Our Story

For decades, Ricobene's has been feeding folks the kind of stick-to-the-ribs, succulent sustenance you can only find in Chicago. We started serving Italian flavors back in 1946, but in 1976, everything changed with our famous breaded steak sandwich: juicy steak, gooey mozzarella, and biting giardiniera on a fresh French bread roll. USA Today declared it the best sandwich in the world, and who are we to argue? We’ve also got wings and fries, pizzas, and more – all handcrafted. Come on by!
