Bar Roma Chicago

This Father’s Day Weekend at Bar Roma, we’re celebrating the dads the Italian way — with bold flavors, great drinks, and a special menu inspired by regions across Italy. 🇮🇹

From fresh Insalate Mare loaded with poached shrimp, calamari, octopus & scallops… to veal sweetbread meatballs in wild mushroom marsala cream… to wood-grilled lamb chops with Moroccan couscous and paprika butter — this is a feast worthy of Father’s Day weekend.

Join us June 19th–21st for an unforgettable celebration full of incredible food, wine, cocktails, and famiglia.

Great food. Good drinks. Even better dads.
Buona Festa del Papà! 🍷🥩🇮🇹

Happy Pride Month from your friends, neighbors, and allies at Bar Roma! 🌈

Today marks the beginning of a month filled with joy, celebration, community, and love in all its beautiful forms. We are deeply proud and grateful to call Chicago’s incredible Andersonville “gayborhood” home, and even more honored to be a safe, welcoming space for every guest who walks through our doors.

To our LGBTQIA+ family, friends, staff, neighbors, and patrons — thank you for making this community so vibrant, resilient, creative, and full of life. We celebrate you not just this month, but every single day.

Here’s to a Pride season overflowing with laughter, dancing, chosen family, good food, great wine, and unforgettable memories. Wishing everyone the happiest, safest, and most jubilant Pride Month ever. 🏳️‍🌈✨ In the face of discrimination, hostility, and political attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community, we stand proudly and unwaveringly beside our neighbors and loved ones — together we are strong, and together we shine brighter than ever.

With love,�Bar Roma

Tonight’s Wine Wednesday = a proper send-off 🍷

It’s John’s last one with us, and he’s going out the only way that makes sense—pouring wines from Emilia-Romagna and keeping your glass full all night long.

We’re pairing his picks with a couple all-timers:�$15 Antipasti Misti�$20 Lasagnas

Come hang, grab a pour, and give John the send-off he deserves. One more for the road? Absolutely.

$10 Martinis Tonight 🍸

Mother’s Day plans = handled 💐🍝

Chef Fred Ramos has officially dropped his Mother’s Day Specials Menu, and it’s everything Mom deserves—thoughtful, indulgent, and made to celebrate her properly.

Reservations are now live, so lock in your table before they’re gone.

And a little extra reason to celebrate: all bottles of wine are half off on Mother’s Day (and every Sunday) 🍷

Great food, great wine, and the perfect way to say grazie, Mom.

Reserve now via the link in our bio.

Every Wednesday at 7am, Rosa’s hands get to work—rolling, shaping, and bringing our pasta to life the way it’s meant to be. The best hands in Chicago, no question. 🍝

Is there a more classic Chicago pairing than a steak and a martini? We’ll wait.

Even better when that martini—dirty or dry—is just $10. All night, every Tuesday. 🥩🍸
