About Us
 In 1927, Ferdinand Rosati's
 son Sam opened the first
 Rosati's restaurant in
 Chicago. When a streetcar
 ride cost a nickel,
 stockyards covered the
 south side, and the city's
 tallest building was twenty
 stories high, Rosati's was
 quickly becoming the place
 for authentic Italian cuisine.

 When Sam retired, his sons moved to the suburbs with a new and timely
 idea. The year was 1959 and pizza was catching on. Today the stockyards
 and street cars are gone. Sears Tower and Big John rise over 100 stories.
 And Rosati's continues to deliver Italian Cuisine that's fresh, hot and
 delicious.

 Now we have over 145 Rosati's restaurants in 11 states and growing. We
 still use original Rosati's family recipes. We slow roast our beef for that
 famous Chicago taste. Our pizza dough, sauces, lasagna, and meatballs
 are all made from scratch daily. When it comes to pizza, we use our secret
 blend of three cheeses and pile on the fresh ingredients as if we were
 cooking it for our own family. We even use an authentic baker's oven. It
 may take a little longer than "assembly line" pizzas, but it creates a taste
 so delicious to your table you'll find it's well worth the wait.
