Our industry is built on the labor, culture, and care of immigrant communities. That’s why we’re participating in Pueblos y Platillos on January 19, raising funds for direct grocery support for immigrant families across Chicago. Proud to be part of this. Visit for tickets and more info.

started with a stage in rome 8 years ago, then an idea, that became a dream and reality, happy first bday !!!

This place has helped me watch line cooks become chefs for the first time, agms, become gms, my son turn 7, and brought some many incredible people into my life, in our teams and our guest. Ushered in an era of and shown that Chicago loves Rome.

Not without our challenges, our stumbles, but 365 days in, she’s better today than she’s ever been bc of the team that has pushed since jump to get it there, and can’t thank you all enough, this s**t is a dream and it fu***ng rules

Night one in the books!!!

It takes a village to do it, and i have the best one, from my team, to my partners, to my home squad keeping me sane, to all the home squads of my team keeping them sane, purveyors, farmers, regulars, and family that make this all happen, I can’t thank you enough.

It’s never easy, but man I can’t believe I got to open a restaurant again in the city I love, and the hours may be long but this crew made it damn fun. Was stressful as s**t but also spent a lot of time laughing my ass off with the peope i’m lucky enough to have around me

I love you all, all day, everyday.
