Linda HallbergAugust 4, 2018The lemon chicken and donut dessert both very good. The sound system and the music better than any restaurant I have ever been to. I’ve been back 4 times in the last 12 months. *****
Nena PeplowMarch 17, 2017We celebrated our son's engagement here and the staff went out of of their way to make the evening so special. The food, drinks, appetizers and dessert were fabulous. We were treated like family!
DrewskiMay 11, 2017Tuscan cheese bread was amazing, Brussels sprouts were really good, and the short rib was great. Good cocktails too. Recommend.- Kevin M.

Staff is great. Enjoy!
- Chicago TribuneNovember 7, 2017Il Porcellino in River North is justifiably popular for its pastas, especially the feather-light dumplings that go into the menu's gnocchi Bolognese. Read more
Very awesome Italian food! Cacio e Pepe was very good.
Cyndie CarlsonSeptember 17, 2016Lots of good tastes here! Meatballs, Stuffed Mushrooms & Salmon to name a few!!
E. T.October 10, 2017Big portions that will fill you up, but don’t expect the good, classic Italian cuisine
- Julianne OlivieriMay 8, 2018I got the gnocchi here- it was really good! Pretty expensive place though, and they hide any deals they have (we found them though 😊). Great wine- go to their happy hour!
Shelley JMay 12, 2016Insalada mista is delicious. The signature pork dish, 'Il Porcellino' was addictive. Pastas are just ok.
