Ricobene's: Chicago's Iconic Spot for Pizza and Breaded Steak Sandwiches

What an awesome old school Old Chicago feeling joint serving fresh Chicago classics as well as their unique and famous breaded steak sandwich. My buddy and I both got our own steak sandwiches, both with extra sauce, sweet and hot peppers. They were awesome -- an absolute mess to navigate with sauce and cheese and toppings spilling everywhere but 100% worth every bit of eating effort. Looking around, everyone around us was eating something different -- the Italian Beef, the pizza, everything looked awesome and I would love to come back and try everything!

The best place to get pizza in chicacgo, this is 3rd time I've gone back to get pizza. Honestly my favorite has to be the breaded steak pizza. Would recommend the pan pizza as well, especially if you want a slice to go, they have a dedicated line for by the slice.

Ricobene's is famous for their Breaded Steak Sandwiches, and they are extremely delicious. You have to try it! Thier other food is really good and tasty also,like their Italian Beefs and Pizza. Price point isn't bad, especially for the size. Service is good, it's typical order and pickup. This is a must try spot in Chicago........

After hearing so much about Ricobene’s as an essential Chicago restaurant, I finally made a point to stop in for dinner. Breaded Steak sandwich was massive and pretty tasty. Cheese fries were a little underwhelming. Although my heart can’t handle frequent visits here, I understand the appeal. A no frills joint serving good sandwiches.

Wow this place was like old Chicago. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered the cheese and sausage pizza slices. The cheese and sauce was delicious. We ordered the breaded steak sandwich with sweet and spicy peppers. It was so good. The steak was tender and the sauce on top of it was fantastic! I am sure the pasta dishes would be so amazing. I look forward to going again. And I highly recommend going! Oh and one the best parts is they have a parking lot across the street that is free parking!

I had a slice with breaded steak as the topping. The crust is thin and doesn't have much flavor, but there was plenty of sauce. I didn't try the cheese-only pizza and wonder if the sauce the put with the breaded steak is different, because it tasted more like a pasta sauce. It worked well on my slice, though. Nice amount of cheese with good flavor. Ricobene's is a walk-up counter service restaurant, with plenty of seating. One side for pizza, another side for sandwiches and other entrees. Free parking in their own lot, literally under the Dan Ryan overpasses across the street.

Fell in love with this place. We crave it all the time. The pan pizza might be the best I’ve had with a perfect buttery crust. The chicken vesuvio is a phenomenal sandwich. Quick and friendly service and great prices. Draft beer too. Free parking across the street. Place is worth the hype

It's been years maybe even decades since I visited this historic place. My lady had never been here so I wanted to turn her on to the breaded steak. It was just as I remembered and better because it was in front of me. We also had an eggplant sandwich which was delicious. The menu is abundant with all kinds of things to try and I'll have to come back a lot sooner to get in on other flavors like a chicken parmesan sandwich with bacon. On a side note, I forgot my sling bag and went somewhere else. Then when I went home looking for my keys I realized I left it behind. I called and sure enough if they had it. So on top of having a great meal they looked out for my belongings in a super crowded atmosphere with long lines of people waiting to get their orders in.
