Rosebud Naperville

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 opinionRecommended dishesSpaghetti & Meatballs or Sausage, Vodka Sauce

Overall a disappointing experience. Main meal pizza and pasta dish was okay. Nothing to write home about. The starter was seriously disappointing. Went for the shrimp cocktail. The waiter asked how many shrimp I want. I figured it is a shrimp cocktail so however many it comes with. He said the price is just for one shrimp. So I thought this must be one damn good shrimp. Well, it was a forgettable one. No flavor on it at all. Was raw and no sauce to dip it in. Just a slice of lemon that still had the store sticker on it. Have to say worst shrimp cocktail I have ever had. Gave the review 2 stars because the ambiance was nice and it does have a cool looking bar. I should of just hung out there.

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.

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.

Very disappointed with the quality of food and service. We got a table for 2 outside, the only reason i give it 2 star because all the worked are helpful and smile. They brought the drinks after 15-20 min, we were already half way through our apps. This is a huge red flag for me, and it was 4.30 pm so the restaurant wasn’t busy. The food was average, we love italian food, and nothing we tried was good. Drink were nothing special either. Will definitely not come back again. PS: look how brown is the sauce on the seafood griliata, this tastes nothing like it should be.

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!

3rd Strike Your Out!!! If Your Thinking about Picking up some food to go, or dinning in for a nice meal take a HARD PASS on the Naperville Location!!! This Location is Horrible!!! If you have the time take a drive to their Location on W Taylor St. they still have the Touch!!! Rosebud’s has Always been a Special place for my wife and I as it was one of our first dates some 26 years ago. With Covid I have been ordering my food to go. As a Long Time Customer I’ve grown accustom to a consistent great tasting meal. To put it nicely they have LOST their touch. I always order Veal Parmesan. The last 3 times I ordered my food the tomato sauce tasted like it had a entire stick of butter in it. It also had a Very Strong red win taste. I don’t ever remember red wine being in the tomato sauce. Normally the veal is so tender you could cut it with a butter knife. It was a ruff piece of meet. My entire family was displeased with the 3 other dishes they ordered as well. To Be Honest I’m Sad and Disappointed!!! The only reason I kept going back was thinking It was just an off day. It’s not a Cheap Meal. I went to Rosebud’s not Olive Garden. When the Building Burnt down the New Location didn’t do the Rosebuds name justice. It lost its Romance and nostalgic fine Italian dining. The new location looks like your walking into a Denny’s, but at least at the time the food was good. My Father who raised me was Fresh off the Boat Italian from Messina, Italy So Trust me I know Italian food. I’m still a Rosebud’s Fan just not of the Naperville Location. With the Environment change and Food Tasting Horrible I have to Advice you to Pass, But Not on Rosebuds as a Whole. Take a drive to their Location on W Taylor St I’m sure you will not be Disappointed. #Ricks2Cents

If you want the best service Naperville has to offer come to this Rosebud location and ask for Jimmy or Patrick. They all have exquisite serving etiquette and really care about the customer experience. Will be eating here every time I’m in town.

I know....I know......I'm so 1999 behind with the Rosebud experience since this is my first time there like ever. But there isn't one close enough to my home so I never really thought much about it until I went to Costco and saw that they have gift cards for $80 and you get $100. So I bought some to try out with the hubby on a Friday evening date night. Of course I made reservation. Naperville downtown has always been one of my favorite places. Reminds me of the north side where people are singing and lots of night life. There isn't parking out front so we did public parking a few blocks away but it was a nice evening so I didn't mind the walk. The atmosphere was nice and it was spacious enough for the 6 feet distancing. I ordered the LaMarca prosecco which I probably shouldn't have because LaMarca is LaMarca in a bottle. Nothing special. I should have went with a house martini. I just wasn't thinking. Ughhhhh! The spicy calamari was out of this world!!!! I mean it was huge with the most delicious spicy sauce! I would go back just for the calamari appetite ALONE! We also got the chicken parmesan and I was fairly disappointed. It was so tough. I just didn't love it. I will never order that again. I ordered that because everyone said how great it is. Maybe it was a bad night but mine wasn't that great. It was flat and tough and not tasty at all. I brought it home for my boys. Boys eat everything. We shared this eggplant parmesan caprese salad and that was soooooo delicious! I would also go back for that. Restaurant was beautiful. People were nice. Food was delicious besides the chicken parmesan. We had a great evening and would definitely go back to the Rosebud on Naperville again!

We have tried for 2 years to find a parking place to get in this restaurant. It was well worth the wait. I would highly suggest the stuffed mushrooms. The are amazing. Spaghetti and meat sauce was great Fettuccine Alfredo had more creamy sauce than I have ever had. Cakes are big enough to share with 3-4 people.
