The Rosati's Story It's hard to imagine a restaurant business with a stronger foundation than Rosati's Pizza. Its traditions go all the way back to the gaslight era. In 1895, Fred Rosati, a recent immigrant from Italy, opened a fine Italian restaurant in Coney Island, New York. Eleven years later he moved to Chicago and founded another restaurant in the same family tradition. This restaurant enjoyed such success that Rosati's was able to expand to include a hotel, a saloon and a small importing and exporting business of Italian foods. Pizza, back in those days, was strictly old-world Italian fare, simply a tomato sauce served on crisp bread. Mr. Rosati often put it on the table as a special treat for his customers and friends, but there was no charge for it. In 1927, Fred's son, Sam, opened yet another restaurant in Chicago featuring the finest Italian dishes. Over the years, this downtown restaurant became a popular gathering. more history We accept the following cards
