    We had an outstanding meal at Rose Mary—easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Chicago in quite some time. We went on a Tuesday evening (weekend reservations are tough to snag, so definitely plan ahead), and every bite was worth it. The Gemelli, Mafaldine, and Pork Ribs Pampanella were absolute standouts—bold, flavorful, and beautifully executed. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered spot-on recommendations that made the evening even better. Parking can be a bit tricky, even on a weekday, but once you’re inside, the experience more than makes up for it.

    Great selection of different small plates. Great for sharing, but the tables are not really conducive to this. Rather small for family style. The pork belly with the Brussels sprouts was great, but the sprouts seemed a bit greasy, like they were deep fried.. Our server Antonio was outstanding and made our little reunion gashing a very fun time. Nice place, nice choice of cocktails beers and specialty drinks. Very accommodating.
