    My all time favorite! No matter what you order you will be satisfied. Amazing service to go along with the great food. Drinks are just as good if not better than the food. My favorite is the espresso martini. The manager Tony always makes sure his guests are taken care of.

    Enjoyed our meal here! Cocktails were great, and we loved the calamari, zucchini chips and whitefish piccata. Staff was very friendly, and the service was super speedy. We will be back!

    LaBarra is a true gem, and my family’s go-to restaurant. The food is always delicious, service impeccable, pricing reasonable and ambience is top notch! Caesar Medlidis runs one of the best and most enjoyable restaurants in Chicagoland!

    We love LaBarra in Riverside. The food is delicious from the start with fantastic appetizers and wonderful entrees. The pizza is my favorite. You have to try their skinny deep dish. It’s a favorite in our house. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. A great local spot to meet friends, bring family, or even sit at the bar for a drink.

    Mushroom risotto shared as appetizer. Friends shared skinny deep dish pizza for first time and said they’d order again. Lasagna was very good. Husband has usual Russo Chicago thin crust pizza that he loves! Friend had chicken lemon which she enjoyed. Drinks were fantastic.
