Turn east (left) on Taylor and watch for it on the north side of the street. If you see a parking place after you turn on to Taylor, grab it - Rosebud is only a couple of blocks off Ashland. I've been there a couple of times. Its old fashion southern Italian done up in Frank Sinatra style. I wouldn't call this "near" to the United Center, but if you are driving it's an easy distance.

Night out
On the Randolph St. strip two good new choices are Toque, 1/2 block west of Halsted and Blackbird about two blocks east of Halsted.

Decent food though- a good salmon appetizer, and an excellent quail appetizer. They wouldn't let us vary the menu, which suggests alot of pre-prep. 2 1/2, maybe 3 stars. trent
