Where To Eat On Valentine's Day In Crestwood: Readers Respond

ALSIP-CRESTWOOD — Valentine's Day will be here before you know it, but that doesn't mean you have to venture from Alsip-Crestwood to find a romantic spot to take your sweetie. We recently asked readers to weigh in on their favorite restaurants to take a date on Valentine's Day.

Barraco’s, 13445 S Cicero Ave, Crestwood

The chicken picatta and stuff shells were a reader fave. “It tastes amazing and there are always leftovers!”

Others remarked on Barraco’s friendly staff and their attention to customers:

“Before Covid and curbside pick up was a thing, I drove there to pick up a pizza but my son fell asleep. I didn’t want to wake him up (as most moms probably wouldn’t either) and I asked if they could take the payment over the phone and bring the pizza to my car. They were so nice and very accommodating to my particular situation and didn’t make me feel like a burden to them. Always go back just because of that!”

Louisa’s Pizza and Pasta, 14025 S Cicero Ave, Crestwood

Not only did this reader and her fiance fall in love with each other, the fell in love Louisa’s: “My fiancé and I go there all the time, we fell in love with it the first time we went there! Food and service is always amazing.”

Readers recommend the sausage pizza/meatball appetizer, "both are delicious!”

The Barrel Club, 4910 W. 111th St., Oak Lawn.
