- AAngelaChicago / Illinois •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Jess was the sweetest and most knowledgeable server, who made us feel relaxed and comfortable, and suggested an amazing bottle of wine to pair perfectly with our dishes.

- KKellyVIPChicago / Illinois •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLove Pizzeria Portofino's riverfront location & we were seated on the enclosed "patio" which was very nice but a little chilly. Also a bit loud. But the cocktails & food more than made up for that. I highly recommend the limoncello spritz - it's amazing! We had charred pepperoni pizza, vodka pasta pasta, octopus & arugula salad. All were good but the pizza was the star of our meal. Our server was excellent. We'll be back without a doubt.More infoPizzeria PortofinoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.8
