Our Reviews

Went there for lunch. Very impressed. Restaurant is beautiful. The food was delicious and the service was perfect.

We've been before but this time after the renovation it was much better. Vibrant and refreshing. Our waitress was on point.

Large party for lunch ,food was good ,great service

One of my favorite Italian restaurantsI am located exactly between 2 locations, Naperville & Lemont. So yeah, I'm willing to drive e 25min to pick up the orders.Fav food is veal/chicken Parm. With baked clams. We wish that clams would be larger than a quarter sized! The sauce, wow! Howeve, all food are abundant and always leftovers for another meal or 2 and even for 3 helpings Enjoy!

We have truly missed this excellent Italian restaurant due to it closing during renovations, but now it's back and still excellent! The great chicken Marsala and the fusilli carbonara were outstanding. Our server Nicola P was excellent! A wonderful dining experience!

Food was fresh, carefully prepared and presentation was perfect.Saul R. 5 gold stars.Almost forgot, desserts... were magnificent!

Great service !!

We order carry out… So happy the restaurant participates with InKind lots of gluten free options- up charge is the norm most restaurants… the portions for chicken Parmesan are huge enough for 2-3 meals.. I’m a lifelong resident I know short cuts etc to bypass limited parking at River Square.

Mr. Lorenzo our server and waitstaff Mr. Galel gave great srrvice. The food was delicious! Mr. Christian the manager was very kind in making sure our evening was enjoyable.

Excellent, really Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

I sat at the bar with Joe, he was absolutely wonderful, so charismatic, and took amazing care of me. Was so quick to get me a drink and made it absolutely amazing. He was able to accommodate me with making my espresso martini with Baileys. Highly recommend sitting with Joe. Whether it’s in the bar or in the dining room!

Although we arrived @ nearly closing time last night, we were graciously greeted by Nicola, Nick, who provided Kim, Dean, Barbara & me good dining experience. Having wait staff like Nicola will keep us coming back...Thanks again Nick!

Simply excellent. I cannot emphaize enough how good this place is.The food we got was excellent, all of the staff were so friendly and it is just enjoyable.Is it expensive? Yes. But it is more than worth the price.

Food is delicious. Service was great. Portions are good.

Great

Wonderful Salmon & great service. Highly recommended eatery. Also, the cheesecake was very tasty.

Saul was an amazing host.We've been before but we brought out party of 5 with a reservation and got sat immediately, were attended to constantly, and had a phenomenal experience.We will be back, again, for sure.Highly recommend this gem for an authentic Italian experience in a beautiful setting with top notch service.

Deedee was fantastic and the food was as well I definitely recommend the veal parmigiana absolutely delicious

For a Chicago Restaurant Group, the newly remodeled Rosebud Naperville has all the qualities of the original Rosebud on Taylor Street in Chicago! Thanks to management, service and classic recipes and cooks, it is a must!

Absolutely outstanding service!Our hostess Kylie was incredible from the moment we walked in. She greeted us with a genuine smile, made us feel welcomed instantly, and went above and beyond to make sure our visit was perfect. Friendly, attentive, and effortlessly professional — you can tell she truly cares about making every guest feel special.

We’ve been waiting for the reopening of the Rosebud in Naperville & finally made it last night. It was a celebration for our granddaughter’s Fall piano recital as well as her early bday celebration too. Our server , Saul was excellent . He was very attentive & made sure we had everything we needed . Of course the food was phenomenal & didn’t disappoint at all. We can’t wait to go back .

Update 11/14/25Well they finally opened Rosebuds back up.looks great inside, they did a nice job, much better than before , bar still small but so much better than prior. Food was excellent, photos say it all. Ceasar salad , veal Vessuvio and spaghetti and meatballs, just outstanding!Lucas was outstanding but really sad to see no bar seating. Veal parm and whitefish was Outstanding

Love the make-over! Menu hasn’t changed much but somehow much easier to read. Food was outstanding & service was perfect. Heading back there tonight, as a matter of fact. Looking forward to it’

We went for a Sunday lunch with kids. Great place. The garlic knot is soooo good. My personal favorite is the sunday gravy with beef and tomatoes. Kids love their spaghetti and meatballs. And be prepared! Their portion is huge. We had to carry a lot leftover home.

Our server was excellent. Our meals were incredible. The ambiance was so elegant and everything was beautiful inside . It had been over 20 years since we last dined at Rosebud. Definitely exceeded our expectations. The server even brought us Cannoli’s on the house. It was a nice date night and will definitely return. Valet parking was also speedy! Top notch

Sit at the bar and hope Joe is working! Makes some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Can’t go wrong with anything food wise on the menu. Great portions and worth the price. 5/5!

I took my wife out for her birthday at the Naperville location. We were immediately greeted and seated by a very friendly hostess. Our waitress Tina, who was also the bartender was phenomenal very attentive and caring. Scott, the manager was very friendly and professional as we watched him help out from the time we got there till the time we left.(Great team work) You do not see customer service like that anymore. we will definitely be back soon. Also the restaurant is beautiful after waiting fourteen months. Glad to see you back!

The re-opening of Rosebud was very good. Their favorites are still on the menu, and there are some inspiring new dishes as well.The new layout of the restaurant dining and bar area is very inviting and feels more open than it used to, and the new fireplace gives it an upscale but very homey feel. The bar can now accommodate more people and it is away from the clammer of the kitchen.

Awesome!!!

Best pizza around! They have my loyalty anytime I'm downtown Naperville!

When is Napervilles's Rosebuds going to open back up?? Does anyone know?

My wife and I had our second baby in March, and we visited Rosebud on a whim with our baby and older daughter as our first dinner out. We were greeted by Dan at the host's stand and he saw that we had a baby and sat us in a secluded section of the restaurant so as not to bother anyone. Our waitress, Deedee, was attentive and brought our food and drinks out quickly and was very helpful the entire night. We'll definitely be back!

I was in absolute Italian heaven here! The food, was delicious, the drinks were potent and tasty, and the service was top notch! I would eat here again!

Rosebud in Naperville is the perfect place for a night out! Love the lively atmosphere of the restaurant!

It's not your cheap night out, but it's worth the price

Elegant place,Excellent pizza, Excellent service

Great food

Great dining experience!

Great meal and service. Nick really skilled server and good sense of humor.

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.

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.

Rosebud is amazing with great food and even greater staff… had two dinners there.. best manhattans too.. definitely coming back

Everyone treats you like royalty

Great appetizer & platter

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.

Excellent food

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.

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.

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.

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 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 👏

Loved it. The food was great, the service top notch and the atmosphere felt wonderful. I would definitely go again. Can be pricy but well worth it.

Dinner was great

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 place, great food, and the staff is amazing 👏

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.

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.

Our server, Nick, was outstanding! He was friendly, efficient, and attentive. The guys was great.

Went for the first time with my wife. She had the chicken parm which was enormous and I had the penne ala vodka. Both dishes were incredible. Service was also excellent and fast. Great location. Dessert was also wonderful. Highly recommend for a nice night out. The bill for everything was just over $100.

Nikola was our server and he was amazing. Friendly, timely yet not pushing service . Definitely recommend place. Thanks Nikola
