Bari Foods

"West Town’s charming Italian American deli and grocer is rightly celebrated for its juicy Italian beef, as well as a stellar lineup of subs. Favorites include the Italian, piled with capicolla (that’s “gabagool” to Tony Soprano), Genova salami, mortadella, provolone, and the shop’s own hot or mild giard. Subs are available in 9-inch, 12-inch, or 3-foot portions." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Bari comes from the same mold as J.P. Graziano’s in that it’s also a small, family-run Italian market serving up delicious sandwiches. It's right on on the border of West Town and River West, and has been around for over 40 years. In addition to cold subs, there are a few hot sandwiches. Opt for a 3-foot sub and feed your friends, or, just eat a 3-foot sub." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Peruse the aisles for Italian goods at this grocer and deli and then head to the back of the store for a bite. The Italian sub is a favorite, while the beef sandwich is a contender for the best version in town. The tender, thick-cut meat is further improved with the addition of extra-spicy giardiniera. The meatballs are also top notch. Grab some to go for an easy weekday dinner." - Eater Staff

"The beloved Italian deli and grocer in West Town is renowned for its selection of subs, but don’t miss the Italian beef. The meat is tender, juicy, thick-cut, and served on a roll that stands up to its beefiness. Get it with the extremely hot house giardiniera for a kick that’ll humble even the most seasoned spice fanatics. Place online orders here." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
