Gibson's Italia is an overachiever. There's not just that great Gibson's steak but platters of crudo, towers of shellfish and delicate house-made pasta. On three levels. With two fireplaces and a roof deck that wows with skyline and river views.
The antipasti selection seduces from arancini made with one year aged risotto to lighter-than-air meatballs and pasta is hand made daily with Italian heritage organic stone-ground flour. Healthy eaters will go for oven roasted veg or an Italian Grain Bowl with arugula, farro, barley, lentil, black-eyed bean, avocado and dried flower pollen. Hearty panini ranges from grilled eggplant and zucchini to Italian Prime Rib.
If you're indulging infrequently or it's a special occasion, consider the pure Japanese Kobe cut to order. It's all fabulous since everything is USDA Gibsons Prime Angus. Choose among 25 wines by the glass or a Midwest whiskey from a small-batch distillery.
