Chef Ciccio Beef-Balls-Beer

If you are in Navy Pier and want some delicious food...come get some Beef, Balls or Beer. Hehe well it's in the name but I actually loved the Chicken Parmsean Sandwich. That sando was very flavourful and satisfying. This place also has a wonderful Italian Beef sandwich, where everything is made fresh to include a 12 hour au jus. Definitely get that baby wet (soaked in au jus) if you are going to be eating immediately. The potatoes fingerlings were also seasoned well. All I can say is that the food and service here is superb. Everyone working here is friendly and enjoys serving quality food. The Ciccio restaurant is from the kitchen of Mario Ferraro, who is a second generation Chicagoland restaurantenur. The menu offers something for everyone to include chicken, beef, pork, sautéed veggies. Additional a wide range of beer, cocktails, wine and seltzer. On this occasion I got $5 High Noon. It was just what I needed to wash down my sandwich meander on the pier.

Heard a few good things about their beef, so I knew once the weather started to cooperate, I would pay Navy Pier a visit to their Chef Ciccios version. The crew here was amazing. Very welcoming, great attitude. You know that same passion carries over when they're making their food. My son and I both ordered a beef. He ordered his wet and I ordered mine dunked. He puts the beef in the container and the pours the gravy on top of the beef as well as inside the container, so your beef is literally swimming in that delicious gravy. The sandwich itself was really good. The beef was perfect seasoned and they also add potatoes to the sandwich. Something I've never had before on a beef but would definitely order it again this way. The only tiny issue I had, was that it was a tad bit salty, but overall a pretty decently made sandwich. Can definitely see myself ordering this again, next time we take the kiddos to Navy Pier.

had the pleasure of trying the italian beef here and WOW! super flavourful and fresh. i wish i would have ordered more because it truly was THAT good. i was a fool to think that all italian beef's were made equal. made the mistake of trying to relive the epic moment of chef ciccio's italian beef in an italian beef at one of the more well known spots, it rhymes with smortillo's, and was left very, VERY underwhelmed. chef ciccio's italian beef blows it out. of. the. water. the beef and jus were seasoned exceptionally well. the giardiniera peppers were flippin' SPICY and crunchy and delicious. the BREAD! stood up to the jus, it didn't fall apart or get overly soggy. THIS!! THIS is the italian beef i will come back for!! if you like well seasoned, EXCEPTIONAL food, chef ciccio's is where you want to get your italian beef from. *chefs kiss!*

I loved talking to the owners ever more than the actual sandwich! And the Caprese sandwich was amazing!! The pesto and olive oil were so fresh and they were so accommodating and caring- gave us samples to try before purchasing. A solid meal option for a night in navy pier!

Highly recommend this delicious Italian Beef Sandwich located all the way down the hallway corridor at Navy Pier!We ordered the classic Italian beef sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! It definitely rivaled the best of the best Italian sandwiches that we've had in Chicago.It is on the pricier side, but that is due to the prime location at Navy Pier. The sandwich itself was $13, but all of the add ons costed extra, for example the onions were + $1 and the peppers were + $1, and so our sandwich ended up being $16-$17 in total at the end.

Came by on Sunday and gee whiz Navy Pier was packed. Ordered the Italian beef and it did not disappoint. The bread is so fresh!! Freshest bread I've ever had for an Italian beef. It was like French baguette bread. Fingerling potatoes were on this Italian beef too . Might have been different potato variety. The meat was tender, juicy, delicious. It's in a metal tray so you can re dip the sandwich in juices as you go along or drink the gravy afterwards.

The Italian beef was AMAZING!!! Gus was the best! He was so welcoming and friendly making sure we were well taken care of, best service I've had in a long time. Will be returning in the future for more delicious food!

This place has the Italian beef sandwich in Chicago! And the meatball sandwich for our kids was to die for. Everything is delicious. Super friendly service. These guys are great. Consider yourself lucky if you end up here.

Amazing!! Best Italian beef ever, it's a must get. Such great, friendly, authentic people. Bread that holds up to the sandwich, makes a huge difference. Worth the flight from San Francisco on its own.

This place is great! In the food court so had to search a bit but worth the hunt. The food is plentiful and delicious!
