Gibson's Italia is an overachiever. There's not just that great Gibson's steak but platters of crudo, towers of shellfish and ethereal house made pasta. On three levels. With two fireplaces and a roof deck that wows with skyline and river views.
Everyone's offering a crudo app these days but Gibson's tempts with Bigeye tuna, Ora King salmon toro and wild striped bass and the antipasti selection is equally seductive. Pasta is hand made daily with Italian heritage organic stone-ground flour.
If you're indulging infrequently or it's a special occasion, consider the pure Japanese Kobe cut to order or another international selection. It's all fabulous since everything is USDA Gibsons Prime Angus. The 16-ounce, bone-in New York strip or a 22-ounce Chicago cut up your iron count in a most pleasurable way. Choose among 25 wines by the glass or a Midwest whiskey from a small-batch distillery.

- Steakhouses: "You may be stuffed like a righteous rigatoni but how can you bypass banana gelato with Oreo crust, salted caramel and brûléed bananas?"
- Best for Steakhouses Because: It's everything you love about Gibson's plus sophisticated Italian dishes, a ridiculously extensive wine list and drop dead gorgeous looks.
