The moment you walk through our door you know you are in for something special. The restaurant is filled with lively chatter and the delicious smell of pizza, freshly made for you in our wood-burning ovens. Colorful fiberglass orbs provide gentle light to dine by and our w**e selection stretches from floor to ceiling against our longest wall, providing you with myriad options from which to choose. Macello is a place where you will feel like a regular from your very first visit. A family-friendly fine dining restaurant, coming here you will find all of the comforts of a home-cooked meal without any of the mess. Since October of 2007, Macello has transported diners to another place and time. We specialize in Pugliese cuisine, inspired by the nostalgic reflections of our two owners, both with strong ties to this southern Italian region. Our menu takes advantage of many of the coastal region’s unique seafood and pasta dishes. Always traditionally-inspired and fresh, we strive to capture the Old World charm and authenticity in our West Loop restaurant. From the two wood-burning ovens kept fired to the finest ingredients, at Macello you will find a taste of the Adriatic like no other. Customers have come to expect the highest quality of ingredients, the simplicity of a perfect meal, the cozy unhurried professional service and the feeling of being surrounded by family and friends and we are happy to welcome them time and again.

Fun Fact Thursday: Schioppettino 🍷

Also known as Ribolla Nera, Schioppettino is one of Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s most distinctive native red grapes. Its name is thought to come from scoppiettare—“to crackle,” “pop,” or “burst”—possibly referring to the grape’s crunchy berries or the slight fizz once found in young w**es.

This expression from Bastianich delivers deep ruby color, wild berries, black cherry, plum, violet, to***co, spice, and the grape’s signature black-pepper character. Firm tannins and bright acidity give it structure, freshness, and excellent food-pairing potential.

Perfect with grilled meats, lamb, wild game, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.

Have you ever tasted Schioppettino?

🍕✨ Not your ordinary pizza.

Meet our Prosciutto & Burrata Pinsa — where Roman tradition meets a Pugliese touch.

Built on a light, airy, and crispy Roman-style pinsa crust, we start with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, then finish it with Prosciutto di Parma, fresh arugula, creamy burrata, sweet cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Every bite delivers the perfect balance of crispy, creamy, savory, and fresh flavors.

If you love burrata, this one is calling your name. 🇮🇹

Gather your friends, pour a glass of w**e, and experience one of Italy's best-kept secrets right here at Macello.
