I stopped one evening with my little brother. He's friendly with one of the bartenders, so he likes to go and sit at the bar. He loves their pizza and said the beer selection is good too. We walked in during the bustling dinner rush and found the restaurant packed. The host greeted us warmly, and we found our way to the bar. The female bartender was there that my brother knows, so we sat down. I don't recall her name, but she was friendly and attentive. We both ordered blackened chicken caesar salads. The salads were pretty good. I honestly wasn't that crazy about the caesar dressing but it was edible. The salad and chicken were fresh though. Also, I didn't get sick, which is a plus considering the lettuce recalls lately. The portion size is generous as well. My brother had a beer flight too, which he always enjoys. The restaurant was crowded, but the bar area felt intimate. There were a lot of regulars around us, so people were familiar with each other. Everyone was friendly, which was cool. The environment was relaxed and comfortable. I'd definitely visit sometime in the future if the opportunity presented itself. read more

We had a wonderful time at Bartolini's today while in town. Their chicken dumpling soup was really good and their thin crust pizza was delicious. One member of our family had a calzone that they enjoyed and two others enjoyed their pasta with garlic bread. The owner came over and asked us about our visit and food towards the end. He was such a nice man. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area needing a good meal. read more

Bartolini's - This place is awesome (free WiFi), Great Deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

Everything about this place is fantastic! Waitstaff was attentive and very friendly. The owner came to our table twice to talk and make sure everything was great. The food was outstanding. The meatball pizza has become my all time favorite pizza. The Italian beef was one of the best I've had. read more

GREAT PLACE! Don't go as often as we should. Food is always superb and I have to say the staff is truly OUTSTANDING! We have had different servers and they all have been very friendly and accommodating. Their tiramisu is to die for, take it to go if you're too full, it's the BEST! Wish they had more parking but the food and atmosphere is worth the walk. read more

Bad first impression Ordered two different pizzas. One was correct, the other was lacking an ingredient. They remade the incorrect pizza while I waited 20 minutes with the correct pizza going ice cold. Good food but expensive. read more

We came all the way from California after seeing a TikTok video on the deep dish. The restaurant invited us to make reservations and here we are. When we walked in we were greeted by the kindest hostesses and the owner Chris immediately came to our table to welcome us. He was so kind and just a wonderful soul. We ordered the deep dish, an appetizer meatball and Chris complimented us with the BEST cheesecake ever. The food was AMAZING, the cheese the pull the SAUCE to DIE FOR! I highly recommend BARTOLINI. If I lived here I would be enjoying this restaurant weekly. Heavenly Father, continue to Bless Chris and his brother and this restaurant establishment. They are what is needed to help heal this broken world. May their business prosper and be a growing staple in their community. May they continue to be the light in this dark world. May you bless each family that enters this restaurant when they walk out they feel the love from each person that works there. I pray prosperity over BARTOLINI. In Jesus Name. Amen. Thank you so much. We will be back. read more

Good food, good service, friendly staff. We've been going here for decades. It's a decent place to sit down and have some food and drinks. Their craft beer menu is definitely well above average for the local restaurants. Nice neighborhood spot owned by locals. Not a chain. Would recommend. read more

The best Italian food I've had in the South suburbs . The place is clean and the decor is above par and the staff is welcoming and the owners are great.Try it you'll love it. read more

Bartolini Restaurant is a true gem that offers an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for a memorable meal. The menu is a delightful blend of Italian and American cuisine, featuring standout dishes like their famous meatball sandwiches, deep-dish pizza, and homemade dessert. I enjoyed the gumbo! No pork and adding a dash of pepper I loved it! For most it's spicy enough! My fries were hot and salad had anchovies!!! They have a burgers with an outside patio area and one arm bandits in the back! So if you bring your kids watch them. They can get busy but I likeD it when I can have a private party all to myself in the afternoon. The staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring that every guest feels valued and cared for. Whether you're enjoying a casual lunch or celebrating a special occasion, Bartolini's delivers with impeccable service and mouthwatering flavors. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction shines through in every bite. read more

Today, I stopped by this place that I have never tried before. With a little Yelp research, I discovered that one of the owners attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Reviews raved about the delicious meatballs. These were two very good reasons why I needed to stop in and try the food. As I pulled up to the almost completely full parking lot midday, I took this as a good sign. I enjoyed the flavorful chicken dumpling soup. Next up was a meatball sandwich which was good, but not great. There are plenty of good restaurants in the greater Chicago area that make delicious Italian style meatballs, like Calabria Imports in the Beverly neighborhood just a few miles away. The sandwich was good, but I guess I was expecting better. I also ordered the beer battered fried cod dinner which I thought was disappointing. I love cod when its fresh with a quick fry with a good batter and delicious fries. The fish was on the tasteless side, and the batter was only okay. The pieces looked like they were evenly cut into triangles like the factory sort you would find in a freezer section at your local grocery store. As for the fries, they were even more disappointing, just like the fish they were tasteless and cold. This should have been something very easy to prepare. Also, the tartar sauce didn't taste not freshly made. It was the sort you pull off of a shelf in a grocery store shelf, something I never buy. One place that comes to mind that does this right is the Gage restaurant on Michigan Avenue across from Millenium Park. I ended my meal with some in house made tiramisu which was okay. Will I come back? At this very moment I can't honestly say, because as they say, first impressions are the most lasting. read more

Nice bar! Next time we will get food but only have 30 mins til softball game starts. Wanted everyone to know there is a bar here. read more

Bartolini's - Breaded steak sandwich. - Pizza Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

The food is honestly amazing. I've tried quite a few things on the menu and haven't really been disappointed, but my absolute favorite has to be the Cobb salad with crispy chicken. So flavorful and always hits every time. Great family place read more

Friendly, good service, a little loud but great food. This is the place where you can bring your whole family and enjoy those special occasions. Just had my granddaughter's 21st birthday party there and saw her order her first legal drink. read more

I have been to bartolini several times but this recent time I was not impressed with the food. The pizza seemed to be very dry and the Caesar salad seemed like it was very wilted! I ordered a dinner salad but it seems like it was enough for just a side salad. Don't know if I will come back to this place. read more

Good food? Good service. The parking can bet difficult depending on how busy they. It has a nice south side Chicago feel to the building.

Love their friendly atmosphere! Met the owners! Pizza is tops! Veer nuggets are the best too! Cannot wait to go back for more to try!

My future wife, Wendy and I, believe this is the best pizza we ever had. You can't go wrong with the pepperoni!

Great service. Outstanding Italian food. Indoor/Outdoor seating options. Good old fashioned warm Italian Restaurant!

Not only are the meatballs..strawberry salad...soup..etc etc delish (def try the round guy app with the tomato basil sauce) BUT can we talk about the coleslaw!!!! Good god. The restaurant is amazing, staff is incredible, the seasonal Martin's are beyond fabulous and the food is delicious. Its a go to. But seriously...I took a pint of the slaw home. read more

Bartolini's - The best coleslaw I have ever had. - Pizza Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

I was close bye and I know the won the wgn pizza bracket so what heck lets order a pizza. I live Plainfield area so it was not easy driving home without opening the box for a taste test. It took about 1hour get home time dig in. I put a couple of slices in the air fryer for little bit I loved it everything was well portion on the other hand my wife gave it 3 1/2 I told her its a cruise so you lose little bit. In the end I would say you got to diffently got to stop here. read more

Soooo I did an incredible review some time ago. But when the food is this good? WTH I'll tell you again... been eating here since 1998 and NEVER had a bad meal. They serve everything except steak and lobster. But seriously, whether you want a Polish, burger, pizza or fresh pasta and fresh salad... it's here and it's GOOD read more

I have not been there for a while. My daughter went about a week ago. I know they have some of the best Italian food you can ever find and service is awesome and friendly. Love this restaurant. read more

Hands down the best pizza in the south suburbs. The sauce (gravy, as they call it) is perfect, full of flavor and not overly sweet like a bunch of other spots. I also highly recommend you try their bruschetta, they serve it with garlic bread that is FANTASTIC. Their new location is also really nice, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available within walking distance of the train station! read more

The boys don't mess around here! This has been a longstanding local favorite of ours, and we're here at least a few times a month. PERFECT bruschetta, generous portions of incredible pastas, meatballs that are nothing short of decadent, and even the fried chicken is exquisite--flavorful, crispy, and JUICY. He loves the steak sandwiches, and don't even get me started on the calzones, which are absolutely worth the wait (order‑ahead options available). Long ago, when they were just starting out, a waitress was so swamped she forgot to put in our order. It was getting close to closing time, and one of the owners noticed. He came out, was extremely apologetic, and had a rush put on our food. They made it to go and didn't charge us a dime. That was the moment I knew these guys were going to succeed. One of our absolute favorite places to eat, and their new location is just right--classy casual, modern, down‑to‑earth, yet somehow out of this world. read more

Excellent food as always including the best fried chicken in the Chicagoland area. The mini-meatball appetizer is to die for and the #5 Southside Irish beer is the best amber on tap around. The new digs are beautiful and the service is great. read more

Food and the service was fabulous! Tuesday special meatball sub was spot on!!! Wings and pizza by the slice were great also. Everything we ordered came out hot to the table. Chris came to our table twice since we were from out of town to check on us. Very clean restaurant. Definitely a place I would recommend and will revisit again! read more

Just a fantastic place to stop about one mile away from 294/57. Food is great...beer nuggets, meatball appetizer, pizza, pasta, paninis have all been family favorites. Service is great, well attended and the owner is always around chatting tables up. Prices may seem a little high but expect everything you get to be two meals and bring plenty of leftovers home. read more

My recent catering order was flawless, and the party guests loved the food! We went with 2 salads, pan of cheese lasagna, tray of mini meatballs, and fried chicken. The house made giardinara was the perfect touch! SOOO GOOOOD! Thanks Bartolini's! You knocked it out of the park! read more

really good, they do so many things well, very friendly staff, perfect pizza, fresh veggies, sauces, soup. also very reasonable, 5 dollar wine the day i was there and the the pizza sizes are big, read more

What can I say? Just another excellent dinner at Bartolini's... We started with the beer nuggets (of course), then ordered the meatball sandwich and the cod dinner, and topped the night off with the ice cream cookie sundae. Throw in a few drinks and it was a perfect meal. read more

Yesterday I went to dinner with my gf. We went to check out Bartolini's in Midlo. The food was out of this world! We had a appetizer platter with meatballs, cheese sticks, onion rings and chicken tenders. The platter was huge, lots of sauces and dips too. All the food was fresh and hot. So good! We both got paninis and they were also huge and so delish! The service was impressive too. Our waitress came over many times to check on us and was very helpful. In a time where most restaurants are giving smaller servings and charging more, this place has it right! Check it out, you will not be disappointed! read more

They have a great meatball sandwich. I love meatball sandwiches. I still live close to Ogden Avenue in grand Avenue It was all Italians around there. They made a great beef in that area too. They give you a choice of fries, potato chips, or coleslaw fries aren't that good the coleslaw was really good when my daughter gets back from New York. I will probably take her there for dinner. read more

It's been at least ten years since I've been to Bardolinos; they have since moved to a newly renovated location nearby. I ordered a Dewars White Label Scotch on the rocks with a lemon twist with just a little ice; the waitress returned in a few minutes with a glass overflowing with ice cubes spilling over the side. My sister ordered a Diet Coke; after a few minutes, I asked her if she would drink her drink, but she said it had an odd taste, so I tried it. It was way too sweet with a "metallic" taste. We waited a few minutes to order an appetizer. We chose the mini meatballs., I can't believe how many meatballs are in order; I'd say at least close to twenty with delicious marinara sauce and a good amount of Mozzarella on top (we both took home four home each}. I ordered the Meat Lasagna, which was huge. It was good except for the Marinara Sauce, which was too thick and pasty, with too much tomato paste, and nowhere near as good as the sauce with the Meatball Appetizer, which was right on the money. My sister ordered the Chicken Bruschetta, a chicken breast bruschetta on top, mashed potatoes, and a seasonal vegetable. My sister didn't care for it all; it was bland, and the potatoes looked like they came out of a box, not fluffy. We passed on the coffee and dessert. If I did go back, I would stick with the pizzas and Italian sandwiches. read more

Do I recommend Bartolini's?? of course the best tasting pizza in the south suburbs service is impeccable. I used to be a fan of Giordano's, but not anymore. Sausage and cheese is great. Spinach is great. Calzones are great and they'll customize your pizza for you and your cow if you don't like cheese you don't have to have cheese. read more

First timers! We were gifted a gift card from our neighbors & decided to try it out. Service & Food both amazing. Ambiance was great, not too loud where we couldn't hear one another speak. Will def be back!! read more
