When in Naperville dine with Rosebud

18 Jul

Thousands of suburbanites travel to Chicago daily and many of them dine in places like Rosebud Prime, Rosebud on Rush, Carmine’s and many of the other Rosebud Family of Restaurants throughout Chicagoland. So when you are dining in Naperville, you have to consider one of Chicago’s Best Italian Restaurants – The “All New” Rosebud Italian Specialties and Pizzeria. Rosebud of Naperville has been around since 1997, but the new location has only been around for a few months.

Since I have dined at the old location near the River walk many of times, I really wanted to try the new location and its new menu .

The inside of the restaurant is very spacious with an open kitchen design and a huge brick oven for Rosebuds signature pizza pies. Big Red Leather Booths, Big tables, wrap around bar, nice patio, and an amazing private party room in the rear.

It was a gorgeous summer evening, so I chose to eat outside. Our metal table outside wasn’t as nice as the ones inside but I enjoyed people watching  and reminded me of the patio on Taylor Street.

Our waitress was very outgoing and was very helpful when it came to pairing the right entrée with the right wine.

From the warm bread, to the flash fried calamari, pizza and amazing pork chop calabrese — we throughly enjoyed our meal with Rosebud of Naperville.

Of course, I saved a little room for dessert. One of the best things about going to one of Alex Dana’s Rosebud Restaurants is the desserts.

The New Rosebud Naperville has become the New Mecca of Italian Dining in the Western Suburbs.

Rosebud Italian Specialties and Pizzeria is located at:

22 East Chicago Avenue, Naperville, IL 60540

Ristorante DeMarco’s is a casual, yet refined Italian venue with a creative menu that transcends regular Italian cuisine into exceptional Fare. In fact, DeMarco’s offers the perfect balance of flavor in every dish and elevating Italian cooking can be tricky, since the cuisine itself was never meant to take be elegant. Ristorante DeMarco’s does a masterful job of doing so.

The reason DeMarco’s is so good – Love and Consistency! DeMarco’s kitchen staff has been together for 18 years and they put their heart in soul in making every wonderful dish. One of the Signature dishes that is sold out every Wednesday Night is there World Famous Osso Bucco. The Osso Bucco is baked the old world way and than seasoned with a twist of passion and flavor that makes you say — Wow. Each Bite will melt in your mouth and put a smile on your face like your grandmothers cooking did for you as a child.

No Italian Dinner is complete without a little cappuccino !!!

Of course, if you have cappuccino, you must have the dessert at Ristorante DeMarco’s too. One of the most notable desserts at DeMarco’s is the Tiramisu. The Tiramisu is nicely done–creamy, sweet and not too tart which makes for the perfect ending of a wonderful meal.

So if you want to live the Sweet Life (La Dolce Vita)
