very good dinner choice Trattoria Gianni is located right next to the theater making it an obvious choice when we have tickets. Great atmosphere, full bar serving the best grappa in town. Food is very good too! Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/15/2008
Go for the pasta, Stay for the dessert Went on a Saturday night around 8:30. Was shocked at how empty the place was. I immediately wondered if we shouldn't go somewhere else for Italian as there were only 3 other tables seated. I was very glad we stayed. The salads were excellent, extremely fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella - although the Caprese could use more than just one tiny fresh basil leaf. The rigatone dish w/ sun-dried...

We had a very nice time I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. It was wonderful. The staff/service and food was impeccable. We had a great time. Plus, it was so convenient from the Royal St. George theatre. I would highly recommend it. Read More On CitysearchNatalie 10/17/2002
Good before the show I took my family to Trattoria Gianni before the show at Steppenwolf and had a better time at dinner(though the show wasnt bad)! The wine list was quite impressive-though only featuring Italian wines-and our dishes came out great. My veal chop in barolo sauce was excellent and all fish dishes my family had were great. The pasta my girlfriend had was not quite al dente and a little watery but he... Read More On Citysearchda_mike 9/25/2002
