Reviews for Gibsons Italia in Chicago, IL
Special occasion meal for a friends birthday and it certainly was special. Lively atmosphere, without it being too over... stimulating. Clear and open, with lovely views to the river, which became more beautiful in the evening. Our waiter Ugo, wasan utter delight. Very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had about the menu or drinks. Very much a restaurantfor the carnivores, but no complaints from me. All the dishes we had were outstanding. If the asparagus is available make sureyou get it! Read more

Highly recommend the veal and oysters. 10/10 experience andthey went all out for my friends birthday that we were celebrating. Such a fantastic experience. Will be back!! Read more
Extremely pleasant wait staff. Polite, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The interior atmosphere is high end and welcoming. It... is a high-end food experience. Now the food itself is good but nothing spectacular. I had a classic spaghetti and meatballs. Thesauce itself was something that I would make at home from scratch. Very good, but identical. The meatballs, however, had anoverwhelming citrusy flavor, like lemon, which was off putting. I did mention this to the waiter who offered to take it off thebill or offer me a new one, but I had already finished it. The prawns were $20 for 4. They were average but the sauce was good.The desert was complimentary, which was so nice, but I found it to be a bit too dense. And I love dark chocolate but it seemedtoo strong. It’s a good place to go for the atmosphere, but the food is not spectacular. Maybe the steak is better, but basedon these dishes I wouldn’t bet on it. Read more
100% recommend. I ordered the mafaldine and I’d say it’s one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. Could have cleaner plating,... but great flavor and well balanced dish. We also ordered the U-12 prawns which were average I’d say and the Brussel sproutswhich were great and should not be passed up. The staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was exciting. My boyfriendand I also went here for our anniversary and they gave us a complimentary dessert to celebrate which was extremelythoughtful. The view is also unbeatable. Eating amazing Italian food by the view of the city is unforgettable. Loved it andwould definitely come back. Read more
This is hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Looking at the front of this restaurant, you would not expect the... fantastic view that you are about to enjoy. Even more of a reason to go to a restaurant is the food. So incredibly delicious.Steak, brussel sprouts, twice baked potato (outstanding), and then dessert. I don’t think the desert lived up to par on therest of the meal, but it was beautiful. Our server and all of the rest of the staff had tended to us and everyone else there. Iwas in awe and will absolutely return. Read more
Went to celebrate an engagement and it was amazing. The staff was so nice and made our group feel very special. I got the spicy... rigatoni which was AMAZING!!! It wasn't exactly spicy just so flavorful, and the fresh ricotta on top was literally heaven in mymouth. Spaghetti and meatballs were amazing too and so was the steak. The drinks were also very good. Our waiter was so nice.The view is absolutely STUNNING. If you're celebrating something this is THE place to go. We got complimentary wine and dessertfor our friends engagement. The dessert was outstanding. For a place that fancy our bills weren't even that high. I will comeback every time I go to Chicago Read more
Went to gibsons for a casual lunch on Saturday with some close friends. Let's start off by saying great service, solid location... and perfect ambience. Definitely a spot for a celebration and not just your casual hang. Food: Focaccia: 4.5/5 buttery and ohso good Roasted beet salad: 3.5/5 Prosciutto Di San: 4.5/5 HUGE portion so tasty Double baked Potato: 4/5 v interesting anddelicious Spicy Rigatoni: 5/5 unreal + meatball was a great add on Our party also ordered the steak and tuna salad but I thinkthe pasta's really stood out the most. Service: 5/5 we always had someone helping us which was great. Price was honestly veryvery reasonable for the atmosphere + quality of food/service. Close to $18/19 for a hearty portion of pasta that was absolutelydelicious!. Overall, the menu was very limited but everything was incredibly well done. Price to food ratio was honestly off thecharts for such an upscale joint so I was thoroughly impressed. 100% will need to come back and try a couple more items! Read more
