Reviews for The Rosebud in Chicago, IL
This was a fantastic classic Italian dinner. Sat at a bar stool late last week and the bartender was pleasant, the music was... killer, and the chicken Parmesan was fantastic. Just what I needed. Next time I’m in Chicago I’ll have to try more of theirmenu items. Read more
I randomly stopped in and had a great experience. I sat at the bar, conversated with the bar tender and people around me.... Friendly atmosphere, upscale, great food and drinks. This restaurant can be a great place for a celebration, to meet friends,host a business meeting, or to accommodate someone who just dropped in like I did. No complaints, great experience. Read more
Ordered carry out this evening. Very warm welcome at pickup and order was done on time. Chicken Parm was fabulous as usual and... the accompanying pasta was perfect. Unfortunately, our fried calamari fell short today. Half the order was large rubbery legpieces and hard to eat. Less important but the bread was stale. Maybe the addition of a little oil and Parmesan cheese wouldhave helped. Read more
Excellent! The atmosphere takes me back in time. Relaxing nostalgic music. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. I will... come visit whenever in town for the delicious eggplant stack! Delizioso! Read more
Yummy! Everything was delicious! Love the vintage sign when we ate outside. Started with stuffed mushrooms and the brocolini.... The sauce for the mushrooms was really tasty, and the brocolini was good too. The baked Ziti was very cheesy and the penne inthe signature tomato sauce. We also got eggplant parmesan, which the pasta came as a separate side. We also got white fish withseasoned potatoes. The sauce was good for the fish as well. We would have given it five stars but everything was a bit expensiveso we gave it a four. Read more
What a great place to have a nice dinner! Veal Parm is awesome. Note that massive piece of cake and great cappuccino. The... staff is wonderful and the place is decorated with an old world charm! Go here. Read more
I'll cut to the chase: The Trio from the specials menu is without a doubt among the best tenderloin cuts my wife and I have ever... had, easily leagues above 'top 2% nationwide cuts' we've had elsewhere. It actually never crossed my mind before to not gethousemade pasta at a high end Italian restaurant, but for some reason my wife and I decided to go for that dish. Simplyexquisite: It was so smooth as our knives cut into it, extremely lean, yet melts in your mouth like butter. It sits on a bed ofrisotto and mushroom which compliment the cuts perfectly and taste just as indulging. The Fish salad tasted extremely fresh, andwe particularly loved the pickled pepper slices in it. It wasn't all good though: The Nonna Chocolate cake was a massivedisappointment, in addition to also being just massive. It tasted like a generic chocolate cake you got from any givendepartment store bakery section 10 years ago. But I won't let it affect my review because we didn't go there for dessert.Overall, we definitely have a favorite place for occasions and are happy we stumbled into The Rosebud when we were actuallyplanning to go elsewhere that night. Edit: I left my bag at the store. Apparently they tried chasing me down but I had left. 4days later, I showed up again and they had my bag. The review was already 5* so there's nothing else I can do than thank themagain. Read more
