- PParkerChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoElina’s is always amazing! However towards the end of our meal we ended up having a ton of food left and they took it back to wrap it up for us and never gave it back. We had 2 days worth of food in there 😂. Oh well! Anyways, great meal. Will be returning of course.More infoElina'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• West Town•4.7

- BBarbaraWisconsin •69 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoLoved this restaurant. Food is delicious and good size portions. Wait staff friendly efficient and not intrusive. Have a Negroni coattail. Best around. Calamari bit salty but good and very generous portion. Very wide menu for all Italian food lovers. We shared entree after large calamari appetizer. Very graciously split dish for us Love the dining experience here.More infoPiccolo SognoPrice: Moderate• Italian• River West•4.7
- DDanielVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoHad a great experience backed by solid service (a server we had before, I believe her name was Visjna? She was fantastic) and hospitable management team who went out of their way to customized a menu header for my guests birthday. Consistent dishes as always. The special however (short rib mushroom sugo) I would recommend adding more salt. Being a fat-rich dish, the meat and sauce screamed for salt. The only callout I would point to is the underhanded 3.5% service charge on the check which instead of adding that towards the end, the restaurant should really just work this into their menu pricing.More infoPizzeria PortofinoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.8
