Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pizzeria Portofino shines with "exceptional food" and "amazing service," offering a romantic riverfront ambiance. Standout dishes include "mussels, ricotta and fig bruschetta" and "truffle pizza." While some note high noise levels and quick table turnover, the "friendly staff" and "beautiful views" make it a must-try in Chicago.

    We went after an afternoon play and it was so good. The hostess, Kimberly, is awesome and always greets me by name. The food is always good and the atmosphere is fun.

    Phenomenal experience at Portofino. Our server Lydia provided high quality service and was on point with refreshers and checking in on us. The atmosphere was very quiet and calming which made the experience amazing. Also, the cappuccino was the best I’ve had in a long time. Definitely will return and highly highly recommend to anyone.

    Without a doubt in my mind, the best dining experience I have personally had to date. Not only was the food astounding, but the service was next level. Far too frequently do I notice the lack of quality in our day to day society, but this experience truly gave me hope that quality is making a comeback. Keith was next level with his enthusiasm and overall knowledge regarding all of our comments. 11/10, making this place our exclusive special occasion establishment.

    It was very loud and busy for a Tuesday night. Made it a little difficult to converse at a client dinner, but the food and service were great.
