| - Madison is a small city. Madison is a small city. Madison is a small city. You see, I have to keep telling myself that because despite what the news and the people of Madison say, think, and want....MADISON IS A SMALL CITY!
Why is that important in a Yelp review? Well, with it being a small city...there are many things we cannot get. A good authentic Philly cheesesteak (not the crappy Wisconsin roast beef version), a decent soup place, good Chinese food, alligator, good seafood, a Taco Bell that serves alcohol, and deep dish Chicago pizza....wait what?
I have known about Rosati's for years and also knew they had deep dish Chicago pizza and other Chicago favorites. Why only try them recently? Well, I live in Fitchburg so it is not an easy take-out of delivery location for me and....well I was dumb and did not realize they had a seating area. yes, I thought it was only take-out and delivery. Anyway, after a picture on Yelp cleared that up it was time to treat the family on a night I was craving it.
So....lets go one item at a time as I have been back a few times in the last few months.
DEEP DISH PIZZA: Is the the best? No. Many places in Chicago have that on lock but for Madison.....yes. Ok, they are the only player in town but it was a good cheesy and yummy Chicago deep dish pizza.
THIN CRUST PIZZA: Well I have kids and a wife. None of them eat deep dish with me so I always have to get a think crust as well. Eh....it is good but I have had better in Madison.
ITALIAN BEEF: What? Where did this come from? Yes you cannot get a good Italian beef in Madison either. Same opinion as the Philly cheesesteak. Well, look no longer because the Italian beef at Rosati's awesome. Dipped, great beef, add some cheese, and giardiniera....hmmm.....yum!
Oh....dont get the dough nuggets. They are not very good.
So....I like Rosati's a lot and the vast Chicago menu is great for a person like me who loves food in Chicago. My advice to Wisconsin...Stop calling your roast beef sandwiches an Italian beef of Philly Cheesesteak....you just disappoint people!
