Great small italian restaurant. Good menu selection and specials. My family has enjoyed several meals here.
Great old fashioned restaurant - if you want something out of an old Chicago setting movie, this is it. Usually a wait, but sidle up to the bar and people watch and the wait is worth it. The servings are plentiful, with great steaks. I haven't tried the pastas, but they also seem to be huge portio...
One of the country's best steak houses. Old time Chicago. Great crowded bar with lots of hussle & bussle. You'd think Al Capone was going to walk in any minute! Don't miss the garbage salad.
Was looking for Al to walk in also! Fantastic old Chicago feel!! If you are in Chicago, make this your first stop!
We don't visit Chicago without an evening in Gibson's. Have waited an hour for a table with a reservation and still no complaints! Outstanding lobster and steak combo.
I have just visited this restaurant 09/19/2010. I have been going to this place for years and have had many great meals with family and friends. My experience this Sunday was fine, but I think I may have been over charge on the bill. It wasn't by much, but as I compared my order per the on line menu...
Best kept secret in Chicago. Excellent Italian
Restaurant
Fabulous food! Just like Italy! The best gnocci I've had since I got back from Italy, as a matter of fact. Service was very nice as well.
Worst experience of my life! The food was not fresh and tasted bad. The owner started yelling at me and told me never to come back. Wow, that's great service!
Great basic Italian food! Would definitely go again.
The food was excellent! Can't wait to go back.
I have eaten in many fine restaurants throughout the world and this is definitely a winner and a hidden gem. The service was impeccable, the presentation was exceptional and the food was as good as you will find with respect to fundamental Italian. We enjoyed the grilled calamari, angel hair pasta...
My family and I ate at La Luce a few years ago, and we still talk about it all the time. It was EXCELLENT! I can't wait to go back to Chicago so I can get another taste of La Luce.
I like the food and the service so much...that I decide to have my wedding there. I took my (then) girlfriend for our 2yr anniversary. The food was perfect but it can get a little crowded on certain nights/weekends. The desserts are also delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant for all occ...
The best Italian restaurant in Stafford that's for sure. The wine list is extended with mostly Italian Wines. The service is very amicable and prompt.

what a cool atmosphere, worth visiting just for a look, but the food is great too
great great restaurant, a must visit everytime I go to chicago
Excellent food served up in huge portions!! Two of us split a 1/2 plate and brought home leftovers. Order the chocolate cake for dessert. But, be prepared to wait in line for a table (approx. 1.5 hours on a Friday night). However, there is an excellent Irish pub across the street to kill the tim...
This place has excellent Italian food with an extremely friendly staff! If you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner, maybe the patio outside will better suit you and your date! It is really loud in the resturant part, but what do you expect, it's an Italian restaurant! We tend to be loud famil...
Excellent food and service. this is a long time family owned business and that alone should tell you that the quality is consistent. I would recommend Monastero's for any function. You will not be disappointed.
