Chicago has made it here. I am a Chicagoan and was a big fan of Gino's East in Chicago. Then I was introduced to Lou Malnatis. Ever since I can't go any where else.
Now with the new hours, we braves it with the kids and had a great time in the early afternoon. Don't expect trendy Scottsdale or the urban uplift of Phoenix...this place feels like home...Chicago. The warmth and simplicity were great. I will say I wished the waiter was a bit more attentive with bringing water to the table as my glass was empty. But, in Chicago they don't drink too much water like Arizonans.
They'll learn!
