Rosebud Italian Specialties & Pizzeria

Our server Nick was above and beyond not only in service but in personality. He was great. The restaurant was nice and had a wonderful atmosphere. The portions were huge. Everything was very delicious. Our new favorite place for calamari. We had grilled calamari, fried calamari, baked clams, lamb chop lollipops, and the veal parmesan which was huge and platter sized. Thank goodness we decided to split the parmesan. The pasta sauce with the veal parmesan was to die for. I'm not a huge red sauce fan and this tomato sauce is probably the best I've had. Had a very nice time on our anniversary and will be back for sure. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10

Great experience, we went for an anniversary dinner. Overall the service was great with the reservation time being honored, the waiter Julian was excellent! The food is delish and keeping true to the Rosebud name. I would only say that the dress code needs to be enforced, it is clearly listed on the website and it should surely be enforced to keep the value in the location.

First time here, we reserved an early dinner spot and decided to eat at the bar. Uriel was a very good and attentive server. We each ordered a drink before dinner and enjoyed some bread before ordering. My wife ordered the cavatelli and I had the oricheiette with Italian sausage with brocollini. Both dishes were very good! We finished up with an order of tiramisu and salted caramel Gelato, highly recommend both. I had read a bunch of negative reviews prior to heading to dinner but was pleasantly surprised with our experience!

We started with the stuffed mushrooms, and they were fantastic. The sauce is garlicky and good to use as a dipping sauce for bread. I got fettuccine alfredo, and my husband got baked cavatelli. They were both good. We finished with coconut cake, which was a very large piece, easily shareable. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant. Plenty of parking in garage across the street.

Came here for my moms birthday , everything went well. Service was fantastic and the food was delicious . I had rigatoni a la vodka with grilled chicken , which was very flavorful and tasty. It is expensive, but well worth it in my opinion

Wow!! Amazing overall! First time here came for a dinner date and had the time of our life. Manager Alexis is such a delight made sure our night went well. Julian our server was amazing as well excellent service. Food was so phenomenal definitely coming back.

This is a local family go to for us. It is in walking distance. The food is good. The meal sizes are great. They make a good drink. Parking is sometimes an issue. A few drive. It can be a little loud as well, but we keep going back, because the good outweighs the bad.

This is exactly what I want when I go out for Italian food.
I hate the congestion of downtown Naperville but it's worth threading my truck through the swarm of Prius just to get here. Either way, the food......
The entrées here are hearty, high quality, made with fresh ingredients, and done correctly. The veal parmigiano was enormous, the cheese was very good - not some slice of prepackaged junk. The tomato sauce was outstanding. The Alfredo sauce was creamy but not too heavy and the pasta had a perfect texture.
All of the desserts we tried were fantastic.
I like places like this because they don't have to play up their ethnicity to appear authentic. It's honest good food the way it was intended.

The place was packed when we got there but service was pretty good. Our glasses were never empty and the waiter was attentive. No complaints there at all.

In all, it's not much more expensive than the Olive Garden (which is the worst thing to ever victimize Italian food) the portions are good, the ingredients are fresh, and the ambiance is very nice - even if dining outside in Naperville is like living in a Gap advertisement from 1999.

Judging by the threats of prison shanking from Wifey-poo if I ate her leftovers it's safe to say that she liked it too.

We arrived 45 minutes before closing, they still extended the red carpet, the waiter Julio was exceptionally professional. The food was excellent and the cocktails were superb. We had a great time. We will be back real soon.

We had a perfect Rosebuds experience. Perfect service, perfect food, this is the Rosebuds I fell in love with the first time I went 25 years ago (actually this experience was better). We had mixed seafood to start (Grigliato Misto) and a special of the day Cod (which was lightly fried with white sauce, capers, greens, and some veggies). My daughter had the Ravioli and didnt want the red sauce, our waiter said he wished we'd let him know and it would have been prepared exactly as she likes (which is buttery over red sauce). We finished with a mascarpone cheesecake. I cant wait to go back.

We recently took our family of 8 to rosebud. We have 2 young kids and it was a fantastic dinner. The service and food were perfect for our crew.

1st time visiting since the early 90s. Different location. Nonetheless, place was lively for a Monday evening in Naperville. Mid-pandemic did not change my rating. Service was excellent; Great food choices; Pricey but LARGE food portions. Had a great time with family. Would return.

Phenomenal! I’m in town visiting and I can see why my friends brought me here straight from the airport! The service was amazing (thank you, Margie!) and everything was so delicious. My dinner portion was so substantial it was plenty for lunch the next day. Highly recommend!

I’m not the biggest fan of Italian food and my girlfriend really wanted me to try this place. Food is absolutely delicious and the service is even better. Heidi is wonderful, you’re a lucky customer if you get put in her section.

We had a fantastic time! Heide was a lovely server! The manager was so sweet and very understanding. The food and drinks were extremely good!! I am reccomending this place to family and friends.

Great service at the bar. Heidi was fantastic. Food came out to soon. Not enough time to enjoy the huge house salad. (I know woe is me). But Heidi worked her magic and kept my veal Italiano warm. Bravo 👏

The food was very delicious and the waitress was super nice and attentive, this place is very cool to go with your friends or family.

Great dining experience!

I got the spagetti and meatball pasta. My time here was very much appreciated and everything was served in a timely manner. Thank you!! They serve bread with along with dinner and butter is not served, must ask if needed. Overall, I'd come here again. The atmosphere at this place is very classy.

My wife and I have always had good meals here. If you like Italian this is a perfect place with great window views of Washington and Chicago ave. I had the muscle linguine and my wife had the bass, both well made. Waitstaff are perfect.
