Wagyu from $30 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A River North Italian restaurant that names its beef supplier on two dishes: a tableside beef tartare made with Chatel Farm Wagyu, quail egg and black truffle at 30, and a 12 ounce gorgonzola-cured Wagyu credited to Chatel Farms of Reidsville, Georgia. Chatel raises both Angus and Akaushi, and the menu does not say which the beef is or what generation of cross it came from.

Common questions
- Does RPM Italian serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 19, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does RPM Italian serve?
- Its menu discloses Chatel Farms, Reidsville, Georgia. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is RPM Italian listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
