    Pizza Portofino is one of my favorite spots in the city. The garlic bread and truffle pizza (request hot honey, trust me) are GAME CHANGER. I went with a few friends and we all agreed that they both redefined garlic bread and pizza (at least in Illinois) respectively. Great service and great vibes!

    My wife and went there to celebrate our 60th birthdays. I let them know it was a special event when I made the res and they made sure to say happy birthday, the menu said Happy 60th Birthday, there was a card the staff signed and they also brought us complimentary desert with a birthday candle. Amazing staff, great food and drinks and an awesome environment. They nailed it!

    Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.
