  “We visited Rosemary while my brother was in town after several friends recommended it. Overall, it was good, but I was a bit underwhelmed given the hype. The Rosemary Spritz was excellent, and the tuna was the standout dish. The sauce was fantastic. The zucchini fritters were good, though not particularly memorable. Of the pastas, I enjoyed the cacio e pepe, although it was quite salty. The spaghetti was extremely al dente, almost too much so for my taste. The ribs were also just okay; the sauce was delicious, but the meat was fairly dry. The biggest downside was our seating. We were placed in the very back near the service station, and there was constant activity behind our table throughout the meal. It made the atmosphere feel a bit hectic and took away from the overall experience. Not a bad meal by any means, but it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by all the recommendations.”

  “Rose Mary absolutely deserves all the hype. We started with the Baby Octopus, and wow it was amazing. Perfectly tender with incredible flavor. We also shared the Street Corn, which was just as delicious and the perfect appetizer to kick off the meal. For pasta, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe, and I honestly have to say it’s the best Cacio e Pepe I’ve ever had!!! It was unbelievably creamy, rich without feeling heavy, and packed with flavor. I would come back to Rose Mary just for that dish. We also tried the Mafaldine, which was another excellent pasta, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The cocktails were just as impressive. We had the Rum Coconut #2, Bad Apple Bourbon, and Blind Rhubarber, and every single one was exceptional. Super balanced, creative, and honestly some of the best cocktails we’ve had in Chicago. Everything we ordered was outstanding, and you can really tell how much care goes into every dish. If you’re planning to visit Rose Mary, don’t skip the Baby Octopus and definitely, definitely order the Cacio e Pepe. It’s unforgettable.”

  “We had such a wonderful dinner at Rosemary. We had the shrimp and clams both of which were absolutely delicious. We also had the ribs which were unlike anything we have eaten before. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was energetic. Can’t wait to go back.”

  “We had been wanting to try Rosemary for a long time. We ordered the zucchini fritter, the cacio e pepe, and the pork ribs, and every single dish was outstanding. As you can see, none of the photos show a full plate because we were jumping on the dishes the moment they arrived. Highly recommended, 100% worth it!”

  “We were quite disappointed with the food. We had heard this restaurant was really good and was looking forward to trying new dishes to celebrate our anniversary. The zucchini fritters were good but the pesto aioli had the faintest pesto flavour that I didn’t even know it was pesto. The mafaldine pasta had great taste but the pasta itself was undercooked and by the time we were done with our meal, our jaws were tired from chewing so much. The tuna carpaccio also let us down because the slices were so thin and the sauce overpowered the taste of the tuna. We were most disappointed with the braised pork ribs because our waitress had said it was very good. the ribs were too dry and had very little flesh on there. It was very tiring to chew the meat as it wasn’t at all tender. Overall, it wasn’t a good meal and we regret having gone as our anniversary dinner.”

  “We were able to get reservations on Easter, and we definitely were happy with the food options. The kitchen did a great job of ensuring my food was gluten free, and was able to quickly pivot when they realized only my meal was the GF option, not my hubby's. The pea salad was a hit, light and crunchy. Yogurt with berries, yum, thick and creamy. Cauliflower was my favorite mainly due to the outstanding flavors and crispy-ness :). This was a great find in one of the best neighborhoods, Fulton Market.”

  “The menu is sophisticated. We all agreed that we loved the pastas. The ribs were a tad too sweet for my taste. I didn’t like the squid ink risotto, at all.”

  “Come ready to eat. Everything is delicious. Maybe research a little before ordering but the whimsy of ordering on the fly did not disappoint. Can’t wait to try Joe’s other restaurants and knock out our own Flamm-Slam. We really enjoyed the onset envy at looking at other people’s plates.”

  “Rose Mary absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between lively and comfortable, making it perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re visiting Chicago or looking for one of the city’s standout restaurants, Rose Mary is definitely worth the reservation. We’ll be back!”
