The Rosebud Restaurant in Chicago boasts thirty years of fine service, with a cozy, at home feel full of faux-wood paneled walls.  The most notable decor is an oversize portrait of Frank Sinatra, wine glass in hand.

The food is in fine, Italian style, with a traditional garlicky taste.  Standard Italian specialty recipes include fettuccine Alfredo, veal Francese, and linguine with clams, while Rosebud signatures range from homemade cavatelli to Sinatra abbondanza, a dish big enough to feed two to four people.  A house favorite at the Rosebud Restaurant in Chicago is the baked lasagna, with homemade noodles and oodles of meat.  The portions are enormous, and most pasta dishes could probably feed a family of four.  For an appetizer, try the assorted antipasti, and for dessert, dig into a liquor-enhanced tiramisu or moist, rich triple chocolate cake with a raspberry flavored twist.

Pricing is moderate at the Rosebud Restaurant, and with specialty options such as private rooms and outdoor dining, you’re sure to love this Italian tradition, the original in the chain of Italian restaurants running through Chicago.  Did I mention it is a hangout for celebrities?  So, while enjoying your meal, you could easily run into your favorite singer or movie star.  Valet parking is available, and group dining accommodations can be made.
