Rosebud of Deerfield - a really good restaurant for Italian. I used to live in the city and would past by Rosebud down in river north all the time. It was always packed with people and I was happy to see that Rosebud was in the burbs now as well. The space is wonderful - I like all the natural light and the string lights in the center of the restaurant as it was kind of a cloudy rainy day outside. Went here for a weekday lunch with some of my mates and I was really glad to have tried the Orecchiette pasta. I am always a fan of this pasta type because of the unique shape -its shaped like a ear (for full a full sensory experience). When the wait staff brought out the dishes all together - the server whispered "this is my favorite". Apparently I have chosen wisely. And boy did I! The Orecchiette (perfectly cooked al dente) super simple on the ingredients just a flavor bomb. Loved it Loved it. Absolutely awesome dish. My mates got a vodka pasta (said it was really good) and another got the Med salad w/ chicken. My impression is that the pasta is absolutely wonderful and done correctly. Top notch.
Let's be completely honest. It's a little unfair to review an Italian restaurant after having visited Italy in the fall. Nothing will compare. EVER. Huge portions and lots of energy on a Saturday night, exactly what you want. We were seated at the table closest to the door so we could probably hear better than those further inside the restaurant so if you are looking for a quiet, intimate place, this is not that place on a Saturday night. Our cocktails were good - a Manhattan and a Paper Plane. We ordered the steamed mussels - HUGE! This could easily have been my entree. The mussels were large and perfectly steamed. I ordered the ribbons with bolognese. It was another HUGE portion, but this is where a trip to Italy will ruin you. The pasta was inconsistent. There were several noodles stuck to each other with ends cooked al dente and then the centers not so much. The sauce was more salt than flavorful, not so salty that it was worth returning to the kitchen but definitely salty. My husband ordered a special - a seafood topped risotto. The risotto was OK but also another HUGE portion. If you're looking for generous portions, this is the place for you.
Came here for lunch and ended up ordering the salmon citrus salad. The portion for lunch was huge! It was pretty flavorful, i also especially enjoyed the walnuts or maybe it was pecans. It is a bit pricey, but it is meant to be a step above casual dining. It was very quiet at a weekday lunchtime so it was easy to have a conversation. The wait staff was attentive and you can easily be in and out off there in time for a lunch break.
Great meal. Seven of us had dinner at Rosebud. We had a reservation, so we got seated in a large round table quickly. Our server, Norma was very pleasant and helpful. We started with cocktails. The Old Fashioned and Cosmos were very good. We placed our dinner orders and kept busy visiting while the food was prepared. All seven meals came out at the same time. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. My wife (and 2 friends) had the Four Cheese Baked Ziti with Sausage. We both enjoyed our meal choices and have leftovers for lunch. It's been a longtime since we've were last at a Rosebud location. We will be back.
Rosebud has a friendly, classy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was warm, smiling and attentive from greeting to dining. The fried calamari was fresh and crispy. I enjoyed the Tortellini Carbonara and its rich, thick, creamy cheese sauce. A great combination of saltiness from the prosciutto and sweetness from the peas. The portions were large and satisfying but a tad on the pricier side which reflects the quality of the cuisine. The square noodles were ok. I prefer a fattier protein like Italian Sausage with square noodles than the beef and veal mix. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it to be. I was dining with 3 others but one of the menus was not the same as the rest. One of the outdated menus was still in circulation but was removed after noticing the different item(s).
Had our Thanksgiving Dinner here. It had an intimate ambiance with soft warm lights and tables fairly close to each other. I ordered their eggplant Parmesan special and wow, this is the biggest serving I've ever had of it; can easily feed 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are. Even though I was only able to eat half of it, I very much enjoyed it. I wasn't too happy about the side pasta; it was overcooked and lukewarm when it was served to me. I had to ask for our server to reheat it, which he promptly did, but the pasta was still not that good so I had to sadly pass on it. I also got the vesuvio potatoes as a side and it was great! Loved the sauce! My mom had the ribeye steak with a side of spinach and she had no issue and it was cooked to perfection. Both the steak and spinach could've used a little more salt, though. For dessert, we decided on the banana pudding and it wasn't very good. The bananas weren't caramelized enough so it was all soggy and pairing it with the Oreo crust was a little confusing. The pudding itself didn't really wow; it was like mushed bananas with whipped cream on top. Overall, there were pros and cons for the food, but our server was very attentive and polite. I wouldn't mind coming back, but I'll be a little more careful about the pasta selection.
Very average food and super loud. Could only talk to person sitting immediately next to me. Did appreciate that the menu was clearly marked with gluten free options and they accommodated needs due to food allergy. Crab cake starter was delicious. Brick chicken was juicy, hamburger was so so, gnocchi was not at all good, and pasta Alfredo was fine. For the price and just average food, not rushing back.
After seeing a Yelper's photos recently of some deep dish pizza, I expressed a wish for some Detroit-style pizza with lots of tomato sauce and cheese. Someone in my household thought it would be interesting to sample several pizzas in a pizza war, pitting pizza against pizza, slice vs slice in a palate popping duel to the stomach (not my idea, I would have been happy with one decent slice). Challenger #1 arrived at the home via delivery and was lukewarm. Rosebud's pizza was of a flatbread variety, crust was brown and very crunchy. It assumed a dual identity of half pepperoni and half mix of meats (sausage and very crunchy prosciutto? salami? There was not very much sauce. This did not meet my criteria but that is the fault of the organizer of this impromptu contest. I would say that this pizza would have been better consumed in the restaurant. However, I would order pastas or other entrees when eating at Rosebud.
For me, Rosebud was an alright spot for dinner. The best parts of going to this restaurant were the prompt service, large dining area (though it's really hard to hear one another), elegant decor, varied menu, and plenty of parking. It really has all the characteristics that make it an ideal spot to gather in Deerfield for a special event. The food is where the experience falls a bit short. Even if price isn't factored in, the food is a bit bland and the preparation is fairly plain on many items. I tried a wide variety of items on my visit and found the quality to be a bit inconsistent. For example, the Jalapeno Hashbrowns were a bit soft and felt underseasoned and barely spicy at all while the bruschetta had nice fresh tomatoes with a lightly brunchy bread and the basil flavor came out pretty well with the right amount of cheese to add a little saltiness. The fried calamari was quite standard (though the quality of the calamari was pretty good) which relied completely on the sauce to give it any flavor while the grilled calamari was bursting with flavor and had a very nice tender texture to it as well. The caesar salad was also quite plain for me, once again feeling a bit underseasoned despite several salty elements. The short beef ragu was done fairly well, with a large portion of meat and tender fusilloni pasta. I liked how the sweet peas and shaved parmigiano added a bit of sweetness and richness to the dish without feeling too heavy. For dessert I tried the Godiva Chocolate Mousse Cake which was enormous and tasty. The chocolate really came out very clear in 3 distinct layers of mousse, cake, and ganache. The berries served on the side were fresh and the creme fraiche really helped to bind all the elements together. This dessert was so impressive maybe I'll have a meal of only desserts here one day as the other options sounded amazing as well. Overall, there are many things to like about this restaurant in terms of the service, decor, and setup -- the inconsistent nature of the food makes it somewhat difficult to unconditionally recommend as the difference between the worst and best dishes is still quite high. But there were more things to like about the experience than there were to dislike, and on the dishes that were prepared well, the flavor was quite impressive.

Norma was a fabulous plus to the excellent lamb chops . I was concerned about the mixed reviews . The service is great ! There are choices for how busy of a section you'd like . My section to the left there were 5 young boys and to my right a 4-year-old . Not exactly a date atmosphere. Mt favorite thing in the world is Lamb Chops and they were on the specials menu for $30, excellent price. I had the broccolini Steamed also fabulous . The taramasu needed more flavor . For the quality quantity price and flavor it was a very nice meal . Norma is a wonderful server . Thank you . The bread was fresh and didn't feel like poison in your mouth . read more
We were very pleased with our dining experience at Rosebud in Deerfield Il. There were lots of families dining on a Sunday night. The restaurant has a sports bar feeling with a central bar, multiple TV's and busy open kitchen. The service was good and prompt. We ordered a Caesar salad that was large enough for a family of four. It was well prepared in as much as the dressing being present on each piece of lattice and very tasty. In an unusual move, we split the entree, chicken vesuvio. Even half of the chicken was huge and accompanied by roasted potatoes and peas. The coconut cake was outstanding and again meant to be shared. There were lots of doggy bags going home. All in all, the food, service and ambience was outstanding and worth a visit. read more
How this place has only 3 stars is beyond me. The ambiance, food and service was a 10/10! My husband and I enjoyed a date night here last Thursday and enjoyed the caprese salad as an app and the Rigatoni alla vodka as an entree (highly recommend adding peas). The food was incredible, probably the best pasta dish I've had in the area and our server was attentive and kind. I also really enjoyed the dim lit ambiance it was perfect for the date night occasion. read more

Why are restaurants so loud these days?? We asked to get seated at the far end of the restaurant so it wouldn't be so loud. People around us complained about how loud it was as well.....maybe someone should do something about it. I started by ordering a bourbon. Thing is, I have more really good bourbons at home but wanted a drink with my meal. So I ordered the Bookers but when it came to the table it wasn't Bookers. Instead of coming back to the table and saying we don't have any the drink was placed on the table. Only after asking what it was I was told it was Angel's Envy which is an ok bourbon but not what I wanted. Because I tasted it I just met it go. But thinking about it that's just not right. We had the chopped salad which was fine, Brussels sprouts which were good. My date had fish and I had the chicken Vesuvio which was good. The potatoes were under cooked but ok. Nice looking place but don't think I'll be coming back. What did you say? Can't hear you. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews! Stopped here the other day for dinner with my mom and we had a great evening. The food is great, ambiance is lovely on the patio and our server was great. I ordered the vodka gnocchi and my mom ordered the eggplant stack chopped. Both were incredible and huge portion sizes. We will be back! read more

Ordered carry out and they were quick to say hello and ask for a name when I walked in the door. A server brought out my food efficiently and out the door fast. I would have to say the food was plastic wrapped so tightly that no spillage took place in the bag - probably best wrapped carry out food ever!! The eggplant parmigiana dinner comes with pasta and rolls, which was pretty good. Probably best to enter the shopping center from the Deerfield Road side to find the stand alone restaurant building. read more
All I need to say it is a much better spot than the one on Rush Street. Looking forward, when in Deerfield, to dine with friends & family once again. Staff was kind, respectful and earned a nice tip for their exemplary service. Didn't get a chance to snap photos but took home some of their deliciously prepared Wagyu Beef & Sautéed Mushrooms with French Fries. Mangia, Cheers! read more

My wife and I visited Rosebud on Tuesday for the first time and we both had a really nice evening there. We had made reservations and we were seated immediately. We were given water and a mix of breadsticks and bread right away. I ordered the Rosebud Baked Ziti and my wife ordered the Baked Cavatelli. I thought both dishes were excellent. Very tasty. We also ordered the Godiva Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert. We asked the waitress if we should order our own desserts or whether one would be large enough to share. She said they are definitely shareable. She wasn't kidding, see the picture I uploaded. It was huge and it was excellent. We both really enjoyed our meals and will be back. read more

If it wasn't for our waiter, I would only give 1 star. Please listen to the other reviews when they say this restaurant is overpriced with subpar food. The food was not terrible, but for the prices they charge you might as well go somewhere else and get better flavor and quality. The drinks were good, and the wait staff worked hard to satisfy, so I gave them an additional star. Sadly, not a place I will visit again. read more

We've been coming here for years since they originally opened at this location because it was so much more convenient to get here than in the city. This review is long overdue however the photos and experience are really a culmination of visits and also specific to Father's Day 2021. Service here has always been very friendly cordial and respectful and usually quite funny. I do enjoy that relaxed atmosphere and the interaction. The menu has stayed pretty traditional and straightforward throughout the years. Our favorite has always been the brick chicken because there is something magical about the seasonings and the way they roast it. We have been here during Covid and luckily have made reservations. There's a small outdoor dining section as well for this location. There is ample parking as the parking lot is dedicated to them. Would continue to definitely come back and visit as it has been consistently good with the food quality. read more

We have been coming to this Rosebud somewhat regularly, and I wanted to make a comment that we are really happy with the service, food, and new general management. The food is always super tasty. I'm including a picture of a beautiful chopped salad (with salmon) and it was really wonderful. The warm bread is also a total hit. My wife had one of the chicken dishes and she was also very happy. The regular bartender, Daniel is great. My mouth is starting to water. Just thinking about going back. read more
