I know this is going to shock some people that I am giving this place such a low score, but I feel that they raised the bar so high that they were not able to meet it for me. First of all, this place is overpriced as hell. Like way overpriced for w

Slow service. We won't be back. The Suomi was awful and I was disappointed

You can find RPM Italian at 52 W Illinois St, Chicago, IL 60654. I believe this area is called "Near North Side" - the restaurant was about a half mile from my hotel, the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile so I'm unsure about the p

Had an amazing time here! Wanted to try this place for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Food, service and ambience were incredible. Definitely will be back again when we visit.
Are here for a friends birthday a few weeks ago.
There are 3 different RPMs, so make sure you tell your Uber driver to take you to the right one, I'm looking at you, Chris. LOL! Also, the place is HUGE! The food was amazing-- we had a table of 6, and ordered a lot of apps and entrees so we co
Yesterday, I went with 12 of my colleagues to RPM.
It was my first time there. We ordered shared apps and then our own entrees. The burrata and garlic bread were among my favorite apps. I specifically ordered the Braided Short Rib which was the biggest hit of the night. The meat was so nice and ten
Went here this past weekend and left so satisfied.
The restaurant is very large but not in a bad way. It is a upscale beautiful dining room. The service was friendly but not over-bearing, I didn't think much about it which in this case is typically a good sign of success. The food was great, ev
Definitely lived up to the hype.
It was my first time here, but I've been to RPM Steak before and loved it, so I had high expectations. We ordered a bunch of apps and entrees to share, and everything was delicious. The bread with honey and whipped ricotta was 10/10. The meatbal
It was delicious! Busy night but service was on point.
Would definitely visit again next time I'm in town.
This is an upscale Italian restaurant.
It offers a sophistic dinning experience. The vibe is contemporary. The servers are professional and attentive. The food was high quality and memorable. I enjoyed every single dish we tried as a large group. The dishes were served as family style.
Amazing food! 10/10 overall on the food quality.
We went for a birthday and our server even brought out some complimentary gelato in little cones. The restaurant was busy even for a Monday night. I would recommend placing reservations beforehand regardless of the day just to be safe. I would def

Another great anniversary dinner at an RPM! We so enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and most of all the sublime food! We arrived early and were seated after a brief wait. It's such a beautiful, modern dining room. Even with full tables, our

The atmosphere was both elegant and inviting, with soft lighting and a comfortable, sophisticated vibe. Our server was a true professional - attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm and friendly. All the d

Service was great, ambiance awesome, the place was hopping for a weeknight! The only thing is that the food was just not what I expected. I personally do not like spicy sauces on my Italian dishes and I do feel like they should warn you. I ordered

The food was outstanding.
I had the Garlic Bread AMAZING Then Guilianas Italian Salad then Mama DePandis Bucatini with Swordfish and then finished off with Bill's Chocolate Budino. If you can go here you will not be disappointed
A must visit spot in Chicago
My coworkers and I had a great time at RPM Italian Chicago. The ambience is lively and well-suited for group gatherings or people celebrating special occasions. My colleagues and I visited after a business event, and I was so glad we did, as the rest

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

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 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

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,

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.

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
* PerceptiveWash44, 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.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 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 PerceptiveWash44 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, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44'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.
