    The 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. *****

    We 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!

    Tuscan cheese bread was amazing, Brussels sprouts were really good, and the short rib was great. Good cocktails too. Recommend.

    Il 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

    Big portions that will fill you up, but don’t expect the good, classic Italian cuisine

    I 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!

    Insalada mista is delicious. The signature pork dish, 'Il Porcellino' was addictive. Pastas are just ok.
