Right before the Cubs clinched the division last Friday, we were out eating dinner at an excellent Italian restaurant with our friend Ellen. It was a beautiful night, so we walked the mile and half or so that it is from our apartment. Located in Lincoln Park, Rose Angelis looks deceptively small from the outside. But once you enter, it feels like the eating space is about a block long! We arrived at about 6 on a Friday and were amongst the first there, but by 7 the place was packed! (They don't take reservations.) The atmosphere was very comfortable, the food was fresh and excellent tasting and the portions were enormous.
We started out by sharing a really creative and tasty special salad of the day which had all kinds of unusual vegtables in it, along with a beautiful presentation. Even though three of us shared it, we still couldn't finish it all. Susan had spinach and mushroom ravioli half moons which were drenched in a really great tasting brown butter. Kate had a spinach fettucine with chicken and vegtables which was fine, but the real star of the show was the half moons. We all shared something that was billed as tiramisu for dessert (and again were unable to finish it - it was huge). Why is it that anything that has a foamy top and a suggestion of rum is automatically called tiramisu? This was good, but it was more like cheesecake than tiramisu. Nevertheless, the dining experience at Rose Angelis was excellent. We'd go back for the moons alone!
