About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    Food and ambience were excellent. I enjoyed the experience. The only negative I saw was that the lone hostess was stretched thin and had difficulty keeping up with patrons as they arrived. In her defense she appeared to be doing her best. Otherwise great experience!

    Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences in recent memory. Food (and drinks) as well as service were fantastic. Our server, Emily N, was terrific. We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and was so happy everything went so well. Thank you for such a wonderful evening!
