About RPM Italian

RPM Italian is the River North anchor of the Lettuce Entertain You empire, co-owned by Bill and Giuliana Rancic and consistently among Chicago's most scene-driven upscale dining destinations. The restaurant's handmade pasta program and wood-fired Roman cuisine are paired with a power dining atmosphere — a dark, mahogany-rich interior that draws athletes, celebrities, and executives equally. The private dining room seats 30 and offers a customizable Italian feast experience that includes a hand-picked wine program from Giuliana's own label.

Aurora is Illinois' second-largest city, and the run to O'Hare along I-88 and the Tri-State (I-294) is a daily reality for its executives and travelers. Our chauffeurs track your flight in real time and time the pickup to your actual landing — no cell-lot waiting, no rushing the Eisenhower. Flat fare locked at booking, gratuity and tolls included.

O'Hare International Airport (…
55–85 min📍 45 milesFrom $130

From Joliet to O'Hare means I-55 north to the Tri-State — a stretch where traffic timing makes or breaks a flight. Our chauffeurs build buffer for the I-55/I-294 interchange and track your inbound flight on the return so you're met at baggage claim, not the curb. One flat fare, no peak pricing, regardless of the hour.

From
Elgin, IL

O'Hare International Airport (…
35–55 min📍 22 milesFrom $130

Elgin sits a straight shot down the Jane Addams (I-90) from O'Hare, making it one of our quicker northwest-suburb airport runs. Chauffeurs monitor I-90 construction and the Elgin O'Hare (I-490) progress to pick the fastest live route. Flat-fare pricing locked at booking — no metered surprises.

What Our Clients Say

Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.

Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.

Arriving at RPM Italian — RPM Italian

Arriving at RPM Italian

RPM Italian sits at 52 W Illinois St in River North, the Lettuce Entertain You flagship co-owned by Bill and Giuliana Rancic. Illinois Street fills with a scene-driven crowd on weekend nights, so our chauffeur times the drop-off and stages at the entrance. River North parking is garage-only and pricey, so we release your party curbside and hold the vehicle nearby. For one of the city's most scene-driven dining destinations, a planned arrival means guests step straight into the mahogany-rich room rather than circling River North — and an SUV or sedan pull-up suits the power-dining atmosphere.

Events at RPM Italian — RPM Italian

Events at RPM Italian

RPM Italian seats 250 in its dining room and up to 30 in the private dining room, hosting Power Dinners, Special Occasions, Corporate Dining, and Celebrity Sightings. The 30-seat private room offers a customizable Italian feast with a hand-picked wine program, suited to a focused group arriving together. For Power Dinners and Corporate Dining in the main room, we time the arrival to the reservation. With the restaurant drawing athletes, celebrities, and executives to River North, planning the arrival around the seating keeps your party in place as the handmade-pasta program begins.

Getting to RPM Italian in style — RPM Italian

Getting to RPM Italian in style

A power dinner at RPM Italian calls for an arrival that fits the scene-driven River North room. A Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes S-Class delivers your party to 52 W Illinois St with executive polish, while a Lincoln Continental handles a refined couple's arrival. For a special occasion or a 30-seat private-room dinner, a Rolls-Royce Phantom adds the right note. We match the vehicle to the party, time the pull-up to the busy Illinois Street curb, and stage at the door so the evening starts the moment they step out rather than circling for a garage. Reserve at (224) 801-3090.
