Wow, we were pleasantly surprised to see how beautifully decorated by the pictures on the wall, string lights and full bar. The area also allows for a ton of natural sunlight.“

“I've been a long time fan dating back to when they were in Calumet city. I've used them for catering several times with great success. always enjoy stopping in to grab something to eat as well. I do miss the bone-in pork chop sandwich but I can understand how selling that might be a bit of a liability. LOL all in all, the place never disappoints“

The Reuben was to die for!! As was the beef sandwich. We also loved the fries. Thank you Jim for making the food for our 30th anniversary party . I would highly recommend using them for all of your catering needs. And if you are in Thorton, pick up lunch. You won’t regret it.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“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.“

“delicious pizza end fast services the best pizza.“

“At this very moment I am eating chicken tenders with honey mustard dip and fries from here and it is super good. I love their chicken tenders because they're not overly crispy or hard and the flavor is perfect. The honey mustard dip is really good. The fries also are cooked perfectly and they are perfectly salted.
The other day I had a cheeseburger from here along with their seasoned fries and again it was spot on. I really love this place. The service is great. Everyone I've had communication with here has been very nice. The prices are very reasonable for such good food. Cannot wait to try more of their menu items.“

“they are good but they never answer their phone.“

“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!“

“Great food decent prices will definitely be back!!♥️“

“This is a very very very veryyyyy special and cool spot. The service and food were incredible. The owner Martina is the coolest too....and she knows customers by name. They all love her too. Again amazing food and service... you gotta try it out.

“Just had my first experience at Ciao Bella, and was blown away by the delicious food! Best fettuccine alfredo I've ever had! The fresh baked bread is so yummy, house salad is fresh and delicious and filled with veggies! This is definitely our new favorite Italian restaurant!

Kid-friendliness: My kids ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and the cheese ravioli! They loved them both!“

“All the food was delicious!!! From the appetizers to the main courses to the dessert & cocktails….ALL Delicious well prepared food! I hope this place is around for many years to come. Very cute environment & service was 100! Def will be back!“

“I typically order unlimited minestrone soup & salad (minus cheese, dressing, croutons). If planning ahead I'll bring a small container with my own Italian dressing. They usually give my own lg salad bowl & are always very accommodating when I request that they add extra veggies such as pepperoncini, onions, tomato, etc to my lettuce since it's my meal. You can also order pasta with Marinara sauce.“

“Had my son’s communion party 20. Great service, great food, good portions! Will be back for sure. Our server Melissa was amazing, quick, and very attentive to everyone in my party.“

“We ordered delivery from this Barraco's location and it far exceeded expectations. Not only did it get here faster than the expected delivery window but the toppings were on point and done to a perfect level with just the right amount of char. The delivery was also incredibly friendly, 5-stars all around.“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“The tastiest pizza ever. Each bite was loaded with everything I asked for. Mickey and Fred Banks have this pizza thing all figured out. Markham location has a bar that always something going on so I sat for a drink enjoying karaoke till my pizza was ready“

“Food is always excellent!“

“No issues to report!“

“Great pizza all around!! All the ingredients taste fresh, and the pizza is always in perfect shape when you get the box in your hands. Crust is thin and extremely crispy(order it well done). They bring the pizza out to your car when you pick it up. Great service, great pizza.“

“I ordered a medium, thin crust, sausage pizza. The pizza was ready earlier than estimated. The pizza was delicious, hot, and perfectly flavored. The sausage had fennel seeds in it. The sauce was mild and light. The only negative is the size of the pizza. The medium serves 16 square/triangle slices. The medium looks like a small.

The cashier was friendly and courteous. A person in the back, I assume was the owner, was courteous.

Parking: The restaurant is in a small strip mall area, so the lot is shared with other businesses. The main street is busy, but additional parking could be located in the area.“

“The food here is delicious! The menu is huge. If you’re wanting something a little lighter you can opt for a yummy chicken chop salad. We ended up getting the Italian beef and the Ruben. Both are excellent. The Ruben is the best Ruben I have ever eaten in my entire life hands-down you must get! We also had a vanilla shake and the large sizes are ginormous . The food servings are very generous, everything is very shareable. They even have an area where you can grab a beer if you’d like. The restaurant has a large sitting area and there is a covered back patio. Service is excellent and the restaurant very clean. A great place to stop!“

“Can't believe I never reviewed this place. Food is always amazing. you can truly tell how fresh the ingredients are. They don't cut any corners staff is great.“

“Best pizza around. Been going there well over 35 years now and still just as good.“

“Pops never let's me down. They are consistent. Good quantity and quantity. I'm a borderline French fry addict and they rank pretty high on my top 10 list. Double grilled chicken, hot pepper mix,bag of salty smoking hot fries, I'm done“

“The pizza is a good based on the area competition n would recommend it great taste. Disappointed on the hot dog n beef special there is room for improvement and go to skyway dogs cuz that's the competition n example. Looking forward in trying other items on the menu. Good luck.“

“Best pizza in region“

“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.“

“GREAT pizza...period! Simple decor, nice people and service. One of Chicagoland areas best pizza carry out.“
