Dining room at 437 Rush, Chicago, ILThis Phil Stefani restaurant (think Tuscany) is several degrees removed from Italian. Steaks and seafood are the thrust of the menu, which waffles between Prime rib-eye and Dover sole, veal chops and farm-raised salmon. The atmosphere is pleasing, with mahogany floors, tile, stainless steel and tablecloths. Caesar salad takes on a classic look (the romaine is laid lengthwise on an oval platter) and proves delicious. Try the porterhouse steak or blackened shrimp for great flavor in a bowl (bypass the grilled swordfish and the strip steak). Desserts may present a glum situation---tasteless ricotta cheesecake and an almond-thyme tart that doesn’t fare much better. Service is pleasant and speedy. Stay away from a seat too close to the bar if you want to hear yourself think.
