensive and we were indecisive, our waiter helped us find a few selections that we must try. We opted for more of the Italian experience over steaks. Bourbon selection was fantastic - I opted for a pour of their Weller 107 barrel pick, which was ridiculously good. Apps we tried: -Arancini were delicious but not sure if I'd order again as we had so much to eat and the other apps were the best -Focaccia bread and ricotta is a must order. -Meatballs were some of the best I've ever had. Also a must order. Very hearty and zesty. Mains: -Chicken Parmesan - huge cut of chicken, we split this and ordered 2 separate pastas. I believe this also came with a small side of the spicy rigatoni which was to die for. -Spaghettini & meatballs - usually I don't order this but after having the meatballs appetizer I had to have more. The pasta was so good and is comparable to the feel of pasta you might get in Italy. -Cacio E Pepe - my wife ordered this, looked great. She also complimented that the pasta was premium quality and handmade. Overall a fantastic night. The layout of the restaurant is amazing with fantastic views over the river. Gibsons Italia is a must visit for anyone who comes to Chicago.
Amazing spot! Amazing service!!! Our server Moses was the
Amazing spot! Amazing service!!! Our server Moses was the man and made our night so special!!! Fantastic food and a super memorable evening
Decided to celebrate a special occasion with my boyfriend
Decided to celebrate a special occasion with my boyfriend and called to see if it would be possible to get us a spot by the window; they said they would certainly do their best, but couldn't guarantee anything. We went a little earlier for dinner on a Thursday so I thought we might have some luck, but you never know. Gibsons hooked us up. We got a window table and the views were just absolutely spectacular. The service (both from waitstaff and management) was great. I didn't want to take a prime table for too long but was told to take our time and enjoy the view, which was appreciated. Immediately were checked on when sun was shining a bit brightly off a building for a brief period. Little things that added up. We got a lot of classics like branzino, potato purée ("butter, butter, butter" as its description on the menu was a bit of a selling point), and risotto with scallops. Loved everything, and the dessert (banana gelato) was a fun surprise. Thank you for making a special night infinitely more special!
First time here and the vibe, the drinks and the food are
First time here and the vibe, the drinks and the food are spot on! Taylor, our bartender on the second floor, was absolutely amazing. Great recommendations for both food and drink along with great conversation. We had the King crab, the meatballs and the steak tartare! All three excellent choices. The smokiness of the tartare and the texture - hands down probably the best I've had!
Top Notch
Top Notch in every aspect. We were a party of 15 - from steaks to fish to pasta, cocktails, service, view and ambience — perfect. Highly recommend the petite filet and salmon dishes. Tiramisu and Banana Gelato were delish - only wish they offered the same HUGE wedge of chocolate cake that Gibson’s Steak House offers. We were celebrating a 90th and a 22nd birthday - and Team Gibson’s made it memorable. Thank you!
I heard great things about this restaurant so I had high
I heard great things about this restaurant so I had high expectation. We started off with the meatball and bread with honey ricotta and balsamic. They were both really good. We also go the steak which was one of my favorites. As well as a pasta dish and some sides. Service was good and loved the environment and view.
Everything was delicious.
The view is beautiful, especially if you get to sit by the windows. Everyone is always so friendly. Book in advance!
I'd never been to this location until I was invited to a
I'd never been to this location until I was invited to a luncheon here, on the rooftop, which is an indoor room on the 4th floor with its own bar and restroom. It was very nice, with a gorgeous view of the river (which is straight across from my office.) We were treated to champagne and appetizers, before being treated to more appetizers which I don't know the names of and our choice of entree from a prix fixe menu. The standouts for me were the lobster skewers and the chicken Caesar salad I had. Several colleagues had the filet mignon sliders which were big! The buns were a lot of bread but they did look good and definitely filling. They brought bowls of fries to each table too and those were great! We had wine and coffee with dessert, which was a tray of cannolis and ramekins of yummy tiramisu! While this event was private and different than a usual dining experience, the food was so good that I would love to return for dinner sometime.
Would definitely come back for a nice dinner if we visit
Would definitely come back for a nice dinner if we visit again. I didn't snap a photo of the view but this place is right on the water and has a gorgeous view of the city. The food was all so amazing. Steaks were cooked perfectly and came with a whole roasted garlic on the side. Drinks were incredible. Of course we got dessert. I got banana gelato which came in an Oreo crust and my husband ordered pistachio gelato. I think that was the best pistachio gelato we've had. We've been spoiled now - hope to find some as good back home. Our server was very attentive and professional. Also gave us some great recs for the next time we visit. Hope to come back in the future.
Gibson Italia ATE!!! The Carrara 640 wagyu melted in my
Gibson Italia ATE!!! The Carrara 640 wagyu melted in my mouth, the brussel sprouts were a perfect pair and sweet and spicy and that twice baked ricotta potato was delicious! The service was hands down the best part. Our server Conner was knowledgeable, attentive, and the sweetest guy ever. The ambiance was top tier for a gyrl who loves all the finer things. I loved it here and will definitely be back.
Loved the ambiance and gorgeous view of the river, downtown.
Food was superb especially loved the rigatoni and steak. The service was top notch.
Great dining experience if you're looking for a 5 star
Great dining experience if you're looking for a 5 star upscale restaurant. I've been here a dozen times because I work in the building so we're here for business/client lunches all the time and I like to come with my peeps when we're looking for a nice downtown dinner spot. Food is always outstanding. My favorites are the chicken parmigiana, they give you this huge piece of chicken with a bone in it and with the cheese melted perfectly, the portion is so huge and it comes with a side of pasta. I love their lobster bisque soup, their Caesar salad, their octopus, their cacio Pepe pasta and their salmon. All excellent dishes. Service is always A plus, great vibe with beautiful views of downtown and overlooking the Chicago River. There is valet parking and also street meter parking. Can't go wrong here for lunch, dinner or just popping in for a cocktail.
We were visiting the area of Chicago and came in for
We were visiting the area of Chicago and came in for dinner, our experience was great from start to finish.. from a host greeting you at the entrance, took our coats and stored them for us, then guided us to the elevator to the dining room.. we were greated by the Manager, Hugo Gonzalez who was very attentive and made sure all needs were being met. Our server, Billy was exceptionally amazing, he went above and beyond. The food was delicious and the prices are very reasonable Drinks and desserts, Amazing also.. if you're in the downtown area this is a place to try.
My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at
My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Gibsons Italia. I politely requested a table with a nice view ahead of time. They gave us one of the best tables in the house! Amazing view. Food and service were off the charts good. Very thankful they helped make the evening so special for us.
Can't recommend this place enough.
Went here to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend and had a phenomenal experience, from waiting from our table to be ready to cashing out. Great views in the dining room. The food was unbelievably good -- the wagyu tartare, the Chicago cut, and the spicy rigatoni were mind blowing. The highlight of our experience was our server Caitlin, who pulled out all the stops to make sure that we had a great experience. Don't get me wrong, the food was amazing, but the service put this place over the top. Can't recommend it enough.
Great grilled octopus and branzino! But it's loud.
Nice views of the city and the food was good—the grilled octopus appetizer was outstanding, and the branzino was cooked perfectly (Brussels sprouts sides were a little over-charred but still good). The only downside was it was a little loud.
Recommended by a friend as number 1 in downtown and he was correct
We were in Chicago for the weekend looking for a location for a high quality meal. A friend who lives in Chicago recommended this location by far and away his number 1 in the city. We walked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch with no reservation and got seated at the bar. We enjoyed cocktails, shared a seafood tower for two and shared a pasta dish. The bar tender was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu, she made great drinks, and gave us great recommendations for dinner that night. We would have loved to do dinner, but you have to book way ahead to get a table - but if planning a trip to Chicago you should book ahead as this location is exceptional.
Wonderful leisurely lunch!
We sat at the bar for a leisurely lunch yesterday. Service was great, chatted with the bartender who was lovely, informative about the food and wine and gave us great tips on other restaurants and bars. Both the food and wine were excellent. We shared a fish platter with lobster, oysters, snow crabs and shrimp. It was wonderful! Then we shared the mafaldine with a meat sauce. Amazing! We wanted to go in the evening but couldn’t get a table so we decided to go for lunch. So glad we did!
top chicago restaurant
had reservation wanted main dining room, but they running late so we sat in bar in area (felt like a bait and switch), but bar area is nice too. great menu, nice service, hip and trendy vibe. food was very good: pasta delicious, steak high quality, Original gibsons has a bit more magic since that is an institution, but this will get there.
Would definitely return here👍
Most impressive on every level! Started on the second floor for cocktails, which were amazing. They have a sommelier in the lounge area ready to help, too. Once in the restaurant, food and service were incomparable. Wine list super with another knowledgeable sommelier. And don’t forget the view of the Chicago river.
Great ambience, service, food: staggering wide-angle views.
Came here after the laughably awful Dutchman at the Lyric nearby. Welcomed successively by car valet, doorman, receptionists, and maitre d' on the sumptuous third floor. Seated at a booth in back of the room with distractingly good, wide light-show views NE over river/city/traffic/trains. Food faultlessly good including: lobster cocktails, beet salads, grilled fresh branzino, and veal chop Milanese, with side order brussels and grilled asparagus were all of highest quality. Charming head waiter even knew how to fix sgroppinos for dessert (as we had been talking about Venice for some reason). Anyway - another fantastic Gibson dining room. Thanks so much guys.
Fantastic Experience
Great food, great service, and great views of downtown Chicago. My wife and I went here with my sister and her husband and had a booth facing the Chicago skyline. We shared the focaccia, risotto and octopus antipasti. I especially recommend the charred octopus. The filet mignon with bearnaise sauce was excellent.
Amazing dinner with a killer view.
Loved it. First father and son trip to the Windy City. The view, staff, and food were all superb. The wagyu tartare was the star of the show, but it was all delicious. We could have sat there all night admiring the veiw, and we did not feel rushed a bit. I can't wait to take my wife back for a romantic dinner.
Fabulous atmosphere, great food
What an atmospheric restaurant in a great location. We dined with local friends who are clearly regulars, they knew their way around the menu (when to share platers, what to order extra) and the delightful waitrons knew them too, bringing us delicious additional pasta dishes and a bonus dessert! Somehow the three hours of dining passed in a flash. This is a great place for stylish fun dining
Gibsons service was impeccable.
Every staff member was gracious and emanated positive professional vibes. We got lucky and had a fabulous window view in March just in time for Sunset. We were greeted with complimentary Prosecco and our choice of water(bubbles or still). The food was extremely high quality fresh while being plated flawlessly. My Expresso Martini was constructed so well , ordering another was a must . My Partner ordered a medium priced glass of Chardonnay presented in the perfect glass and ordered a twenty year Tawny port as dessert. Both selections were spot on . We both wanted to keep selecting dishes from the menu , the portions are generous so we happily settled with our first choices. Rib Eye Steak , Sea scallops on Risotto, Beet Salad , Mozzarella & Prosciutto, Hen of the Woods Mushrooms ! We will make reservations again today as it takes sometime to get the time and date you desire.Love Gibsons Italia .
LOVED this restaurant! I would 100% come back l again in
LOVED this restaurant! I would 100% come back l again in the summer. The restaurant is right off the river, the views are amazing, and the food is too. The staff members were friendly, the manager came to our table to make sure we were comfortable and everyone treated us like ROYALTY. At the end of our dinner the staff gave us two free desserts for our anniversary, it was labeled & even had a candle. We were seated comfortably in a big table with a good view as well. We started off with the crabmeat & avocado parfait and trust me you cannot go wrong with this dish! It was flavorful and a great way to start our dinner. For our main course we had the spicy rigatoni and the king salmon with asparagus and roasted artichoke & oh my gosh it was phenomenal. 10/10 recommend!
Gibson's Italia is a 10/10.
Great service, extremely knowledgable staff. The ambiance was fantastic and the food was extremely high quality. Highly recommend the stone crab and oysters.
came here for my husband's birthday dinner.
we were both starving and quite excited at the prospect of a great meal. the restaurant seemed pretty dark. No ambient lighting, just kind of dark. no big deal. They started us off with some complementary proseco which was very nice. We ordered a few starters and I ordered a dirty martini which was very good. The starters were meh. the Italian chopped salad was very vinegary. the crab and avocado parfait was pretty bland. the worst part was the prosciutto and mozzarella - the mozzarella was fizzy. which means it was off. the server didn't come to check on us for a long long time. when the person clearing the plates came and asked if he can clear we asked him to tell the server that the mozzarella was off. The server came and and apologized and took it away and and said he would strike it off our bill. main was nice. steak. fries. side of mushrooms. We picked tiramisu for dessert. it was ok, not bad. it came to the table with a candle. pretty unceremonious. the bill came and it was over $300 and the expired mozzarella dish was not taken off the bill. The server said he 'had six things going on on so' and only then struck it off. all in all disappointing for such a well to do establishment. we chose it because it was a special occasion and it was very underwhelming. pity.
Apparently Gibson's is an institution in Chicago and among
Apparently Gibson's is an institution in Chicago and among other locales. It's definitely worth a visit. I was first impressed with the bar scene and a great selection of single malts that were surprisingly well priced. What was better was that they give a 2 oz pour so if you're looking to try something then Gibsons is a good place to taste. The bartender, Brian, was fantastic and welcoming. We chatted about spirits and the menu before the rest of my party arrived for a work dinner. The menu is top notch. I had the lobster bisque and the king salmon. Both were beyond tasty. The service was without fail and everything was in order the entire night. We finished with tiramisu and coffee, and what a finish it was, delicious!I'm not sure of the rating, but this has to be at least a 4-star restaurant. Still, all around it was a 5-star experience for me!
Fantastic chef's special: three exceptional aged steaks
Fantastic chef's special: three exceptional aged steaks served on a cutting board, including two marrow bones and baked garlic bulbs. Dessert of tiramisu and a cappuccino was a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Service was fantastic! Add to this a city/river view and great vibe for a memorable meal. We are visiting from Hawai'i and are very glad we chose Gibson's Italia!
The ambiance and the view of the place really made it stand
The ambiance and the view of the place really made it stand out. I took one of my close friends/clients here and we enjoyed everything about the experience.
We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my husband's
We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our server, Adam, was attentive and professional and had a great sense of humor. Steak restaurants in Chicago are a dime a dozen. Service and food quality make each unique. Gibsons Italia stands out for both!!!Our favorite food items:Cacio e Pepe Arancini Spicy RigatoniFilet Cacio e Pepe pasta Focaccia We could've ordered 10 more items from the menu but we would've been sick. Every item was amazing!!!The views were also incredible!!! Wonderful dinner!!
We had dinner last night at Gibsons with my wife, service
We had dinner last night at Gibsons with my wife, service was great, food was good, but as soon as we arrived home, our stomach start to act weird, we end up with food poisoning, spending all night in the restroom, because i'm in restaurant industry, i called them today, just to let them know that someone fucked up in the kitchen last night, there was no manager available , and I mention to the hostess, that we had food poisoning, she said someone's gonna call back, and no one did...overall-unpleasant experience.
In a city that boasts of a variety of fine steakhouses,
In a city that boasts of a variety of fine steakhouses, Gibsons Italia does it part to stand out. Came here for Valentine's Day on the Monday and it did not disappoint. Definitely make a reservation and expect to pay downtown prices for your meal but everything is cooked to perfection and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're n a movie. Great place for a special dinner. The Chicago Cut ribeye bone-in was what stood out to me. Cooked to perfection.
I had lunch at the restaurant with 2 colleagues.
All I can say is WOW! The decor was beautiful, the wait staff was attentive and professional, and the food was wonderful. I will bring my husband and sisters to the restaurant for lunch and dinner. Terrific lunch. By the way, I had the sea bass. Marvelous!
I really had higher expectations.
I went here for lunch with my husband for my birthday. They did absolutely nothing for my birthday. No dessert, not even wishing me a happy birthday. The service was pretty bad. Our waiter was not friendly and couldn't answer any questions I had about the menu. He also didn't try and find any answers. The food was hit or miss. The crab bisque was the best thing we had. This was a really good soup. We had the arancini and steak tartare. Both were ok. We had the tomahawk, French fries, mashed potatoes, and the scallop risotto. The sides were ok. The steak was pretty good. The risotto was also good, but very very rich. We had leftovers, and the risotto completely solidified, because there is sooo much butter in it. Just based on the service, I won't be back.
Incredible service, incredible food.
We tried almost all the appetizers, beef carpaccio and Brussels sprouts were our favorites. My filet was cooked to perfection. Worth every last penny. Highly recommend.
This place was amazing.
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.
One of the Best Steak Houses in Chicago, can’t go wrong with beautiful views, incredible food and phenomenal service!
One of the best restaurants in Chicago! Incredible views of the river and city, outstanding service and delicious food. We feel like family when we arrive, John Pienta and Adam Solberg are usually our waiters and two of most incredible staples of GI. John is always incredibly helpful and his recommendations whether couples night or out with friends are always spot in! William Murphy is the GM and is always available and ready to ensure we have an incredible experience. Caccio de peppa and focaccia are our favorite appetizers. We also love the seafood towers. Steaks are phenomenal w a side of Brussel sprouts, fries and hen of woods mushrooms… what else to have a perfect dinner. We are high on life after our recent dinner with friends. Have nothing but great things to say about this incredible restaurant.
Homeless camp
Restaurant is nice but in the middle of a homeless camp. We were harassed by homeless people in the way in and out...can't even walk on the sidewalk or avoid it.
Terrible service, overpriced, and ordinary food
This is an overpriced, average food, and poor customer service restaurant. Mostly for out of towners and large corporate events. I came here with a reservation and waited for 40mins before being seated. The servers were slow and sloppy. Dropped water on the table multiple times trying to rush things. Finally, the main server dropped a full dish over my jacket. The server and receptionist gave me the owners contact information (someone named Andrew) promising "free dry cleaning and even a new jacket if you would like". I contacted the person and never even got a response. Terrible place run by terrible people.
Gibsons Italia
Great experience from the greeting to the service to the food. Of course, I am especially interested in the food which was excellent.
