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.

    I felt that our server was more attentive to other tables and seemed to overlook my girlfriend and me. A couple seated after us placed their order and received their food before we were even greeted again by our server following our initial appetizer order. Food was 🔥 this was my 7th time so I do know the acceptional service they have.

    Great food. Ordered grilled calamari, meatballs, ravioli with pesto and it was all great! Cannot recommend the mocha chip affogato enough.
