The greenery is much like Pizzeria Portofino. The bar should be lively at night. Big groups will be competing with themselves for these large booths. Chicago River, Chicago, IL More From Eater Chicago. As Giuliana and Bill Rancic were dreaming up their Italian spot, they were approached by some of the biggest heavy-hitters in the biz, Lettuce Entertain You.
It's led by R. Lettuce Entertain You jumped at the opportunity to help the Rancics when the enterprise first caught wind of their Italian concept. Based on their long pedigree and expertise, they approached the Rancics and encouraged them to think beyond Mama DePandi's, as they felt it evoked dated images of Old World Italian and therefore could have face limitations.
Bill Rancic explained the relationship: "We made sure it was going to be the right partnerships because that's important. You don't want to get into business with someone and it not work out. We definitely took our time, and they got to know us, we got to know them, and it worked out great. The smashing success of their first venture led to the highly anticipated opening of their next spot, RPM Steak , in the summer of Chicago may be a city overrun with steakhouses, but RPM Steak holds its own.
While many steakhouses here are more of the old-school vibe think dark wood booths and men in suits sipping martinis , RPM Steak is meant to play to the younger crowd.
Of course, you'll find your usual suspects on the menu , inlcuding quality cuts of meat and stellar seafood , but you'll enjoy these in a more contemporary, albeit slightly scene-y setting.
Atmosphere aside, this restaurant has gone on to win numerous awards and accolades, including recognition from Michelin on their shortlist as one of Chicago's Best Steakhouses. This may be in part thanks to a more chef-driven approach than a casual steakhouse. The team handpicks over a dozen different cuts of meats and sources them from all over the world.
On any given night, you may find a Japanese Kobe A5 strip steak or a ounce grass-fed ribeye from Slagel Farm, located in Illinois. You'll also not want to overlook their nonsteak options, like their signature thick-cut bacon with bourbon-vanilla bean glaze or their coal-roasted king crab.
After the heightened success of two establishments in Chicago, Giuliana and Bill Rancic and Lettuce Entertain You saw the opportunity to bring their unique concepts to other cities. Housed in a former NPR building, the opening was a star-studded affair , bringing along with it a bit of glamour to the sometimes static and perhaps sleepy city.
According to the Washingtonian , the Rancics aren't the first celebrities to try to breathe life into the old city, but they may be the first to deliver with some seriously good eats. They have since been showcasing consistently good Italian-American bites to locals and visiting tourists who flock to the destination at the sheer chance they'll catch a glimpse of someone important. While it's been met with some reserve by critics perhaps they're a bit jaded , it's a welcome addition to an area that isn't exactly known for its Italian scene.
Popular dishes include their house-made Wagyu beef carpaccio and the meringue torte that is set aflame tableside. It's no surprise that while Giuliana and Bill Rancic are now successful restauranteurs, their entrepreneurship is firmly planted in their television roots. Giuliana moved from Italy to America and credits local news anchors with assisting her in learning English.
After obtaining her master's degree, she arrived in Los Angeles without knowing a soul and worked her way up at E! Network after working in mailrooms and serving as a personal assistant.
Finally, she landed a gig as the host of E! She has since scaled back her television work to focus on raising their son, Duke.
