- PPeggyChicago / Illinois •36 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was my first time dining at RPM and it will not be my last!! The food, the service, the ambiance, all 10s!!!! But the food!!! OMG! What I like about this outstanding restaurant is they give you good portions of absolutely delicious food! And an elegant, first class dining ambiance with VIP service. I think my server’s name was Matty. Good date place, great place to dine w friends or a special occasion. Highly recommend! My only big complaint….the bar area was filled with gorgeous women!!! NEED MORE MEN PLEASE!! @RPM how about adding a cigar bar to attract the fellas??More infoRPM Italian - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.6

- BbonnieChicago / Illinois •20 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoEveryone and everything? Fabulous! This was our first time in, and after a challenging year, it was the perfect Christmas Eve dinner! The bar service was lovely and Dimitri was especially attentive. The French Onion Soup was brilliant. and it was a very generous portion. My pasta and my dh's burger were divine. The creme brulee = YES. Honestly, it's SO about the vibe–cathedral ceilings and belle epoque design gave the impression of grandeur we love (NEED) when dining out! Happy New Year to all! 🍾🥂🪩More infoLa Grande Boucherie - ChicagoPrice: Very Expensive• French• River North (Chicago)•4.5
- HHaroldChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoEverything was great. Our waiter was friendly and responsive. We had a table by the window which was great. We had two teenagers with my girlfriend and I, and they devoured their pizzas. I was thrilled to get have my fettuccine tossed tableside in the parmesan cheese wheel. The whole Eatily experience was a perfect way to end our Chicago trip.More infoLa Pizza & La Pasta - Eataly ChicagoPrice: Moderate• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.2
