Ricobene's Proudly Serving Chicago Since 1946 ! We Ship Nationwide on With all of our food made from scratch, it's easy to see that we value quality. Enjoy!

From our food to our service, we only serve the best. Declared the best sandwich in the world by USA Today, we invite to try our breaded steak sandwich. A colossal slab of breaded steak, a mound of gooey mozzarella, a sprinkle of biting giardiniera, all resting on piping hot French bread. It’s the sort of thing that warms the heart and slows it down all at the same time. We also offer pizza: deep dish, thin, and pan, wings, Chicago-style hot dogs, and more.

Meet some of the people that keep Ricobene's cooking!

Our anniversary Mondays were busy, and our crew stepped up. From prepping and cooking to taking orders and cleaning up and so much more.

To our entire team, including everyone not pictured: Thank you for the hard work and the care you show our customers every day. We see your effort, we appreciate you, and we're proud to work alongside you.

Chicago, help us show some love to our awesome crew!

We're open as usual. Come hungry.

WE’RE NOT CLOSING, CHICAGO! 😬🤦‍♂️

We tried to write a heartfelt thank you for our 80th anniversary and accidentally made it sound like the breaded steak was retiring.

That one’s on us. Apparently we should stick to making sandwiches.

Only the four anniversary Monday specials have ended. Ricobene’s is OPEN AS USUAL, and your favorites are still here.

We got a little emotional because your support meant so much to our family. Eighty years will do that to you.

We love you, Chicago. Sorry for the accidental Halloween scare. 👻🎃

Now come get a sandwich. We’ve clearly been left alone with the keyboard too long.

WE’RE NOT CLOSING! We’re open as usual. Only our anniversary Monday specials have ended. This is a thank you, not a goodbye!

Chicago, how do you say thank you for 80 years?

We've been trying to find the words.

When Rosario and Antonia Ricobene opened our doors in 1946, they couldn't have known all the people who would walk through them. The families. The friendships. The generations who would grow up with Ricobene's as part of their lives.

Eighty years later, we get to see what they started, and what all of you have helped it become.

A place someone remembers coming to with their dad.
A stop they make whenever they're back home.
A sandwich they insist a friend has to try.
A tradition they now share with their own children.

To know that our family's business holds a place in your family's memories is something we will never take for granted.

This anniversary, you showed up in a way that left us overwhelmed with gratitude. You stood in line. You brought people you love. You shared our posts, told us your stories and celebrated right alongside us.

We know some of you waited longer than you expected. Thank you for the patience, kindness and understanding you showed our team. Being able to serve everyone who came out for our final anniversary Monday meant so much to us.

And to our employees: you deserve so much of the love that came through those doors. You prepared, worked together and kept the food coming so there was enough for everyone. This celebration belongs to you, too.

We've been thinking about the generations before us, the people whose work made these 80 years possible, and the loved ones we wish could have been here to see this. We carry them with us. In the food, in the stories and in the way we try to take care of the place they built.

Chicago has been our home for 80 years. We've grown up here, raised our families here and made a living doing something we love, surrounded by people who have given us every reason to keep going.

Being part of your lives is an honor. Truly.

The anniversary specials may be over, but we'll still be here, opening the doors, getting the kitchen ready and looking forward to seeing you.

From our family to yours: Thank you so much for the 80 years of memories, traditions and love.

With love and gratitude,

The Ricobene Family
