    These folks get the details right Three doors to enter the room, in winter who wants to get a blast of cold air every time someone comes in or out. We dined at Toro on a cold night, they only have a single door and the room kept getting cold We have been here for brunch and have experienced the cozy, inviting room Everyone exhibits a high level of professionalism, friendly but not formal We have the focaccia, beets and burrata to start. all very fresh with the right textures I have the mushroom ravioli, a very harmonious dish, my wife went with the lentils and raved over that and our son had the salmon and was also very happy For dessert we did a large turtle sundae. a huge service with plenty of sauces and nuts to dress up the creamy soft serve Great place and plenty of other folks were enjoying it along with us on a Sunday evening instead of watching football

    Miss the original Rosebud on Taylor (evidently private events only there now - ridiculous) but the one on Rush is a good replacement. The food was outstanding, and our waiter Fredrico was superb. He always appeared at the table at the right time. That is a skill not everyone has in the restaurant business. He was not the only good service - our hostess, I am sad I didn't get her name, was wonderfully accommodating. Allison at the downstairs bar may make one of the best Negroni's in Chicago! I had my usual veal Milanese - it was perfect! The breading was crisp and stayed on the meat. The rigatoni that came with it was good. The sauce is close to my family recipe, so it always tastes like home. I would say the only downside to the whole meal was the bread. I like a nice crispy Italian bread - only so-so rolls in our basket. Overall tremendous experience and always look forward to going back for more.
