“Excellent place in Fulton Market.”

Excellent place in Fulton Market. Small plates that are shareable. Went with my wife and two daughters. We ordered six plates. All of them great. Nice ambiance. Cool date place. Will definitely be back. Also, don’t be afraid to ask them to take off the 4% surcharge which they say is to “help offset operational costs affecting the restaurant industry”. It’s a load of crap and no one really knows where it goes. I told our waiter I would rather just give him the extra 4%, which I did. Shocking a high end restaurant adds this to the bill. C’mon, a Joe Flamm!

“This was a wonderful experience, the food was suggested to get 1-2 dishes per person and in a group...”

This was a wonderful experience, the food was suggested to get 1-2 dishes per person and in a group of 4 we opted to get 6 which was perfect for us. We ordered (in my fav order): the rigatoni, duck, zucchini fritters, shrimp scampi, octopus, and sharma. But even my 4-6 the last 3 were amazing and I’d recommend them! We also were gifted complimentary truffle risotto which was actually crazy, probably fights for the number 1 spot but since it was gifted I wanted to rate it outside of that. Regardless, incredible experience, our server John was awesome, and all the additional waitstaff were so kind and prompt. 100% recommend, it was a perfect mix of inviting but elevated dining. Since it was dishes split between everyone it didn’t even feel super oppressive a price, wonderful holiday treat for everyone.

We went as a group and tried a variety of dishes and desserts, including: -Zucchini Fritters -Roasted Pear Salad -Tuna Crudo -Caramelle Pasta -Rigatoni -Cacio Pepe -Duck Sausage -Chocolate Budino (mousse toffee dessert) -Palacinke (apple dessert) -Crostata di Pistachio (dessert) My favorite dishes were thezuchinni fritters, tuna Crudo, rigatoni, and crostata di pistachio (honorary mention to the Caramelle pasta). The Coast to Coast cocktail and brown butter pina colada (nonalcoholic) were also some of the favorite drinks out of what we tried. Would recommend and return again!

“I celebrated my birthday at Rosemary, and honestly, they nailed it from start to finish.”

I celebrated my birthday at Rosemary, and honestly, they nailed it from start to finish. We were greeted with warm hospitality, and our waiter John G set the tone right away—he surprised us with zucchini fritters on the house. Perfectly salty, crunchy, and paired with a basil pesto aioli that I could’ve eaten by the handful. Me and my friend split the cacio e pepe, which I can only describe as the ultimate adult mac and cheese. The pasta was cooked to perfection and tossed in a sauce that was both decadent and peppery. My boyfriend went for the Brussels sprouts, and he declared them “the best Brussels sprouts he’s ever had.” High praise, and honestly, I agree. For mains, we shared the steak—juicy, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. It’s a fattier cut, so if you’re not into that, maybe pick another option, but I loved it. My boyfriend had the duck sausage, which was delicious but a little on the smaller side. We wrapped it all up with the chocolate bundino: silky chocolate pudding topped with crunchy bits and coffee gelato. A perfect sweet ending. I can’t wait to come back—huge thanks to John G for making the night feel special.

“I sat at the bar and truly had an incredible time.”

I sat at the bar and truly had an incredible time. Hannah was my bartender and she was so impressive. Her recommendations were very on point considering what little info I gave her. She’s honest and quick, sharp as hell-and has hawk-like vision. Women with this level of intention and seriousness tend to fall under the radar. Hopefully this isn’t the case but nonetheless-cheers! You’re awesome Anthony is a superstar and has exquisite taste in spirits and cocktails. Lovely hospitality expert as well Meredith is a gem. She was welcoming and accommodating and very serious e and professional The pasta was very good. But always the folks that sell the menu are the superstars

“Shut up and take my money.”

Shut up and take my money! The food was phenomenal! We came in on a Sunday night without a reservation. Luckily we got a seat at the bar (2 people). Bartenders were fantastic, and recommend we order 3-4 dishes. We picked one from every section expect risotto, and even ended with desert! Solid 10/10 highlights of the night were the Tuna Crudo and Caramelle!

“Some restaurants flirt with greatness — Rose Mary downright sweeps you off your feet.”

Some restaurants flirt with greatness — Rose Mary downright sweeps you off your feet. From the first zucchini fritter to the final bite of lamb ragu, every dish danced somewhere between comfort and celebration. The zucchini fritters arrived crisp and golden, whispering summer into every bite. The squash followed, impossibly tender and full of quiet confidence. Then came the pork ribs — smoky, sweet, but a bit dry. The tuna crudo shimmered like edible poetry, the kind that doesn’t need metaphors because your mouth is already applauding. The squid ink risotto flirted with danger — a touch too salty, perhaps, but bold and unapologetic, like that one friend who always makes the night unforgettable. And the lamb ragu? A slow-simmered love letter — earthy, rich, and everything you wish pasta could be. Chef Joe himself eluded us by a mere 30 minutes (our waiter’s words still haunt us), but his spirit lingered in every plate that hit the table. The kitchen hums with precision, the service glides without fuss, and the energy in the room feels like everyone knows they’re part of something special.

“Rose Mary offers a modern Italian/Croatian dining experience in a lively & airy space.”

Rose Mary offers a modern Italian/Croatian dining experience in a lively & airy space. Highlights from the menu included the crispy zucchini fritters, the peppery and rich cacio e pepe (so perfectly chewy!), and the duck with a rich and flavorful plum sauce. The portions do run small for the price, which is fairly typical for the West Loop, but the flavors were well-executed across the board.

I visited Rose Mary in Chicago and was charmed by its warm, rustic ambiance and the open kitchen that made the dining experience feel intimate. I tried several Croatian-Italian fusion dishes—like lamb ragu mafaldine, stracciatella with lepinja, and pork ribs pampanella—and most were deeply flavorful, though one pasta felt a bit over-salted. The service was thoughtful, with servers guiding me through the menu and pacing dishes well despite the restaurant being busy. Overall, it was delicious, creative, and well worth the hype

“Had a lovely meal.”

Had a lovely meal. My favorite dish by far was the shrimp scampi. The fritters were also great and I enjoyed the pasta dishes we got. Also loved the refreshing desert rose spritz. The apple dessert wasn’t my favorite but my mom loved it.
