About Gioco:
Gioco pioneered the retail development of the South Loop when it opened in
September of 1999. The restaurant has been a mainstay in the neighborhood as
other restaurants and stores have opened up over the years. Gioco is located in
an historic building built in 1890 and is one of the few remaining buildings in
Chicago from that era. The Gioco space features the original old brick and
plaster walls, an old wooden walk-in cooler and a walk-in safe built into the
wall, used by the Chicago gangsters (Al Capone, Frank Nitti, George "Bugs" Moran
and Earl "Hymie" Weiss ) for one of the gambling and/or brothel houses that
dominated the area in the early 1900s. Designer Jerry Kleiner designed Gioco
restaurant to retain these old world elements and to feature them in his
modernization of the space.
Cuisine:
Gioco's menu offers rustic Italian dishes prepared with the finest available
seasonal products. The menu features homemade pastas and wood-fired thin crust
