Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse - River North

Iconic/NotableRiver North · Italian Steakhouse Community-sourced, unverified
📍 33 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654

Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse sits at Kinzie and Dearborn in a building that was designed for exactly this — 1,500 pieces of real baseball memorabilia lining the walls, from a Sammy Sosa-signed bat to Harry Caray's own trademark oversized eyeglasses, in a dining room that's part restaurant and part shrine to the Cubs broadcaster it's named for.

$$$
Chicken Vesuvio — bone-in chicken with roasted wedge potatoes, peas, and a white-wine garlic sauce — was Harry Caray's own favorite dish and the one the kitchen is actually known for, served inside a dining room packed with 1,500 pieces of real baseball memorabilia.

The dish to order isn't a steak, even in a steakhouse: Chicken Vesuvio — bone-in chicken braised with roasted wedge potatoes, sweet peas, and a white-wine garlic sauce, a dish invented in Chicago in the 1920s — was reportedly Caray's own favorite, and the kitchen's version is the one the restaurant group built its whole Italian-steakhouse identity around. OpenTable diners have left over 5,000 reviews averaging 4.7, a number that holds up for a restaurant trading this hard on nostalgia; the food has to actually be good to survive five-plus-thousand reviews on name recognition alone.

No location-specific happy hour or bar special turned up for this Kinzie Street original — just the memorabilia, the Vesuvio, and decades of broadcasting history hanging on the walls.
