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. Read more- Tasting TableFebruary 27, 2012The just-opened tapas bar adjacent to Tavernita is already bustling. 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!
thomas banksAugust 4, 2012Great vibe on Fridays. Music is great mix of rock, old hip hop, underground alternative and house.
To eat: Sobrassada, escalivada and steak tartare. To drink: Sherry, Antoni Gaudi and Cider.
KateApril 3, 2012You must try the Coctel de Sidra, made with rum, rosemary, grapes, honey, and cider
Time Out ChicagoMay 1, 2012Every other Monday from 8-10pm, a chef friend of Ryan Poli's goes behind the bar.
Michael WurmFebruary 17, 2012Try the Booty Collins and the Iberico Lardo!!!! Barcito is the place for Thursdays!!!!

"They have many bottles of wine (mostly sparkling wine) and a handful of half-bottles. I definitely recommend the Black Tiger Shrimp & the Duck BLTs. I would recommend against the Tempura Cheese Curds."
