50 Best Italian Restaurants near Evergreen Park

“I had ordered the sausage & Italian beef slices with fries and I had a great conversation with the man up front while I waited. I was satisfied with the slices I received and the fresh fries that were made from me. Overall great experience?.“

“These guys have been on my list for a while and it was worth the wait. THIS IS PIZZA. Bridgeport phils still has my heart but this place just bumped into the 2/3 spot for me. TOP 3 Chicago pizzeria.

Crust: this is what did it for me. The crust was a perfect thickness and kept its structure/ crisp throughout the whole pizza

Sauce: they’re cooking down their own sauce I believe. It’s got a touch of that fresh tomato sweetness. Nothing over powering, just a great classic sauce

Sausage/cheese: high quality Battaglia products. Traditional cheese blend and good sausage. Nothing crazy in this category but definitely brings their pizza together

DONT SLEEP ON ROSANGELAS!“

“On August 1 at about 7pm I entered Barraco’s. I stood for about 5 to 8 minutes waiting for a hosts to come greet me and my family to be seated. I had my husband walk over to the bar to ask for a host to seat us. While waiting two other people came in and we all stood for another 5 to 8 minutes waiting on a host to arrive. Once the host came and seated us our waiter Joe took over from there. Joe took drink orders, appetizer, and food orders. For drinks I order the pomegranate martini which was OUTSTANDING. For an appetizer we ordered the oysters, Rockefeller they were average. Seemed undercooked because not all the spinach was cooked all the way. For entree we ordered a large pizza half cheese half pepperoni sausage bell peppers onions and mushrooms. After getting the appetizer Joe never returned to ask us how it was and if we needed anything. I had to stop another waiter to ask for napkins. When he finally did come back I made him aware and he said he was servicing 5 other tables. Joe began to set the table and almost dropped the pizza holder and crush peppers on me. When the pizza came out it was wrong he served us a whole pizza with pepperoni sausage bell peppers etc. it was a bummer for my family because I have a 7 year and a one year old. Who didn’t eat that. He apologized but didn’t rectify the issue. It was pass 8 pm now and my family was unsatisfied and I watched as my kids basically threw the slices away by picking off everything. Joe was very apologetic and gave us oysters to go but at 9 pm what can oysters do for my family but sit in the refrigerator. I love this pizza place. I may stick to carry out. For this to be my first experience and I told my husband I wanted to dine in to see the ambience from the inside I was highly disappointed.“

“This place is beautiful amazing as soon as you walk in you smell the deliciousness definitely recommend this place for Italian food
The service was horrible with our waitress she forgot a plate forgot brought the bread after the pasta, arrived forgot the cup of lemonade for my kid, the food took longer than expected to arrive luckily we ordered appetizers I normally don't ever complain but she was bad very upset but we still tipped her and the supervisor or manager gave us a plate to go, bread and a free sangria their sangria is amazing too! Parking was ok bathroom was clean the bus boys served us better thn our actual waitress to the point that the table next to us even noticed how they took a while for our food we were there way before everyone else and were served last but anyway we found a good waiter that when we return we will ask for Pepe he is amazing and helped too so shout out to Pepe and the busboys there they were amazing
Definitely check this place out!!! Everything was 5 stars but our waitress ohhh their bruschettas were delicious too!!“

“an instant superstar in this community, people will come from near and far for this quality of Italian.“

“Its been decades since I had a breaded steak sandwich. To give you perspective, last time I had a breaded steak sandwich was in early 1990s when there was a Ricobenes on Lake Street in The Loop, at street level, downstairs from a Nevada Bob’s. If you know about this, then you are Gen X!!

This place was recommended by a close friend and it was fantastic!!! It’s a solid 4.6⭐️s!!

From what I recall, this breaded steak sandwich is just about as tasty as I have had since Ricobenes. Tony’s is excellent and messy as I have expected. Its very filling and well worth the price.

Also tried their italian beef, which was very good indeed. Balanced spices and saltiness was all there!!! But I do have my favorites that I lean on when I really need a fixin!!! But this was very good nonetheless.

This neighborhood joint is small and has limited seating, but the friendly staff made the dine-in meal a pleasant experience, albeit a bit confined. Most patrons order take-away. Will try to make it out again next time I am in the Midway area.“

“We see why the Chicken Parm Pannino is a favorite! Great sandwich served with thin cut crispy fries. Left full and yet wanting more! 😋“

“Best restaurant in Chicago ! ❤️“

“This neighborhood gem in Bridgeport was top notch on everything I've tasted here. Excellent food, excellent service and nice atmosphere. The flavor was just decadent. We started with some awesome Stuffed Clams. For the entrees we had Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmigiano, Chicken Rositto with spinach. A beautiful meal was complete with desserts of Tiramasu, Gelato and Flour less Chocolate Cake. The experience ended with me in a totally blissful food coma. Thank you 😊 Gios!“

“Love this new for me tasty omg takecare uslike a VIP excellent service quality and oldiest place wonderful“

“We were there Saturday for the Roman experience! Not bad there we’re 4 of us. We were celebrating a birthday! Spend $400.00 and you would think they would acknowledge the birthday! No not at all ! No acknowledgment all!!! But I have to say they did say happy birthday!! When we leaving!! What would it cost the restaurant to send a piece of cake over! Maybe 5.00 after we spent 400.00 No more celebration there I tell you!“

“Had Rocco's special, grilled sausage with Melrose peppers and a chilled salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and olives. Oh so good.“

“This is absolutely the best Italian Restaurant in all of Chicago area. Maybe in the USA.
We got the veal parmigiana and their famous pizza. The pizza was absolutely the best I ever had. The crust was perfect. The sauce perfect. The cheese fresh and tasty. The have a secret herb and spice. I don’t know what it is but it creates the best pizza I ever ate. The veal was so good served with homemade spaghetti. The sauce was magical. Nice atmosphere, quick service.
What a wonderful dinner.
Thank you Ben! Your grandpa would be proud that you continued the excellent dinners he created years ago. This place should be on everyone’s bucket list.
World’s best Tiramisu too.“

Yet my husband was in there for 7 minutes. Soups are not listed on online menu. Aka..DD.onion rings..mediocre...no crackers with soup and chili. Beef great..pepper sandwich..good. needs garlic..olive oil..burn then a tad.“

“Their pizza is delicious. My family loves pizza. We have tried many is the surrounding area and nothing compares to Guardi's. It has become a staple for take out in my house. Their service is great (I have never arrived and had to wait for my order) and the employees have always been extremely friendly and sufficient. It's worth giving them a try.“

“We had a long layover at Midway and this was right by the gate we arrived at and we were hungry. I had the blackened tallgrass burger and my girlfriend had the fish and chips. My burger was cooked to perfection, thick and juicy. The fish and chips were excellent as well. Service was spot on, beers were ice cold and we really enjoyed our lunch. There are a few more places I wanted to try on that long layover, but I was already full ?“

“We have used Don Monacos for 2 graduation parties now and will use them again. The food is amazing, the owners are the kindest people and the amount of food you get for the price is unbeatable. I HIGHLY recommend Don Monacos for any party or get together.“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service!“

“Amazing staff, amazing food. 🤌“

“Asked for a slice of sausage pizza, one small order of fries, and grape crush soda. Paid and took to the restroom to wash my hands. Came out with two slices of pizza and two cans of grape soda. I was confused. Asked the register lady if she charged me for two and she said no they cut the slice in half and it comes with an extra can of pop. Was charged $14 bucks. Not what I ordered. Pizza and fries are fire tho. AC was on point.“

“Was there for a surprise birthday party. The chicken and beef was very good and the bartender made a fantastic Old Fashion!

Parking: Parking was a little ambiguous....there is a banquet hall next door with a parking lot between them and Barraco's. The lot isn't marked as to which establishment the parking is for. I parked on a side street.“

“This has become the go to place after events/celebrations such as graduation or band concerts. The pizza is delicious and the family is always so welcoming!“

“Great pizza at a great price“

“Great food and atmosphere with fast and friendly service 👍🏻 oh and the best brownies 😋“
