The Rosebud

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant when I went to Chicago this past weekend. Ashley C was my server and she was absolutely amazing. Service was on point and food was delicious. Other staff even came over to make sure I was having a great experience, I would visit this location again. I want to thank the staff for a great experience especially Ashley.

Wonderful experience here. I was surprised to see how empty it was. The service was great and the food was delicious! Very hefty portions. I love the old school Italian, dimly lit, white tablecloth vibe. We brought a toddler and they were very accommodating. It seems like this would be a great place for date night! We also saw someone celebrating a birthday. Apparently this is the OG Rosebud! Lots of history here. I had the chopped salad which was so refreshing and filling! Packed with veggies and stacked high! No way is this for one person. I took more than half of it home! The best thing I tasted was the bolognese. Holy cow (and veal). Loved the fresh ricotta on top adding a nice creamy texture. We also took home what we couldn't eat and I ended up eating it a couple hours later because it was that good. I think the Rosebud is worth a visit if you are in town! Great atmosphere and old school Italian cuisine. I'll be back for that bolognese!

Rosebuds has been a staple in my family forever ! Never disappointed!!! So glad they brought back my favorite stuffed artichoke ! It's one of the best I have ever had! My pasta was great !!! Service is wonderful as always ! Make a reservation and try the brick chicken! Also our fav !!! Restaurant vibe is old school Chicago and the ambiance is just that ! Love, love this place !!!

Classic Italian that did not disappoint. 4.5 stars Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4Cost to worth it rating: 3Opentableable: yesReturn worthiness: yesHighlights:- Location: there are many locations in town but glad went to the original in Italian area away from tourist crowds- Seabass piccata special: best thing I ate all weekend (and I had all stellar meals): huge piece of fish that was so tender with a sauce that was a perfect capery lemony goodness the spinach below also soaked in. 5 stars- Orecchiette broccolini sausage: I wasn't so excited that this was the dish of all the pastas the hub wanted to order because it seemed so plain, but it was simple and full of flavor and so great. 5 stars- Brick chicken: also simple but packed a lot of flavor being crispy outside and juicy inside. 4.5 stars- Waiter: was also our bartender, was personable, and had great suggestions- Atmosphere: simple, dark, and classic restaurant atmosphereLowlights- Wine and cocktails were just ok: both were fine with us, but stretching to think of something that wasn't a knockout highlight...Loved our dining experience here and was just what we wanted from our authentic Italian Chicago dinner.

So glad we were able to dine in before this location closes! The spaghetti and meals were great. The meatballs tasted like a mix of beef and veal, and the red sauce was good with fresh basil. The veal piccata was the real star of the show, and was deliciously crispy and cheesy. Tiramisu was very moist and a great size for sharing at the end of a veryyy filling meal.

A nice but largely unremarkable Italian-American restaurant. The warm bread at the beginning was yummy and the drinks were well-prepared. For food, we had the seafood salad, which was alright but unfortunately the seafood was not the freshest that Chicago has to offer. Also, the scungilli (snail) could have been shaved more thinly, so as to catch the very flavorful lemon vinaigrette. We also had a side of momma's meatballs, which were lovely and perfectly cooked! The restaurant itself is somewhat dark, but otherwise I appreciated all the wood and brown tones. The vibe from the waitstaff felt strange - everyone appeared to be running around and on edge. The food, service, and ambiance are not worth the price.

1st time come with friend. It's delicious and authentic. Great place and I saw the Frank table. Amazing. Big portions.

Food and drinks were great. It's a little tight in space but the quality is definitely there. The short rib bolognese is amazing! I enjoyed the Brussels as well.

Went to the Italian/ taylor street fest. We sat down . Looking at the menu saw it was a little bit pricey. Service was spotty. We ordered the chopped salad for $22. We asked how much more would it be if we added chicken. Our waiter advised it would be $7 more. We asked for chicken on the salad. The salad was ok felt it was overpriced for what you got. We later got the bill and the salad was $32. Wait what. We discuss it with waiter and he said it was $10 extra for the chicken. He didn't realize. He did not remove the extra charge. What a complete ripoff. $36 for a salad that cost them $3 . What a complete ripoff. Would not recommend it. I use to be such a fan

They are not open for service. So much should let people know that they're closed. We drove all the way to Chicago two hours away to go there for dinner. Yelp says they're open. They're not open again. They're closed. Be nice to have a notice. Thank you.
