A word from RoSal's

RoSal's is about wonderful Sicilian food served in abundant portions. About remembering the sounds, aroma & flavors of the "old neighborhood". About a way of life for people who really appreciate their food & have come to expect great varieties of pasta, fish, cheese, meat and breads. The same… variety and quality that make a journey through Italy & through RoSal's Italian Kitchen so rewarding. Please join our family for lunch or dinner, we look forward to meeting you!Continued

"The food was great, hands down. Waitress was a little slow on getting us our check but that was it. I'd rather have it be that way than being rushed out."

"I have been a big fan of Rosal's ever since they opened. They never disappoint me. Service is outstanding, and the food is the best Italian in the city in my opinion. It's like 'coming home' for dinner. Can't recommend it enough."

"A group of 6 of us dined here recently when we in town for a business conference. It was my third time dining there and they never disappoint. We had a couple who had not dined here before and they agreed it was great food and a great experience. This is not chain restaurant Italian. Everything is cooked to order and I finally talked myself into ordering something different this time and it was fantastic. We enjoyed our appetizers and everyone enjoyed their entree choice. Prices are very reasonable by Chicago standards. Some companies are cracking down on heavy expense reports but Rosal's prices will not raise an eyebrow by the bean counters."

"The smaller size room gave the intimate feel of dining in someone's home. We went before a Bull's game and it was an enjoyable dining experience vs some of the crowded more popular restaurants closer to the stadiuim. Will definitely go back!!!"

"Great Italian food with a good location on the near west side of the city. Service was a little inattentive as the waiter had too many tables to handle. Waiter was very good, personable and knowledgeable when he was available. We would definitely go back."

"Food was VERY impressive with fresh ingredients and very rich flavors. Unfortunately our server seemed overwhelmed. Friendly, but not effective. May have just been under-staffed that evening, but it impacted the experience nonetheless. The wine list is very simple table wines which was fine for us because we appreciate the value, but may disappoint some."
