Serious EatsMay 28, 2013Serrano Ham Bocadillo: one of the simplest and cheapest items on the menu, but also one of the best. Toasted bread rubbed with tomato and topped with thinly sliced serrano and manchego cheese.
Chicago TribuneJune 26, 2012Barcito is an open-air, stand-up bar (there's some seating if you get lucky) with separate light bites (bocadillos and pintxos) and cocktail menus and blaring rock 'n' roll music. Great summer spot! Read more
Tasting TableFebruary 1, 2012Go early, grab a glass of beer or fino, and snack on San Sebastian-inspired pintxos like roasted vegetables with almond romesco and shrimp with picada, both served atop rounds of crusty bread.

Go early, grab a glass of Spanish beer or fino, and snack on San Sebastian-inspired pintxos. Read more
EaterApril 11, 2013The party never stops at Barcito where the loud and frenetic scene keeps things interesting. The Tippling Bros. cocktails flow from a tap system to keep guests hydrated.
Rachel KutaAugust 4, 2012So hang out at barcito and if u play your cards right u can meet chef Ryan... He will come by and make some personal recommendations...it's fab!
