Jane & Michael Stern

"Gene & Georgetti is one of my favorite places to eat ever, anywhere. If you are not a carnivore, the shrimp de jonghe is probably the greatest Chicago dish going."

Time Out

"Servers range from formal to gruff, but they mean well and they deliver the goods: textbook veal Vesuvio and garlicky shrimp De Jonghe that the veteran staff swears the joint invented."

Jonathan Gold

"This is also the place to try shrimp de Jonghe, a great, neglected thirties Chicago dish of shrimp sautéed with oil, bread crumbs, and an immoderate quantity of garlic."

Heather Sperling

"Don't waste space on pasta--instead, try Shrimp de Jonghe: rich, buttery shrimp topped with garlic- and wine-spiked breadcrumbs (tip: ask that your side of cottage fries comes crispy)."

Matt Kirouac

"Must-order: Start with the garlicky shrimp de Jonghe and follow up with a broiled fillet for the main course."

Heather Sperling

"Gene & Georgetti's version of Chicken Vesuvio shines: The chicken is chopped into small pieces, pan-fried until extra-crisp and bathed in garlic and herbs (all white or all dark meat is available by request)."

Dennis Lee

"Normally I don't care much for ordering chicken, but when it arrived sizzling, I became excited. The cubed potatoes were wonderfully crispy and golden on the outside, the insides piping hot and pillowy. When doused in the garlic, oil, and white wine sauce, they were a guilty pleasure."

Joanne Trestrail

"There's nothing wrong with rocking it old school: Start with shrimp de Jonghe, and finish, satisfyingly, with cannoli."

Kat Mikkelson

"Harry Caray’s makes a mean version that they assert dates back to the 1920s, as does the venerable Gene & Georgetti."
