Came in town for my birthday and had a wonderful dinner. My super picky eater daughter even ate her whole meal. Our server was fabulous. Can’t wait to come back. And the little birthday ice cream cones were the perfect ending to our meal.

I went there fore a conference dinner. The branzino with fennel was the best thing on this pre-set dinner menu. It is worth going again. I will save this for a special occasion.

Ravioli tastes like one you can buy from the traders Joe and boil yourself. Desert we had was some specials that tasted like cheap ice cream called bakes Alaska tasted like the cheapest ice cream from Walgreens. Teramisu awful.

Beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. Stopped by for drinks and appetizers before a show. Food was very good with the exception of the lobster caprese appetizer. It was good quality but extremely salty. The only reason for not giving 5 stars on the food. For that price point I expect perfection ?. I had the paloma which was excellent. My friend had the old fashioned which she said was very well balanced. Overall delightful experience.

Sigh, I wanted to love it but I cannot. Google told me the chicken parm was great here and the service was impressive I found neither to be true. I was disappointed with my food (they did take it off the bill) and the drinks were not great. The service was okay but not for what we paid.

Title: A Taste of Italy in Chicago: My Unforgettable RPM Italy Adventure!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Review:Wow, where do I even begin? RPM Italy is not just a restaurant; it's an experience that took me straight to the heart of Italy without leaving Chicago!From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was transported to a charming Italian trattoria. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.Let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was divine! Each dish felt like it was crafted with love and attention to detail. The pasta was so fresh and flavorful, it made me question if I was still in Chicago or dining in a quaint Italian village.But what truly made my experience stand out was the staff. They weren't just servers; they were like old friends, guiding me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and making sure every aspect of my dining experience was perfect.Whether you're a die-hard fan of Italian cuisine or just someone looking for a memorable meal, RPM Italy is the place to be. Trust me, you won't regret it. My night at RPM Italy will forever be etched in my memory as one of the best dining experiences of my life. Grazie mille, RPM Italy, for an unforgettable adventure!

I wish I could've given this place a 5/5. I expected a 5/5 considering their sister restaurant, RPM steak was amazing. My table was placed right near the entrance at a corner table with barely any room. I can't even rate the ambiance of this place because I only experienced it from our little corner near the entrance. The waiter was nice, but the whole experience felt rushed. It felt like he was rushing to get us in and out of the restaurant and I didn't like that at all. We ordered the ricotta bread and octopus for appetizer and it was good. I've had more tender octopus but it wasn't bad. For main dishes we got rigatoni Ala vodka, spaghetti and meatballs, and eggplant parmesan. All very delicious. I'd be willing to give this place another chance since I did like the food. Hopefully I'm not feeling rushed out next time!

Has been my favorite Chicago Italian restaurant since I have been here over the past 10 years! Brussel spout salad and eggplant parmigiana is my favorites! The bread is also incredible. They also do very well with carry out and easy/fast with correct order every time for delivery services. Great ambiance and open late for the area. Never tried something I didn't love here!

Finally tried to RPM. The service and ambiance lived up to the hype. The staff know the menu well and are able to make excellent suggestions. We started with 2 appetizers the meatballs and truffled garlic bread. They went together well and the sauce was great for dipping the bread into. We tried the chicken Parmesan and a special on the menu. The server suggested the special to me over the lobster ravioli. The portions are good sized and you won't leave hungry. We passed on dessert as we were full. Will be back
