About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
Si parla Italiano! Since its doors opened in 1988, Gianni Delisi’s family-run Italian trattoria has flourished as a mainstay on the Chicago restaurant scene. Trattoria Gianni’s menu features a diverse selection of regional Italian dishes, augmented with superb daily specials and a delicious dessert menu. Gianni’s boasts an extensive wine list, a full bar and a great selection of grappas. The restaurant has been awarded 3 stars from the Chicago Tribune, 3 1/2 stars from the Chicago Sun Times and has consistently received excellent ratings from Zagats. Located in the heart of the Lincoln Park theater district — directly across the street from Steppenwolf theater and around the corner from Royal George — Trattoria Gianni’s has long been a destination of theatergoers before and after the shows.

    This was a first time visit. Classic, Chicago Italian restaurant feel that is warm and inviting. The place was packed so the volume is high, but that’s to be expected. Lively atmosphere. Service was a bit slow to start but then they found their groove. Very good cocktails and food. They are very accustomed to a pre-theater crowd so this worked perfectly. Looking forward to trying the patio this summer.

    Very nice authentic Italian restaurant! Great service and great tasting food. Portions were a little small for the price, but still a very nice restaurant that I would recommend.

    We went because of its location to the Steppenwolf Theater and because they had Veal Saltimbocca. The veal was amazing. It is my favorite and it was the best restaurant Saltimbocca I have had. They have a very nice wine list priced “reasonably”. Service was great and paced well. Very nice dinner.

    Very disappointing. Duck breast consisted of two small slices with lots of fat. Two small polenta "sticks."
