Gino & Marty’s, located on the West Loop’s Restaurant Row between the Nobu hotel and Bar Siena, has officially shut down as the restaurant prepares to undergo a complete revamp. For the past three years, the Italian spot, helmed by the well-connected chef Gino Bartucci, has served elevated Italian plates for dinner before transforming into a clubby staple of the West Loop’s nightlife scene. It’s also played host to VIPs like rapper Nas, Scottie Pippen and Steph Curry.

There are very few details about what the restaurant’s next iteration will look like, but we do know that it will debut next spring. The new, currently unnamed spot, will feature a completely new interior design, an expanded dining room, an elevated lounge and a refreshed culinary direction, all informed by the OG Gino & Marty’s.

“We’re proud of what Gino & Marty’s has meant to our team, our guests, and the West Loop,” the founding team said in a joint statement. “As we take this next step, our goal is simple: to evolve. To build something lasting, layered and rooted in hospitality. We can’t wait to share it with Chicago.”
