Went here for an anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service! Beatrice made us feel special on our night out and comped us some dessert when the chocolate cake we had our hearts set on was out of stock. The food is always tasty with generous portions- highly recommend the meatballs! Great place for a date night.

We visited il Porcellino during our first trip to Chicago, and it did not disappoint! Great old-school Italian vibes with hearty red-sauce dishes. Our waitress was very professional and attentive. 10/10 — highly recommend.

This place always surprises me! The food and service only gets better and better every time! It's my go to spot when I'm in Chicago!
Brittany
The vibe and atmosphere was great! The food was Amazing! You have to get the Tuscan Cheese breadsticks to start along with the caesar salad. For your main course you have to get the lasagna! It was the best!! This place is definitely a 10/10! The next time I fly in from Atlanta this place will definitely be on my list again.

Excellent food, great service, and lively atmosphere makes for a fantastic culinary experience! Love the eggplant parm and the gnocchi bolognese but the icing on the cake is the chocolate cake!!!
Richard

Best garlic bread and vodka pasta ever, must go! The lasagna was too soft but delicous as well
Alyssa
We got the cheese bread which was delicious. Also ordered the vodka rigatoni and pesto fusilli with grilled chicken to eat family style and that was some of the best pasta I've had in my life I was stuffed but I could not stop eating it. Also had very crisp Diet Coke on tap and we got a free spumoni for my friends bday which was also pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of spumoni in general but my friend loved it. The server was really nice and went above and beyond to ask the young hostesses where we could go under 21 in the area. I will be back to Chicago and I will be coming back to this restaurant.

One of the best Italian spots I've been to in Chicago. Portions were gigantic and staff were very friendly. 10/10 would recommend this authentic Italian spot if you want a good value dining experience.
Jeniffer
Absolutely delicious food and great service!! We definitely recommend eating at iL Porcellino's. I ordered the Burrata lasagna, and OMG best lasagna I have ever had!!
I'm very picky about my red sauce. I had the pappardelle with a ragu of pork shoulder and prime beef. It was probably the best I've had in Chicago. My wife had the gnocchi bolognese and said it was excellent. The service was great and prices are cheap for a high end restaurant. We are definitely going back.
