My experience with RPM Italian in Chicago, though anticipated with excitement, unfortunately, fell short of expectations, particularly regarding a Grubhub delivery. Initially promised a delivery window of 30 minutes, my order arrived over an hour later, setting a tone of disappointment that the meal itself unfortunately continued. The food, a selection that included Ricotta di Bufala, Carbonara, and Chicken Parmesan, was average at best, which was particularly noticeable given the premium pricing. The Ricotta di Bufala lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for, especially given its 25$ cost for 9 pasta. Similarly, the Carbonara failed to deliver on any rich, comforting essence one looks for in such a classic dish, tasting somewhat bland. The Chicken Parmesan, a dish that should be succulently juicy and flavorful, was dry. Having enjoyed Italian cuisine extensively, I regret to say that RPM Italian did not meet the expectations set by its reputation or price point. While I understand that delivery can sometimes affect the quality of food, the overall experiencefrom the delayed delivery to the underwhelming dishessuggests theres room for improvement in both service and culinary execution.

We typically eat at RPM steak, but we wanted to try out RPM Italian for our anniversary. The food and service were amazing. They made us feel welcomed, and it was a great evening. The bread with whipped ricotta and wild blossom honey was truly amazing!

The food was not worth the price. Way, way too much salt. Saltier than a fast food place (think Fazoli's or Olive Garden.) Garlic truffle bread, cavitalli goat cheese pasta, gorgonzola gnocchi, and even caesar salad was way too salty, and not interesting in any way. Service was okay, but not particularly notable. Our total bill was $160, and we won't be back - not even with a gift card.
