Rachetti’s Cafe & Pizzeria

The place is a dump very uncomfortable seating and there foods sucks staff ok low score food could have been better need to learn how to cook

Our experience was terrible last time but we still tried agin. This time was not much different. My husband ordered the beef calzone which was fine and I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with provolone cheese and the sweet potato fries. After well over an hour our food arrived. My fries were ice cold and my sandwhich was very wrong. It was a chicken sandwhich with feta and so much crushed red pepper it was completely inedible. It should have been chicken dipped in Buffalo sauce with mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion. I called to let them know and they commented that the buffalo chicken on the menu is different than the chicken sandwhich go buffalo. Really? Even if they thought I meant the buffalo chicken panini, that does not have crushed red pepper all over it. I asked for a new order which I received about 40 minutes later. The fries were warmer and tasted good, the sandwhich was almost right… it still had feta cheese on it and the slice of onion was huge and over ¼ inch thick. After this time, we are giving up on this place even though we really wanted to like it.

First time there I met Dan, the owner. Reading the menu was like taking the SAT. Way too many items on the menu. I ordered the Ribeye Steak Sandwich. As a former chef, I questioned Dan on the steak because the menu said Prime. He said it is not and it was a mistake on the menu. I didn’t like that the steak was cut into strips, but I discovered why. Dan is serving slices of leftover prime rib. His cooks are slicing it in strips, and cooking it again on the char broiler. Not a steak sandwich. Flavor wasn’t too bad, but it was difficult and messy to eat.
Second time I ordered a burger and fries. The burger had no flavor and the entire bun was soaked in grease, and more grease was dripping off the burger. I ordered it Medium and it was a little raw in the center and not seasoned. Onion slices were more than ¼-​inch thick. I asked for thinner sliced onions and got the same in return. Lettuce was from a bag of pre-​cut salad, and the tomato was paper thin on one end, and more than ¼-​inch think on the other end. If that wasn’t enough, the fries were undercooked, soggy and greasy. What a disappointment because I really want to like this place. I question their safe food handling skills at this point. This could be the result of an absentee owner, no training, no quality control, no consistency, and just basic poor management. Too bad.

Delicious! We had the Chicago deep dish pizza. Pricey and you have to be patient but well worth it!

If you ask me, it’s THE BEST pizza in Grundy County! Best staff in town! They opened an additional place in Jefferson Georgia and when I’m near Atlanta again, I’ll be there too!

Amazing food!!! The pizza was great! Very fresh ingredients! Panini sandwich with Turkey and artichoke was awesome! It would be nice if it was not just a bar though. I would really like if they would make this place a little less casual so we could dine in, don’t really like eating in the bar atmosphere. But it is nice and clean.

Horrible horrible service. The worst I’ve ever had. The waitress never checked on us, untill it was time to collect the bill. She was very rude, and seemed like she didn’t want to be there. The inside is kind of small, and the booths are weird to sit in. The pizza was just ok. I’ve had a lot better. As for any other fish there? I had the house burger and fries. My burger was under cooked, and the fries were lukewarm. It took about 45 mins for our food to come out, and we were the only ones in there. We kept asking about the food and we got «it’s coming soon.» The mozzarella sticks were really good, but everything else was bland. I will never go back here.

Ribeye Steak sandwich review… I hate doing this because the pizza was awesome but the steak sandwich sucked! It was sliced like strips of fajita meat. It says 8oz prime cut of Ribeye… Not sure what that means. This was not usda prime. If it was why would slice it? Look at the photo… Random pcs of steak with gobs of cheese and sautéed red onion (not caramelized onion which is dark slow cooked til the sugars caramelize). And there was no side of horseradish sauce as advertised. Took two bites and tossed out the car window… You can find it in the north side of 113 near Dogtown Rd. Recommendation to the cook caramelize the onions and use yellow, not red onions. Leave the steak whole. I wanted a steak sandwich not a fajita. And ease up on the cheese, or leave it off, so we can taste the meat. And don’t forget the side of horseradish. Then you will have a winner!
Thin crust pizza was fantastic and deserved 5 stars! That is the only reason I didn’t give one star on the steak sandwich.

Food arrived at the Fire Station with containers melted together, paper bag torn and inside of food. Salads were wrong. Delivery driver was great. Called and talked to some jerk who would resend the food but only comp us firefighters a total of $ 5 on an almost $ 60 order. This station will NEVER order from there again!

I really want to love this place but it’s just not there for me. This is my review based off of 2 visits, one for carry out, one for dine in. (I suggest carry out)
PROS– good food, large portions, prices are appropriate.
CONS– slow dine in service, music was too loud, dirty dishes
My first experience here was great, I called in a pizza for carry out on a Saturday night and was able to pick up within 20 – 25 mins, I am new to town so I ordered something that had a previous good review «Momma’s Homestyle Pizza». We got the 16 inch with 3 toppings for about $ 23, this pizza was HUGE and loaded with toppings and cheese! This one pizza could have easily fed 2 – 4 people! The crust was homemade, fresh! Defiantly not something frozen or packaged. I got home and weighed the pizza and it was a little over 5lbs!
My second visit was less than pleasant. My husband and I stopped in for dinner, because we wanted to try something else on the menu besides pizza. Our waitress seemed to have better things to do, and the other waitress was sitting at the bar eating, playing on her phone. We ordered the pepper jack mac-​n-​cheese bites for an appetizer, then both had the philly cheese steak sandwiches. The sandwiches were good, fries were good, sweet potato fries were good and my husband had a cup of chili and it was canned chili. It took maybe 25 mins or more for 2 sandwiches to come out. The music was turned up so loud we could barely talk, and this was on a Sunday night. Also, the booth is sat in was broken? Very uncomfortable and I had to sit either on the very inside or outside of the seat.
We will no longer come into eat, maybe sit at the bar and grab a beer while we wait for our carry out pizza.

BEST PIZZA IN THE AREA!!! Crisp crust, golden cheese, fresh ingredients. I’ve also tried several of their paninis and have never been disappointed; the Caprice is my favorite. We always order to go, so I can’t comment on the wait staff, however, they are always very friendly when we are picking our order up. For pick-​up they usually tell us 25 minutes and we’ve never waited more than 2 – 3 minutes longer for our order. The restaurant and the bar area both appear to be very clean.
I moved here from Chicago and have tried every Pizza place in this town & the neighboring towns and Rachetti’s is the only one I would recommend.

This is a great spot in Coal City on Broadway. The interior space is great with natural light coming in from outside. We like to go for lunch on occasion with our kids. The serving staff is super friendly. My only semi-​complaint is price — especially for the kids menus. It would be great to see promotions or specials on occasion — i.e. kids half-​off night once a week. That said, the food is great. Love the beef sandwich and pizza. We’ve even had catering for a birthday party which was also fantastic — LOVE, LOVE their chicken. All and all, great food, friendly service, but priced on the higher side of the spectrum… Again, maybe the owners could take a look at specials or occasional coupons for pizza. etc. Post the specials outside on a board? We’d like to dine here more often with our family and friends!

Boy, this is Good Pizza.
The wife wanted to stop here for dinner, so I obliged. This is your usual bar-​cum-​pizza /​pasta place, so it’s got a «bar-​ry» atmosphere.
With that said, the service was good, and the pizza was very good. If you order your pizza with everything like we did, be prepared for a loaded pizza — like every square inch was loaded.
The Italian sausage was very good, and the pepperoni was tasty as well. Add in the veggies and the snappy sauce, and you have a really good pizza.
Try it out.

GREAT FOOD — HORRIBLE WAIT TIME. I have been there several times, but I’ve stopped dining in and just order take out. The food never disappoints and I’ve tried too many things to list. The deep dish pizza is the best around. However, I’ve never been in and out of there in under 90 minutes. I don’t know what the problem is — but it is one of the slowest places I’ve been to.

Food was good.
Got the beer battered mozzarella sticks and chicago stuffed pizza.
Flies were highly annoying and nasty.
Server was nice. Would recommend.

i have dined here several times and would come back again and again. the pizza was chicago style and delicious! appetizers were great. we also catered from rachetti’s. salads were outstanding, as well as the italian sandwiches. a diamond in the rough and shining! go danny.

First time going in Rachettis. I had the Sicilian sandwich. It was very good although it was not «covered» in mozzarella like the menu read. Not a lot of meat but the bread was really good. Garlic butter and toasted. My friend had the Philly steak sandwich that was twice the size of my sandwich. It was very salty. The French onion soup tasted like Au jus and had red onions in it, tasty but not real French onion soup. I would love to show them how to make real soup. We had the canolis for dessert. They need to back off of the Hershys’ syrup. They were very good. Crunchy and sweet. The restaurant itself is very divey with country music on the juke box but the booths are big and comfy. A bit torn up though. Our server (Rachel) was very friendly and nice. She recommended the Palermo the next time I come in. Overall if you’re looking for a divey place with yummy food and friendly service, I would recommend Rachettis.

The wait staff was nice. Our waitress was nice and the restaurant itself was pleasant. The food was just not… that great. I found the portobello mushroom appetizer strange with the ground beef and bacon on the top of it. It was good with the cheese, but the meaty aftertaste didn’t quite match. The mac and cheese bites were awesome, though. My glass and silverware were dirty, but my waitress had no problem wiping the crusty whitish-​yellow stuff from the edge of my glass.
My pasta primavera was bizarre. The menu said it would have fresh garden vegetables topping it. I’ve just never seen black olives, peppers, and onions baked in cheese piled on top of plain, cooked noodles before. Without the overload of onions and peppers, the pasta itself was tasteless. The food that I had just seemed somewhat… lacking and almost experimental. From other reviews, it seems like the pizza and calzones are where the true taste is, so I’ll have to get something different if I come back.

Absolutely delicious! We had the burger with sweet potato fries and it was cooked exactly like we ordered them and were piping hot. Fries were good too. Veggies were fresh and crisp and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.
They have what seems like an extensive beer/​drink selection that I’ll have to come back for. The only negative thing I would say is the server didn’t ask what we wanted on our burgers. (you have over 30 items to choose from)
Finally, our bill was about $ 10 a piece with drinks. Not too shabby at all. We’ll be back!

They have moved to 375 S. Broadway in Coal City IL 60 416.
