Where do I begin … today was my first/last experience here. To be clear, this is a “to-go” experience. Apparently the restaurant fulfills pick-up orders outside of normal hours. I had to go to a back entrance off of an alley. The order was
Had a lovely dinner at RPM Italian.
The restaurant was very clean and classy. Service was good and I liked how they changed plates for us in between courses. However, the wait time in between the appetizers and main course was a bit too long. Our server asked if we were ready for our p

Ambience and wait staff were nice, but way overpriced for just okay food and cocktails. My partner and I split the burrata appetizer and it came with only 3 slices of bread. The wait staff were nice enough to get us more when asked, but crazy that 3
Great date night dinner
Set a reservation for my wife’s b day. The staff as we entered were upbeat and positive. Our waiter was fantastic very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, even offered to have their wine expert come to discuss wine pairings. Food was gre
Such an underwhelming experience.
I'm not sure what the hype is about. This was our first time dining at the restaurant. We had gotten take out just one time before this. The takeout was nothing special so we thought why not go to the restaurant maybe our experience might be dif

It was recommended to be dinette RPM Italian in Chicago through some friends. The interior is a very modern the black and white theme. Food portions were more of the small side of things for the price you pay but the food was delicious nonetheless.

I have been to RPM Italian before and knew it was a great spot. Decided to go here again for a birthday and was very excited. Initially we were super disappointed in the service and were waiting forever. We asked one hostess twice and got no reaction
Very good Italian food
Very good food, but also pretty pricey. I had Cacio Pepe my coworker had the Chicken Parm and we were both very pleased with our meals. The Cacio Pepe was a pretty small portion but his Chicken Parm seemed huge! He also got a gin and tonic and sai

My daughter and I popped in on a late afternoon recently.
We were in the mood for a light dinner and RPM Italian came to mind. We sat at the bar, ordered some wine, then each of us got a Caesar salad and shared an order of bruschetta. So relaxed and enjoyable! Food and wine were delicious, service was ex
Ordered via door dash.
The arancini was wonderful! Truffle garlic bread and rigatoni alla vodka was delicious as well. Would order again!
If you can get here before tomato season is over.
....you MUST try their tomato martini. It sounds weird but I was in love. It's sweet and salty and herby and unlike a drink i've ever had. I also tried their mushroom pizzette which was the perfect dinner for 1! It's pretty thin, but

Certainly a good Italian restaurant
We came here following a recommendation and to have a change from some of the other culinary delights in Chicago. Good choices - I had a truffle risotto - and good sized portions. The restaurant was very busy and I suggest you book in advance. Good w

I sat down at the bar on Friday, July 18th, around 5pm. I waited for about 10 minutes before a bartender (one of four) to silently hand me a Happy Hour menu and walk away. I waited for another 10 minutes for the bartender that handed me the menu,

Another classic Italian restaurant heard from
As if there aren't enough outstanding Italian restaurants in Chicago, add RPM Italian to the list. Near the top. After all, what would you expect from the Chicago-based Lettuce Entertain You restaurant empire? Located at 52 West Illinois Street,

This is a superb upscale restaurant that maintains its quality every time I go for dinner when visiting Chicago. Elyse, in management, was very attentive, accommodated very smoothly to pushing the time given our delay in arriving to Chicago. Nice t

First of all, I'm remiss that I can't remember the name of our server, but he definitely gets the first shout out. We have some severe allergies in our group, and several restaurants said they could accommodate but ended up making my friend sick, so
The food was good but the ambience was TERRIBLE.
They were playing house music at an incredibly loud volume. Could not hear the waiter or anyone at the table.

Excellent Italian food.
Always visit this location when in Chicago. Hip, cool ambience. The bar is great. Make reservations and get there early to enjoy a drink before dinner.
Excellent restaurant.
Gorgeous ambiance and lighting. We tried 3 pastas and they were all delicious. The pasta portions are small. Love the squid ink pasta with crab. Brussel sprouts were delicious. Our server Sara was great.

I wanted to love everything about this restaurant but ultimately we were a bit disappointed. The toast with whipped ricotta was the best. Chicken was a bit dry but the sauce had an amazing flavor. Brussel sprouts were good but way too salty. Lobster

Hot take, RPM Italian has a better steak than most steakhouses in Chicago. The house made pasta is a home run as well! We arrived to the familiar RPM vibes, low music in the background, and clean, rich, dark colors. Service was excellent, our serv

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.
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 litt

RPM is always a solid option.
We were able to walk in for a quick bite before dinner. The server was attentive and down to earth. Not the best old fashioned I've had but still good by a means. Mama depandi's pomodoro is always a must!

Connect with users posting reservations for RPM Italian Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with RPM Italian Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to RPM Italian Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the RPM Italian Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at RPM Italian Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at RPM Italian Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
