Always great visiting the neighborhoods of Childhood. If you're ever in Bridgeport or Little Italy area. Look up Ricobene's or Tufanos.. Ricobene's is absolutely my favorite Sandwich Shop in the area. Everything has always been great! And if you're looking for a great sit down family place? Tufanos is off Racine on Vernon Place, is the Best, Family Owned place, in Chicago. Either place, for what you get for your money, are hands down the Best. Always like visiting the areas I grew up in or around. A+ all things considered. Ricobene's I recommend the Breaded steak or chicken sandwich with hand cut fries. If you love Veal? Tufanos has a big selection, prepared many ways. But, whatever Italian food your looking for, they'll generally have it! Enjoy! And have fun there. I always make it a point to visit, when in the area!
If your looking for a good pizza place in Chicago, Rico benes is the place to go. I’ve been to many places to include LA, New York, and even Italy 🇮🇹. Out of all the places, Rico benes is the best! I stop in every Thursday and sundays and never regret coming. I also highly recommend trying out Their skirt stake sandwich!!! Awesome staff too!!
Tried this classic Chicago food gem for the first time after hearing about the legendary breaded steak sandwich.. and our expectations were definitely exceeded! The sandwich lives up to its popularity (i recommend adding cheese and hot peppers), extremely flavorful and hearty. The ribs were also delicious, well worth the wait. We also took home a sausage deep dish, which was the best deep dish i’ve had in the city so far. There is plenty of parking outside and seating inside, so if you’re thinking about stopping by, just do it!!
One of the best Chicago staples you’ve probably never heard of. A friend recommended this place to me, and I will be coming back for sure. Of course I had to get the breaded steak sandwich with sauce and cheese. I got the regular size with fries and a drink. That was plenty for just myself. The sandwich was excellent. I can’t wait to come back and try everything else they have (pizza, Italian beef/sausage, hotdog, pasta, wings, etc.) Honestly, everything looked great. There is plenty of parking. It is across the street from the restaurant. There’s people coming in and out constantly so a spot will eventually open up quickly if the lot is full. I really enjoyed my experience there and can’t wait to go back.
Loved the pizzas! Pizza is my favorite they had a lot to choose from! line moved quick workers are very efficient and nice! busy place it was late but they moved quick!! definitely coming back to try more of their different slicess
A chicago staple!
This is what I do…. I always take someone with and I order a King Breaded steak with green peppers and a King Vesuvio and one bag of fries. This way I get a half of each…. capisce?
Both sandwiches are delicious and HUGE.
Fries are fresh cut… soft with crispy ends and there are tons in the bag.
Restaurant is nostalgic and clean.
Atmosphere is nice, a mix of city workers, coppers, and Chicago natives with a speckle of tourists.
Staff is nice.
Parking is easy…. Right across the street and under the expressway.
Everything was awesome. Great food, service and prices. Breaded steak was delicious and very filling and solid fries as well. Best deal was the milkshake though. One of the best, super thick, very delicious and a great price. Couldn’t recommend more. Excited to try the wings and pizza next time.
the food is always good & delicious. i always order the beef sausage combo. Breaded Steak Sandwiches. i recommend it, the staff always friendly great customer service!.
My first time here and first time having a breaded steak sandwich. I have Invisalign and my teeth are a bit sore so I was sort of worried about having a steak sandwich. Omg it was BUTTER soft. The fries (which were superb btw) were harder on my teeth than the sandwich. It was so so yummy. I am rather depressed now that I know I have missed out on having these my whole life.
We had promised my mom to take her here over 15 years ago and we FINALLY made good on the promise. She said it was well worth the wait!

This place came highly recommended from friends, so we stopped in to give it a try. Ordered one slice of deep dish pizza, with mix of three cheese and spinach. Since they're known for their steak sandwiches, we ordered two king size "dry", so the sauce is one the side with a side of sweet peppers.
First, I would not call this Chicago style pizza, as I'm used to from Giordano's or Gino's, which were my expectations. Toppings and sauce are baked on top of the dough. Taste-wise it was okay. Light on flavor, not sure if not enough seasoning in the sauce, or what.
Next, the steak sandwiches were good. I don't know that I'd say the best I've ever had but certainly different. The meat was more like Milanese style, slices of beef dredged in breadcrumbs and fried. It's then folded into a sub with mozzarella cheese melted in the middle. The sauce that comes with it is marinara. You can order peppers on it or on the side, choice of jalapeño or sweet peppers.
As for customer service, this seemed to be hit or miss, depending on the staff member, as I observed them taking orders. The girl who ended up taking our order was efficient.
The restaurant is very spacious. Good for parties.

I was recommended by a couple of people at work to try this place for their famous breaded steak sandwich..
Since I live so far up north that driving to work is just an hour sometimes I wanted to know if it was worth taking the drive 20 mins more south to get just a sandwich.
So since yesterday was my birthday I decided to go after work and then just rush home with my food with the hear blasting and finally try it.
So I lost story short I walked to a crowded place which only meant the food must be amazing.
I was glad I placed an online order so I could just do the pick up line since the regular line was out the door.
The "pizza by the slice" line also existed and was half the size of the regular.
I was early by 10 mins for my estimated delivery time and it was busy so they asked me to come back in like 20 mins since I ordered a pizza etc.
I came back and picked up my order which was a large Breaded steak pizza, a king sized Breaded steak sandwich with chili cheese fries and mozzarella sticks.
I was surprised that the mozzarella sticks didn't have the traditional Italian seasoning breading (it was actually so delicious regardless 10/10)
The chili cheese fries looked different to my expectations as well but wow..
The flavor was definitely there.
I would have asked for extra cheese or maybe a side or gravy or something to throw on top.
But otherwise 9/10.
The sandwich was definitely great.
Just wish it was on garlic toast like I had originally ordered ...(it was probably because it was so busy)
But it was a 8/10
The pizza was great as well.
The sauce is pretty good and cheese as well.
It doesn't taste like generic flavors at other places.
8/10.
If it wasn't for the fact that it smelled like
PEE.. the whole time I was outside walking up to the place ...
and that i almost got hit twice as I was in my car.. "parked"
NOT MOVING.. ..
And then as I pulled out ..someone else almost hit me LMAO.
I would have had an amazing time.
But I would definitely like to try and dine in.
It looks like a great spot to bring some people so they can enjoy it as well!.
They have other things I would like to try so definitely will come back.
