Best Italian Restaurants in Streeterville

First timer. The menu was tantalizing, the service was extraordinary, the food was great - especially the ricotta appetizer, and the red sauce on our pasta and gnocchi was amazing - the Italian bread served us well, ensuring that every drop of that sauce was consumed. The staff are a team, and there are many and they are all working - it was fun to watch. The one "mistake" we made is sitting near the kitchen, because we were forced to see all of the dishes we didn't order come out - I am pretty sure I would find a way to eat here several times per month if I lived nearby.

Really enjoyed dinning here. We took the kids to the Aquarium and didn’t have plans ahead of time on where to dine. We were able to get in quite easily - and honestly I am kinda shocked, but I really loved my dinner. Had the artichoke app and Stracci for the main course. Loved both. Everyone was really happy. Super chill place that has a really cool vibe. Definitely on the slow side - so if you are looking for a quick bite before plans, this is not your place. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Wonderful cozy space and delicious food and cocktails.

Attentive waiter, festive atmosphere. We felt like we were in Europe! Good food, very special

We frequently dine here. If we go to the cathedral one block away then we always make an appearance at Rosebud on Rush. My wife is a wine lover and she always is pleased by the choices our servers recommend. So many Italian restaurants have limited their veal fishes but not here. My wife’s veal was superb. Tried the Tagliatelle Bolonese for the first time. Great. Dessert was tiramisu and cannoli. Our Chinese guest never had cannoli and she was happy with her choice.
