About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
Il Porcellino, located in the heart of River North in downtown Chicago, is a neighborhood restaurant offering classic Italian-American comfort food in a casual setting. Our seasonal menu focuses on housemate pastas, vegetable antipasti and daily specials, all crafted with ingredients sourced from quality artisans, purveyors, and local farmers. The fun and approachable wine program encourages sharing with selections primarily from Italy.

As a way to offset rising costs associated with the restaurant (food, beverage, labor, benefits, supplies), we have added a 3% surcharge to all checks. We do this in lieu of increased menu prices. You may request to have this taken off your check, should you choose.

    Just go, handmade ravioli with bolognese was amazing, grilled asparagus was prefect and pappardelle alla Porcellino so flavorful. The whole loaf garlic bread is a must. Shout out to Anna our server, knowledgeable about the wine pairings and she made sure we were well taken care of. Would go back!

    My friend and I came to have a nice dinner on the last day of our trip but we felt rushed as the waiter kept hovering around us during our meal in the way to get us to leave fast. Our reservation was at 8:45pm and the restaurant closes at 9:30pm and we would totally understand if their were only a few people still present at the restaurant and the employees wanting to close up for the night, but when looking around most of the tables and bar was still filled with people ever near the end of our meal which was around 9:45-9:55. The ambience was very nice though, but the food was overall mid imo.
