Rose Angelis   

After more than 118,250 orders of ravioli luigi, 681,000 orders of manicotti, 41,050 orders of tiramisu and 95,300 bottles of wine ordered, neighborhood eatery Rose Angelis continues to flourish quite nicely. A popular dining experience for urban professionals in Lincoln Park and Old Town for more than 10 years, Rose Angelis is one of the area's most romantic spots. Dark wood accents, eyecatching oversized paintings and muted tones offer a minimalist setting in order to allow the food to take center stage. Favorite menu items include Mezzalune al burro (spinach pasta half moons stuffed with ricotta and pesto served in a seasoned light brown butter sauce), Raviolini alla Maria (salmon-filled raviolini in a basil pesto cream sauce with chopped kalamata olive), tortellone con salsa di noce (gorgonzola-filled tortellone tossed with grapes in a walnut pesto cream sauce) and Ravioli alla Luigi (ricotta-filled ravioli served in a robust sundried tomato cream sauce). Warm weather woos diners to the ultra-romantic outdoor patio, which is complete with picnic-like tables, greenery and benches.
