    Warm bread
    Marianne D.

    I've been to this restaurant several times, the last being three years ago. Friends chose this place for Christmas Eve so we tried it again. Che Figata is attached to a hotel. It has a large bar area, a curved counter by the chef area and a dining room. We were lucky enough to sit in a curved booth in the dining room. We were greeted right away with water and we're told our server would be with us shortly. However, our server Fernando was gone more than he provided service. The general manager Cherish, though, was fabulous. She came to our table and opened our bottles of wine to breathe as we brought our own. Note, the corkage fee is $25 per bottle. Cherish also gave us attention throughout our meal. I had to ask Fernando for water after he took our bottle to refill and never returned. The staff was so disorganized and upon talking to Cherish learned they were short staffed. The bright spot of our evening, outside of Cherish taking care of us, was some of the delicious food. We started out sharing the burrata & prosciutto pizza and the fritto misto. The pizza was Napoleon style with a thin charred crust and was very good. However, the fritto misto only had one piece of octopus on the plate (darn!), was pretty bland and the garlic aioli was way too thick. For dinner, my husband had the rigatoni zozzana with house sausage, guanciale, tomato, egg yolk, pecorino and parmesan. He loved it. I had the bucatini carbonara. The best carbonara I ever had! It had guanciale, preserved lemon, cheese and an egg yolk on top. Compared to what our friends ordered, our entrees were on the small side. Not consistent in portion size, but damn good. All in all, the food was better than last time, but the disorganized lack of service was pretty bad and took away from our dining experience. Having said that, Cherish's attention was appreciated and she was lively and engaging. I'll go back for that amazing bucatini carbonara.

    Wow! Just blown away by the top notch service! My boyfriend and I don't really go out to fancy places like this one, it was more of a special occasion. From beginning to end the service was exceptional, we felt well taken care of and special even though we weren't the only ones there. I forgot if it was the manager or head chef but someone came out to greet us toward the end of our meals and introduced himself and just wished us to have a great time. He connected so well with us I would come back for the attentiveness of the staff alone! Aside from service, the food was great! I had what the waiter had recommended, it was one of their more popular dishes. All the right flavors were there in the meat sauce! The restaurant was well decorated! we had the option of sitting at a booth or table, we got a comfy booth. The lighting was warm, soft and romantic. The music was there but not loud and obnoxious, it fit the mood of the restaurant. It was great! Bathrooms were very clean too! Thank you for helping us have a lovely, quiet evening! :)

    We enjoyed some fantastic dishes at Che Figata, which is one of the restaurants Paul used to work at a while back. It's located in Hotel Arista and the space is stunning! The staff made us feel like VIPs from the moment we entered and every bite outdid the next. I think our favorites were the Arrancini & the Rigatoni, but honestly everything was outstanding. Such talented staff, both in the kitchen and FOH

    We had an absolutely wonderful time at Che Figata! From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive, warm, and welcoming. Every staff member we interacted with made us feel like valued guests!

    It was ok. Its a typical "Italian" restaurant attached to a swanky hotel lobby. Staff were all very nice and the place was pretty and clean. Food was ok- small portions for the price and kind of salty. I didn't hate it but probably wouldn't come back.

    Unfortunately restaurant was undergoing renovations and they directed me to the restaurant next door at the hotel (Hotel Arista) but they said the menu was exactly the same. Service was excellent from host to server. Portions are all big sizes (and entree prices) so I wasn't able to order much variety. Burrata and caponata - the cheese was so fresh. Loved it with the bread. It could have used a bit more seasoning in the caponata Che Meatballs - meatballs were tender and flavorful but would have preferred them more hot instead of lukewarm. Affogato - didn't enjoy as much as I wanted. I think the coffee wasn't as strong as I was expecting.

    A European flair strikes you the minute you walk in the restaurant and smell the fresh, homemade pasta and wood fired pizza being expertly crafted in an open air kitchen. Our party of 6 shared 2 orders of oven baked fontina cheese with the sweetest cherry tomatoes casually drifting across the top. They served the baked cheese with plenty of grilled bread so you had the perfect amount of both as a great starter. The salads are fresh and big enough for two, and my main course, the buffalo margherita pizza was the best margarita pizza I ever tasted. Although it was a thin crust, there was no lack of flavor with a delicious crunchy crust that was the perfect level of gooeyness in the middle. My only complaint is the service confusion. Our server put the appetizers in wrong and we had to re- order the 2nd cheese plate..There were also some check and drink confusions.

    I went to this restaurant for a special event. The catering service was excellent. We were able to view the chefs cook all of the food fresh. A five course meal with desserts was served and every bit of it was delicious. The steak was the best. The steak was tender and tasty. The desserts were extraordinary and would tempt a dieter to abandon their diet. The pesto pizza was amazing. The restaurant was spacious with wonderful decor.

    How is the noise level when restaurant is full at dinner?

    I was there prime time on a Saturday night. It is moderately noisy. I could still speak in normal tone & be heard with my group of 5 at the table. But it's not romantically quiet.

    Is there anything on the menu without dairy?

    I believe they have a number of gluten free, dairy fee options. They post a seasonal menu online you may want to check to ensure they have options you like.

    Is this restaurant good for kids?

    Yes, we brought our young kids early in the evening and the restaurant was very accomodating. The kids loved the pizza and gelato!

    In the ongoing saga of trying to find a restaurant that works for all three of us: my vegan wife,…read moreme (a very NOT vegan) and our picky 8-year old, tonight's episode took place at Fiammé in downtown Naperville. Its very hard to find spots that can accommodate our very particular palates, and even more hard to find good vegan options outside of the city. Thats why I was excited to find this lovely Italian restaurant. The parking lot is small but there's a good amount of sidestreet parking. The inside is warm, cozy and super clean (including the restrooms ). The hospitality stood out right away. The owners and wait staff were very welcoming, and our server was fantastic; honest (which I appreciate), knew the menu well, and once she realized our situation, gave us some wonderful direction on what to order. I wouldn't say that the menu is overwhelming, but I rarely go to a restaurant where it takes me that long to decide what I want. There are lots of interesting options, from braised short rib ravioli to baked ziti, and several tasty appetizers (highly recommend the calamari). But we had come for the PIZZA. My daughter got the kids cheese pizza. It was surprisingly bigger than we thought, and at a great price. The kid only ate half before she said, "I like it...this might be better than [insert famous Chicago pizza brand]." (you MUST KNOW that this is high praise from a 3rd grader). My wife ordered the "They Don't Have Beef With Me" vegan Detroit-style pizza, and I have to admit, it was very good. Somehow they pulled off a buttery (but not butter) crust with melty vegan cheese (but NOT cheese ). Absolutely nailed it. I would have eaten more of hers if I hadn't ordered the Butcher pizza from the wood-fired menu. It was OUTSTANDING. Great flavor, perfect texture. Easily one of thee best wood-fired pizzas I've ever had. We're not drinkers, but they do have a good wine list and some nice zero-proof options, including the Amber Apple and The Drip. We didn't make it to dessert, mostly because the portions are generous, so our bellies (and our to-go boxes) were full. We will definitely be back to try other menu options and for dessert. If your family or friend group includes picky palates or dietary restrictions (the pizzas can be made gluten-free as well), then run...don't walk...to Fiammé. 100/10 recommend.

    Very cute on the inside with the string lights and cozy feel and I'm sure would be wonderful…read moresitting outside when it's nice out. Make sure to make a reservation because they do get busy, and not be in a hurry because it is smaller inside so you may have to wait after your reservation time to be seated depending on table availability. The food was delicious - we started with the mozzarella sticks - SO GOOD. I ordered the vegetable wood fired pizza and it was good, my husband ordered the Detroit Style double pepperoni and it was also very yummy. The portion sizes are generous so we both ended up taking half of ours home. We are definitely coming back again, I want to try the Fiamme Special firewood pizza!

    I came to Rosebud for my friend's brother's birthday dinner. They got a dinner reservation in…read moreadvance for her family and I (we had a group of 6). Located in Naperville, Rosebud has several locations in the Chicago area and are owned under the Rosebud restaurant group. This particular location is in downtown Naperville and serves high-quality, authentic Italian cuisine. The inside has a modern aesthetic with an upscale, romantic atmosphere. I will say this restaurant seems more appropriate for special occasions and formal dinners. The dress code should is smart-casual or business-casual, this is not a casual restaurant. Service seemed a little off and the kitchen was definitely behind. We arrived 10 minutes after our reservation and our table still wasn't ready. We were seated as soon as it was ready, but you could tell they were swamped. The bread took about 15 minutes to come out and it wasn't super warm or fresh. Our server gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, a little too much. But he seemed very busy keeping up with the other tables, so it was more understandable. We put out appetizers and entrees in together to try and speed things up. The kitchen was extremely backed up. It took nearly 20-25 minutes to receive our appetizers. And at least another 30 for our entrees. While this was frustrating, it happens. They also forgot to add shrimp to one of the entrees, although they did take it off the bill.The other aspects of the service were wonderful though. Our waters were filled very frequently by various staff. We had the manager check-in on us a couple times as well. It was clear they were trying to do their best that night. Our server was very personable and friendly too. For the food, we started with some bread and olive oil. They do replenish the bread too. The second basket we received was much fresher than the first. For appetizers, we ordered the grilled calamari and garlic knots. The grilled calamari came with sautéed peppers and had some sort of balsamic olive oil dressing. The dressing was quite strong and the calamari had a strong charred taste. This wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. The garlic knots were phenomenal! With just the right amount of oil, garlic, and parmesan, they were soft and just delectable. For my entree, I ordered the Gnocchi Bolognese. This was a generous portion and had lovely presentation. The bolognese sauce was decent with a good amount of veal and beef. I wish it had more of a robust flavor though. The dollop of creme fresh on top made the dish really creamy! The gnocchi was decently tender, not too soft or overcooked. Wasn't "wowed" by this dish, but was satisfied. Overall, my experience at Rosebud could have been a little better. Communication seemed to be off that night. Kitchen was extremely backed up and a lot of errors were made. Luckily some items were taken off the final bill, which was nice. The food was good, not great. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but again, was expecting more out of the overall service.

    The service by Alexa was perfect on a gloomy Monday night! We had not been since the remodel - and…read morewhile they don't have any more room - the noise is not a problem anymore The food was delicious!

Glad we rediscovered Rosebud!
