Food Review: Rose Mary

Rose Mary is a Croatian/Italian restaurant owned by Top Chef winner Joe Flamm, located in West Loop, Chicago.

This restaurant opened up in Chicago in 2021. It's so popular, it took me three months to get a reservation! Was it worth the wait? Totally! Make a reservation here.

What we ordered:

• Spaghetti & Duck Sausage

• Spinach Cappelletti & Shaved Truffle

• Pork Ribs Pampanella

• Roasted Scallops

• Grilled Cucumber Salad

Price: $$

Definitely a splurge night, but not as expensive as some restaurants. Popular dishes ranged from $11-$25, while a few of the nicer meats ranged from $40-$80. If you add specialty drinks to that, the costs do add up.

We were recommended 2-3 plates per person and we ordered 5 dishes plus gelato for dessert. We were stuffed and the portion sizes were a bit bigger than small plates.

Overall, some of the best flavors I've ever had, combined with the food being cooked perfectly. I highly recommend eating at this restaurant and I can't wait to go back again soon!
