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.

    This was our first time going there and it was pretty busy so I’m not sure if this is the cause but I feel like this restaurant is always busy so this shouldn’t have happened but our server wasn’t that nice or attentive. He barely spoke to us and when he did it sounded like with attitude. We had to wait long periods of time between things like getting a drink took over 15 minutes and idk if it was because he forgot to grab it or if they were behind. We did the lunch menu restaurant week and everything just took very long in between and we had to wait awhile to get boxes bc our server hadn’t stopped by and after he gave our boxes he disappeared. We didn’t know to pay was on the table so we were waiting xtra long for no reason. It was a bad first impression unfortunately

    We dined on the patio which was beautiful but also really cold. There are heaters but they did not warm the space as well.

    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.
