the rosebud

we went there for valentine's day and it was super crowdy and got our table after twenty minutes despite reserving it a day ahead. the service was great and the wait staff was polite and smiling which created a great mood. we ordered simple food - fettuccine alfredo with somechickenand it was delicious and filling with the bread they gave. we decided not to have alcohol and didn't go ahead with their wine which were of wife variety. over all it was a good experience.

i have dined in italian restaurants on the hill, in the homeland and beyond and i am here to tell you there is none other any better than the rosebud. it’s perfection. order the house special stuffed artichoke to kick things off and don’t leave the table naked—say “yes!” when they offer you meatballs.

my husband and i ordered the lasagna,chickenmarsala, andchickencaprese.

there is surely a special place in heaven for the chef(s) of this amazing meal.

the wait staff is wonderful and full spectrum of the perfect experience.

seriously, don’t even think of going anywhere else. i swear it.

p.s. the deserts are to die for!

very good! we had the fried calamari and house salad to begin. i had thechickenmarsala and my wife hadchickenparmigiana the servings were huge we couldn't finish it. the service was very good, the ambiance is excellent. we would come back next time we are in chicago.

...i felt a duty to share my most recent meal at the notoriously famous rosebud in hope that you can get there by the end of crw week. i have countless memories with my family at rosebud , whether it’s a post-shopping dinner at their rush location, dining al fresco and people watching at carmine's , or for a special shower or birthday party at any of their locations.  however, i must say, that the original, rosebud on taylor, is most special to me because i met one of my best friends, lindsey, at that location.  the taylor street location is extremely charming, and located in the heart of little italy.  if you haven’t been, i suggest you go.  they have many amazing italian classic dishes, and i usually wind up ordering the the brickchickenor the papardelle marinara, but the restaurant week menu made me try new menu items that i fell in love with. i highly suggest you get your italian fare on, and head to a rosebud tonight or  tomorro
