[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ locked=”off”]The family behind the legendary Chicago steakhouse, Gene & Georgetti, now in its third generation, is proud to present Bar Ida. With a dedication to a core value of beliefs that includes a refusal to yield to trends, we strive to create something timeless that is unafraid to embrace evolution.<\/p>\n
For the first time in our eight decades, we are proud to introduce a new concept with Bar Ida. Remnant of your favorite local corner place in Florence, Milan, Bologna or Gene & Ida’s beloved Lucca, Bar Ida is a place where the coffee is superb, the menu locally sourced, the recipes are from our family, and the experience is authentic and fun. And let’s not forget about style, because Ida had loads of it. We can’t wait for you to see what we have created. <\/p>\n
Named after Ida Passaglia Michelotti, Gene’s wife, Bar Ida is located on some really hallowed ground. What does that mean? The building that now stands at Franklin & Illinois was for many years a parking lot for the assumption church, our family’s parish since immigrating here to Chicago from Lucca in the 30’s. Before it was a parking lot, it was actually tenement housing, and Ida lived there. It is also where she met a dear friend, Yolanda Michelotti, who would later introduce her friend to her brother, Gene. So you see, the bar had to be named after our beloved matriarch, because it is right here that Gene & Ida met and started our family, our tradition, and our story. <\/p>\n
We are bringing all of that tradition, and over 77 years of approachable, excellent, mindful service to this new River North location, opening in the fall of 2018.<\/p>\n
