About this business
Rosebud is a well-known chic establishment; dishing up impressive service and food for over 20 years. A classic brownstone decorated with lavish wall coverings and waiters clad in black tuxedos add an upscale undertone to this eatery. The clientele is sophisticated, and the menu offers hearty fare with plenty of variety. Seafood and veal highlight the menu. Dinner is more intimate and relaxed then the bustling lunch hour. Dress is a bit sophisticated at dinner.

Excellent Gluten Free Pasta – You no longer have to sacrifice great taste and texture to get a delicious gluten free pasta meal at Rosebud. The glueten free pasta is made with all organic ingredients. We enjoyed the Gluten Free Pasta Primavera in Garlic Olive Oil. Which is the perfect mixture of yellow squash, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots and sweet peas in a an amazing garlic olive oil sauce. The Rosebud Restaurants have decided to be pro-active and offer multiple gluten-free dining options. Remember to ask you... read more
Some of the worst Italian I've ever had. – I am quite sure that at one point this was a great restaurant. I've talked to a few native Chicagoans and they said when they were kids this place was considered a hot location. For whatever reasons (maybe a lot of midwestern tourists keep them afloat) this place is AWFUL. Cold diced tomatoes served on wet TOAST is not an appetizer. The calamari was drenched in butter and fibrous, tendony and mediocre. The main course, the pounded veal, was unremarkable, but at least edible. It appe... read more
Horrible And Unacceptable! – First of all my wife wanted to celebrate her 50th Birthday at Rosebuds on Taylor. I thought great we have been going there periodically over thirty years. So i called and made reservations two days ahead of time. I asked for window seats and the person i spoke to said this would be no problem if i were to come in a little later around 9 p.m. I agreed and left all the infomation they required over the phone. When my two sons my wife and myself arrived I was told by Nick some twenty something ,that... read more
Best Italian in Chicago (so far) – I have tried quite a few Italian restaurants in Chicago (Dinotto, Trattoria Roma, Club Lago, Bice, Quartino's). I found out about this place after reading revieiws for Spiaggia and Coco Pazzo. The cheaper cafes of these two (Spiaggia Cafe and Coco Pazzo Cafe) offer prices comparative to Rosebut and are highly recommended, however, I have not yet been to either. The Rosebud offers family style portions, so for two people, one dish and one or two appetizers is more than enough. Many reviews c... read more
Wonderful food, excellent service – My wife had the Ciapono and I had the Eggplant Parmigiano. Both were enormous portions, the eggplant thinly sliced and baked (not pan fried), delicate and delicious. The presentation on the Ciapono was appealing, and the calamari in the Ciapono was the tenderest I have eaten in a long time. We had the Ensalada Caprese, thick slices of tomato and delightfully fresh mozarella, topped with a thin slice of sweet onion and roasted red sweet peppers, and of course the fresh basil and tasty aged ... read more
Horrible service, Outstanding food – I'll keep this short and simple. My brick chicken was amazing. His pasta side and chicken Marsala was great. Our beverages were outstanding. OUR WAITER WAS THE WORST EXAMPLE OF SERVICE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MAN. I WANTED TO POKE HIS EYES OUT WITH MY FORK. HE RUINED OUR SPECIAL OCCASION WITH HIS FUMBLING INEPTITUDE AND COMPLETE LACK OF INTEREST IN OUR TABLE. WE WILL NOT RETURN!
Classic Italian – I wanted to try the original location, never had any of the other Rosebuds. Made reservations a week ahead of time, had a window-side table. Great antipasto plate, classic caprese salad. All the pasta plates are classic, well made, perfectly seasoned. On the table were veal marsala, shrimp broccoli shells, and rigatoni with vodka sauce, everything was great! Generous portions, good times. Classic cannolli and creme brulee for dessert. Can not express how simple yet wonderful everything was. Highly recommend... read more
Great – Food is awesome. Service is good too. Try the mushrooms for an appitizer. They are almost as thick as steak. If you go on a day you can sit outside, you will really enjoy it very much.
Must Try – Went with a party of six. Were were seated right away and had an awesome waiter who patiently explained everything. Everyone loved their meal. The sea bass special was very, very good, but very pricey at $36 (the waiter did not say) Another special was also $36. Regular menu prices are much lower. Expensive drink prices. Stick with the better priced pastas and have a great meal. Old Blue eyes is there overlooking you.
