“A big shoutout to our server Ivan who made our anniversary dinner so lovely!”
A big shoutout to our server Ivan who made our anniversary dinner so lovely!! The service was top notch, the views of the Chicago River were beautiful from our table, and food was delicious, from the focaccia app to the porterhouse to the side dishes. Honorable mention to the chocolate cake at the end: I usually don’t go for a chocolatey dessert but this one had beautifully chocolatey layers, perfect textures, DIVINE!

“Elijah took great care of us for our anniversary dinner.”
Elijah took great care of us for our anniversary dinner. The food was delicious, and even though we were full we had to eat every last drop. The views of the city cannot be beat. Overall 10/10 experience.

“A modern, upscale Italian restaurant beautifully located by the downtown Chicago River.”
A modern, upscale Italian restaurant beautifully located by the downtown Chicago River. We were offered a fantastic window table for our dinner and the server and staffs went above and beyond my expectation in their exceptional hospitality. All the plates we had — from appetizer and salad to the main steak and dessert — were undoubtedly delicious, too. Would love to dine at this charm again.

We had an amazing lunch on a beautiful Sunday. They sat us at a table by the window per our request and Ilarion went above and beyond to make our celebration very special. The brussel sprouts, papparedelle, and Chicago cut steak were delicious. We will be back!

“Can't go wrong with Gibsons.”
Can't go wrong with Gibsons. Then throw in Gibsons Italia's view! Wow... Great date night place! Patrick was an amazing maître'd and the bartenders top notch. I really enjoyed the steak tartare and the red wine suggested by the bartender paired well!

The View out the window on the third level is incredible. We got the Chicago Cut ribeye and it was delicious. It was a nice late night meal.

“Loved my experience at Gibson.”
Loved my experience at Gibson! We got king crab bisque, garlic focaccia, king crab arrabiata, cacio e peppe, rigatoni vodka. Server was very nice, they even help split the dishes since we had many people. Arrabiata could be 10x more spicy, but that's because I'm a spicy food eater. Great time celebrating my birthday here. Thanks Gibson team, we'll be back!
