BarTucci Homemade Italian Food is an absolute amazing ! Their chicken Vesuvio is hands down the best I’ve ever tasted – tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The Bruschetta was a delightful surprise, bursting with freshness and a harmonious blend of flavors that left me craving for more.

Very upset that I’ve lived in the neighborhood this long and haven’t tried this place out. Went here with my family Sunday at opening, staff right away took care of us, right away the floors were clean white as well as the wood tables. Jennifer our waitress came by to make sure we were filled up on drinks and bread. The bread is legit too, reminds me of growing up having it fresh every day. The staff was very understanding of my families dietary restrictions so they offered some veggie options for my family as well. I myself had the vodka rigatoni. First thing I’ll say is the noodles have a nice thickness to them which immediately told me these were made in house, a lot of times with pasta noodles they just take on whatever flavor profile is in the sauce, this was the first time in a long time both the pasta and the sauce had their own distinct flavor that complemented each other. The sauce wasn’t too creamy either it was just right for my liking.I also tried out the minestrone which comes in a large portion but wow is it packed with flavor. Safe to say I think my SO and I will be back soon to try out more options, but for our first time, wow this was exceptional!

Tucked away and hidden inside a strip mall in the Dunning neighborhood is one of Chicago’s best kept secrets. Homey, inviting, and down-to-earth, they serve up fresh pasta cooked at a perfect al dente, accompanied by immaculate sauces, impossibly tender meat that slips off the bone, and all supported by impeccable service. Prices are super reasonable too for the portions that you get. BarTucci’s quickly rised the ranks and has become one of my top 2 Italian restaurants. Go check this place out, you won’t leave disappointed or hungry. Don’t forget to pick up your favorite bottle of wine on the way as its BYOB.

We decided to try this place on a slow (for us) Saturday evening. We just moved to the area and still exploring… Let me tell you…this place is a hidden gem and i plan on being one of the “regulars” here. I am truly amazed how good the food was.

I had been here once before and loved it. Still a great place, but it’s pretty small and loud. Waited about 30mins for our table which we had a reservation for. It was hard to hear our server but the ordering went pretty smoothly. I would definitely go back for lunch, probably not dinner.

Wish I could rate the food. We made reservations for a large group through their website. Despite multiple email confirmations, when I called the night before just to confirm with a live person (I’m thorough like that), I was told they didn’t see a reservation for us. Really?! Do they not check the reservations made over their website? I was assured they would still accommodate us and that we were all set to go the following evening. I get a phone call from BarTucci that evening telling me they aren’t going to be open the next night. Say what??? To say I was beyond irritated is an understatement. I had to scramble to find a table for 8 in that neighborhood on Saturday night. Shame on BarTucci. Stuff happens, sure, but you need to get on top of your game. I see, perusing the reviews, that I’m not the only one this has happed to.

Our server Kyle was absolutely amazing! He attended to us for our every need; he was very flexible and informative when we asked questions on the menu. The vibe of the restaurant was a mix of comfortable and fancy, it gave it that homey feel while also being classical and modern. The restaurant was well-kept, very clean, and had delicious food! Even if we came late (9:00pm!) and the courses we wanted were sold out, the food that was provided was one of the best fresh Italian dishes I have ever had. You could definitely tell that the pasta, sauce, cheese, and meat was locally sourced and homemade from scratch. I could not get over the tiramisu either! Our server, Kyle, was telling us the story of the tiramisu and its recipe origins; which made it even more appealing and mouth watering! My family had a pleasurable experience that we will never forget! Definitely a must come for anyone in Chicago.

We visit here for most special occasions in my family. The food is always amazing and the service is wonderful! We usually specifically ask for Ace to be our server because he’s just so sweet and the manager (so sorry I don’t know your name!) is so funny and personable, they really make you feel like family and feed you like family too!
