Our Rosemont location has been undergoing a quiet evolution, and now proudly launches a refreshed culinary concept and brand design.
With a rich history as Chicago’s steakhouse since1941, our original River North location is known for large portions, classic service, excellent steaks and a feeling of comforting nostalgia as you walk through the door.
Under the direction of third generation operator Michelle Durpetti, it was important to our family that- in addition to these brand hallmarks- our Rosemont location places a stronger emphasis on our family’s rich Italian heritage.
“This new menu took over a year to create. It involved research trips to Italy, wine tastings, and a lot of discussion,” says Durpetti. “Our objective was to develop a concept in Rosemont that celebrates the timelessness of the Gene & Georgetti brand, while also allowing our Rosemont location to stand outside of the shadow of its predecessor and instead have a beautiful, strong identity of its own.”
The new menu is also a collaboration of both chefs: Luis Brizuela, executive chef in Chicago, and Cristiano Bassani, the new executive chef in Rosemont. Brizuela has been with Gene & Georgetti for over 20 years and is a passionate, perpetual student of all things steak, while Bassani is classically trained in the Italian kitchen. Their combination of knowledge manifests in a symphony of delicious food.
