Erie Cafe

Super GemRiver North · Italian Steakhouse Community-sourced, unverified
📍 536 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654

The Lenzi family, with nearly a century of River North hospitality experience across three generations, opened Erie Cafe in 1994 in a historic building with arched stone windows along the Chicago River — hand-butchered, prime-aged steaks and homemade ravioli in a 1940s club-like room with a wood-burning fireplace and river-view outdoor seating from May through November.

The grilled calamari is the starter people order twice, and the carrot cake at the end is the dessert nobody plans on but everybody finishes.
