437 Rush truly echoes the feel of a classic Italian steakhouse. The design's intent, by architect Randy Pruyn, was not to recreate Riccardo's, but to bring back the spirit of when the restaurant was in its prime. The restaurant shines through the use of rich mahogany colored flooring and wainscots, black-and white-tiled floors, stainless steel railings and ribbed glass partitions. The decor package highlights the neighborhood's strong newspaper and advertising ties. The finale is the energetic mural that hangs above the original Riccardo's bar.

The Scene – This place oozes old-school country-club ambience, with white-coated servers and bathroom attendants, black-and-white tile floors and rich mahogany walls with framed photos of past Chicago luminaries. A swanky jazz soundtrack mingles with the soft conversational buzz of a 30-something white-collar crowd. Service is excellent. – – The Food – Juicy steaks, mammoth lobster tails and the like, served a la carte and priced accordingly, plus a smattering of salads and pasta dishes. Impossibly creamy lobster bisque hides tender chunks of lobster meat; whole…

Outstanding Service and Unique Atmosphere Gets Three Thumbs Up
by bestofchicago
Located where the name suggests, 437 Rush (at Hubbard) is Phil Stefani's classic Italian steakhouse featuring everything from an exceptional lobster bisque to succulent prime steak chops. While the food is outstanding here, nothing beat the service of the bartender, Brian, during my visit. Friendly, knowledgeable and overall entertaining, he made my overall experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend spending a happy hour, night out with friends, family dinner, or even a group event at 437 Rush. Ask for Brian and you won't regret it!

One of the best steaks in town!
by james1970
I love this place. Chicago is a steak town, and this restaurant helps to set the standard. I've been to pretty much every steakhouse in Chicago, and the suburbs. Read on to see how it rates in my estimation.
You expect a good steak in Chicago. That's a given. Stefani's delivers. Here is what I like. The rest of the menu provides you a great dining experience. I had a cup of the lobster bisque to start off. Incredibly rich.
Onto the main course. My filet was prepared perfectly. I like it medium rare and it was very tender. A little bernaise sauce on the side and you should be good to go!
My girlfriend and I split a side of the mashed potatoes. Highly recommend them. Have them every time I come regardless of my entree order.
Service is top notch. The bar area when you enter is open and promotes good conversation.
If you haven't been, I highly recommend Phil Stefani's!! I think it's one of the top 3 steakhouses in Chicago.
