I hate to be the wet blanket here.... but I have to say, I love the pizza from bacino's. But I absolutely won't go there ever again. As the ex-boyfriend of a Bacino's employee I can say two things. One, they changed their last name to sound more Italian. Two, they bounce checks. To everyone. I watched my ex-girlfriend bounce no fewer than 4 checks from those guys... And I know, starting a restaurant is tough, and checks get bounced. But they own at least 3 maybe 4 restaurants in chicagoland (downtown, lincoln park, lagrange, and orland park) and they're making big bucks... but they still bounce checks to their employees. Again, GREAT PIZZA... but terrible owners. awful people.
