The best way to capture a wild, rampaging meal is to hook it with a gigantic pasta lasso. Test your throwin' arm with today's Groupon. For $30, you get $60 worth of food and drink at Phil Stefani's 437 Rush, located off the Magnificent Mile in River North. Phil Stefani's 437 Rush is open daily, excluding Sundays.
437 Rush, part of the Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants group, brings the traditions of the Italian steakhouse to Chicago, with a menu orchestrated by Italian-born culinary composer Federico Comacchio. The dinner menu offers modern updates on Italian classics, just like a remake of The Bicycle Thief with the bicycle replaced by a Segway. Begin your dining experience with the insalata di mare & farro toscano ($15), an appetizer bringing together fresh steamed seafood with Tuscan spelt, parsley, oil, and bottarga, or opt for a Caesar salad ($8), served in an edible shell of parmigiano cheese for double dining delight. Chart a course for choppy channels with 437 Rush's slate of prime steaks, including a 12-ounce filet mignon ($35), a 14-ounce veal chop ($37), and a 30-ounce prime rib-eye chop ($46), or patch up your high-school feud with King Neptune by ordering the Pacific Chilean sea bass ($29). Parachute instructors preferring pasta can freefall into one of 437 Rush's house specials, including lasagna ($18), spaghetti in a tomato basil sauce ($15), or ossobuco ($39), a braised veal shank with brown porcini mushroom sauce and saffron risotto zests. Though just a side, the restaurant's baked potato ($5)—also available as a twice-baked potato ($7)—has earned a reputation among diners and theoretical physicists as a delicious potato portal to a wondrous world of sour cream clouds and chive meadows.
Toast the forthcoming summer equinox with a signature cocktail ($11) from Phil Stefani's 437 Rush's roster of refreshing drinks as you and your fellow foodies relax in the restaurant's charming interior of black-and-white tiled floors, Art Deco murals, and bright lighting. Reservations are required, so get your Groupon and schedule your evening of elegant Italian eats at Phil Stefani's 437 Rush.
This Groupon is not valid toward daily drink specials or other discounts.

- If you're up for steak, expect expertly prepared porterhouses, with a well-seasoned crust hiding tender flesh. But if it's lighter fare you're after, dig into the roasted red king salmon, a dish that perfectly balances the textures and flavors of the firm fish, soft Yukon potato puree and ten-year balsamic. – Time Out Chicago
- Caesar salad takes on a classic look (the romaine is laid lengthwise on an oval platter) and proves delicious. – Gayot
- I'm not sure I've had more perfectly cooked scallops. Seriously. And they were very well seasoned. – Abigail T., Yelp
