Haven't had a breaded steak sandwich in over fifteen years. One of my coworkers had grabbed one for breakfast. That started my craving. Had no idea they opened at 9a. Pretty convenient when working ten minutes away. This Italian, family owned restaurant has added quite a few menu items since my last visit. I kept it simple and ordered the small steak with sweet peppers and an extra side of red sauce. Pretty good, every bite bringing back a memory.

Ricobene's is considered a Chicago institution, serving up Italian fare since the late '40s.They are famously known for their breaded steak sandwiches, but they also have Italian sandwiches, thin, pan, and deep dishes, hot dogs, char-broiled hot dogs, pastas, BBQ, wings, and apps/sides.You go up to any of the cashiers and place your order; you'll receive a receipt with a number and just wait until they call out for you.I ordered:+a regular-sized Breaded Steak - topped and dressed in red gravy; I customized this to be on a garlic bread instead of their usual Tuscano French bread; added shredded mozzarella cheese and topped with giardiniera +chili cheese friesThe breaded steak sandwich was massive, even for a 'regular' size, and this can easily feed 2-3 people. Definitely stacked and very generous in terms of the breaded steak and the cheese; I wished that they had added more giardiniera, as there were only like 2-3 diced peppers that I could find. The red gravy was more on the sweeter side, but, again, I liked how 'saucy' the sandwich was.The chili cheese fries, in which others have raved about, were just okay; while it contained a lot of beans (which I liked), I feel that there should be more and better cheese sauce that comes with; fries didn't seem freshly made and were not piping hot, and they were already soggy when received.There is a good number of tables inside to dine-in, but I saw a lot of orders to go.I'd be curious to try out their pizzas next time.There's a lot across from the restaurant for free parking, which makes it super convenient; just getting out makes you do a loop and go around the back to a local side street.+plenty of seating inside+free parking lot across the street

Having lived here and visiting multiple times after leaving, hard to believe I'm just visiting this Southside spot that's been around since 1945- better late than never.Busy around 7:30 Saturday night. Ordered for pickup. I shared with the kind Lady who took my order it was my first time -so how do the locals order the sandwich that made this place famous? The King size Breaded Steak Sandwich. Add Mozzarella and Hots on the side-ok!Huge sandwich and enough for two and maybe 3. Tasty Breaded steak smothered with tomato sauce and agree mozzarella took it over the top. Just right crusty exterior/soft interior roll held up well to the Steak and everything else. Kind of like a Chicken Parm but with steak without the Parm-delicious! Hand cut fries were on point.There was a line at the pizza slices counter -next time. Friendly and upbeat people at the pickup area. Don't miss this Southside Gem!

Fast service and friendly staff. I recommend the breaded steak sandwich. Also try their dessert. You will not be disappointed. Can be loud here at times (depending on the time you go) but overall good dining experience. See you on the next visit!

I had been seeing the world famous Ricobene's arm-length sandwiches all over my FYP and I just had to try it. I've been living in Chicago for a long time, and I can't believe I've never been here before. I believe this place was even featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives but don't quote me on that. There's a free parking lot right across the street along with plenty of paid street parking. This isn't your typical sit-down restaurant, rather it's order from the counter, wait for your food, and then find a table yourself. The menu is extensive, and there is so much to choose from! I highly recommend you try their subs though. The decor is kinda typical for a pizza place, but they've added a few touches here and there. I spent a few minutes looking around all the photos they had on the walls and it's definitely entertaining. The two most recommended sandwiches were the Breaded Steak and the Vesuvio Italian Classic. The king size is HUGE, but can feed and fill-up two to three people easily. The sandwich is stuffed to the brim, so it can be slightly difficult to eat and it can get really messy. Grab lots of napkins! The Breaded Steak wasn't really all it's hyped up to be, but the Vesuvio was mouthwatering delicious. It was by far the favorite of the night. I don't recommend you get fries because it felt like I was eating oil straight out of the fryer. This was definitely an experience! Worth a try if you're in the area. Till next time!

Felt like I was inside an alternate Portillos. Ordered, went to wash hands, and the food was ready. We got the breaded steak sandwich and the vesuvio Italian classic. When they said the king size was 8" we thought it wouldn't be enough but were we wrong. This came out and was massive. The steak was nicely breaded and plentiful. Cheese melted all over and the bread not too soft. The vesuvio had a perfectly breaded chicken breast with the right amount of onions and tomatoes. It also came with mayo that tied everything together. Both sandwiches were massive and delicious. Not the cheapest but really fast and worth the visit.

We were in Chicago for a business trip, and this joint was recommended by our colleague who is a Chi-Towner. He said, Ricobene's is a South Side staple and a far cry from fine dining, but amazing at the same time. We had just completed a long trade show and needed some substance. My coworker ordered a slice of the deep-dish pizza, which she enjoyed. We were a little caught off guard by the crust which had a cornbread taste, but it was delicious, crunchy and not too soggy.I went with the HIGHLY RECOMMENDED breaded steak sandwich. It was super unhealthy, and super delicious, all at the same time (see picture). The show stealer were the fries, which taste fresh and had the perfect amount of grease, which we all loved.If you just want to grab something quick and you are NOT on a diet, this is your spot. The inside is very family friendly; we were amazed that it was so busy at 9pm on a Tuesday. They have a lot of family portraits hung throughout which was neat to see. Did I mention, they also serve beer.Parking across the street under the overpass also added to the ambience/experience. It is akin to somewhere the mob might bring someone before whacking them.This is a great local spot, I will be back!
