My boyfriend and I came here last night and had the most fabulous experience. The service was impeccable and the food was phenomenal. Every person working was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was also lovely! The renovations are beautiful. We got the bruschetta, nonna’s gravy, spinach, chicken marsala, and banana cream pie. I would order everything again and will soon!

The absolute best of the old school Italian restaurants in Chicago! My family ate here on Christmas Day and I think every single person that worked there stopped to wish us a Merry Christmas, they seemed genuinely happy that we were there.
The servings are indeed huge, be prepared to take home leftovers. But the food is fresh and delicious. We all loved our meals including the HUGE slice of Christmas cake.
A definite must-visit if you want a classic Chicago Italian restaurant experience with the kindest service in town.

Very happy they opened on Taylor Street again. I ordered something special; the Brick Chicken is a great dish. Seasoned, split and de-boned, then cooked flat in the oven. The skin is delicious and the meat is moist and tender. I heard from Pat Brickhouse this was one of Jack’s favorites. I highly recommend it.

I use to come to Chicago on business years ago and always loved to eat at Rosebuds. This time I came as a tourist with my daughter and was so thrilled that my favorite restaurant was still here. My daughter always heard the stories of this fantastic food and she finally got to experience it for herself. Rosebuds did not disappoint! The food amazing, the staff fantastic and special thank you to the management for making our time there so special celebrating my birthday. Can’t wait to come back, this time it won’t be so long between visits.

Highly recommend, great atmosphere, delicious authentic Italian food with fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. You may choose to sit outside in cute area with lighting and umbrellas or sit inside in a dim lit area with table lights and piano. Food is excellent, very flavorful with large portions & fresh ingredients. We made reservations online, and walked right in. We ordered the eggplant stack & Tiramisu. Excellent will be back

My family and I stopped in on their soft opening yesterday, and all I have to say is, wow! The food and service were absolutely amazing. The quality and care for each dish is next level. The staff from our waitress to the manager made us feel like family. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back!

Came here with a friend for dinner and drinks and it was a great experience all around. The bartender was excellent and our drinks were on point. We shared the meatballs (filling and delicious) and the chopped breaded eggplant salad was huge and perfectly done. Cozy, intimate vibe that’s great for date night. Loved the baby grand piano, though there wasn’t live music the Wednesday we visited.

ROSEBUD ON TAYLOR IS BACK!!! So happy to hear it has reopened.
I’ve traveled the world and eaten everywhere, but theres nothing like returning to a legendary Chicago establishment. All of the new school Chicago places need to visit the OG and take notes.
The staff was accommodating for a last minute, late evening reservation. Not only did they stay the course as if we were the first customers of the day, we felt like we were eating in someone’s home. The ambiance and decor nails everything you expect from white tablecloth Italian.
The food? Everything we had was outstanding:
Appetizers: Bruchetta, Minestrone, and Sausage and Peppers (tremendous)
Drinks: Martinis and Shirley Temple’s
Entrees: The chicken cacciatore was phenomenal, the vodka rigatoni was superb, and the arrabiatta cavatelli was bursting with flavor with just the right amount of spicy. All of the pasta was cooked to perfection. The lamb chops could have used a little char, but were massive and melt in your mouth, paired witb a buttery, lemon sauce.
Dessert: The tirimisu was decadent and fresh.
Above all, great Italian food is measured by the SERVICE. Genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive service is what set Rosebud apart from so many great Chicago options. Massive portions, we took a ton home and enjoyed a great evening.
Spread the word, the OG is back. Get there and experience Chicago dining at its finest
