Food was great service was good! And friendly! First time going to Lou’s in Evanston I’ve been to other ones, I know the pizza takes a long time, but the salad and wings took a long time to come out as well as appetizers so a bit slow but that’s the only complaint still worth the wait!

We had a great time! The food choices were not great. The restaurant wasn’t packed at all, but yet the servers made it abundantly clear that you only had 90 minutes to eat and get out. There weee a bunch of open tables yet they held to that policy. Big mistake if you as me

Love 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.

Pizza on Tuesday is half off at Moretti’s. That alone makes a worthwhile trip. But even at full price the food is excellent and outdone only by the service. One last thing…you HAVE to have the chips and dip. Both are made in house and the dip is NOT your typical onion dip. Believe me, it’s well worth it.
