Il Porcellino – A Rare Gem in Chicago’s Italian Dining Scene

As someone who’s often left unimpressed by Chicago’s restaurant scene—where cost often overshadows quality, freshness, and portion size—Il Porcellino stands out as a true exception. It is one of the very few Italian restaurants in the city that gets all three elements right: exceptional food quality, genuine homemade freshness, and generous portions.

The dishes here reflect an authentic Italian spirit, with rich flavors that feel both elevated and comforting. From the pasta to the sauces, everything tastes thoughtfully crafted and made with care.

The ambiance is another highlight—warm, calming, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you instantly relax, whether you're on a date night or having dinner with friends. The interior design complements the dining experience perfectly, making you want to linger a bit longer.

Service is equally outstanding. A special shoutout to Dan, whose professionalism and attention to detail made our experience even more memorable. His customer-focused approach truly elevated the evening.

Out of all the Italian spots I’ve tried in Chicago, Il Porcellino is one of only two I’d confidently give a 5-star rating based on my personal tastes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-rounded, quality-driven Italian dining experience.

This place has some of the best Italian food in the city! The pasta is absolutely delicious and the chocolate cake is to die for. I was super surprised to see. They have a pretty nice happy hour menu as well! Parking is not easy, and it can get pretty crowded, but this place is definitely worth it.

Went Sunday night. Partner had the special short rib. His dish was 5 stars. My dish was chicken marsala. It had 4 tiny mushrooms on it and the mashed potatoes were cold. I sent the potatoes back (my chicken was hot). It took about 10 minutes to get another set of mashed potatoes with a piping hot plate but these potatoes were the same temperature and at this point I was done with my chicken. The waiter (Dan) did a excellent job and I didn't blame him...he tried. The garlic loaf was excellent and chocolate cake was rich, big and delicious. They did comp my meal and dessert so I would go back but probably order the lasagna (Dan did recommend that and I should of listened). So I give a 4.5 star for food and 5 for service. I would go back if in the area again.

This is a solid choice for straight forward Italian food in a city with many options. The atmosphere is inviting with bar seating for about 25. The dining area is inviting and the requisite Sinatra/Darin/Buble crooner tunes adds a nice touch without being too loud or over played.
The staff is welcoming and attentive. I got the Italian salad, but it was way over dressed. The bartender's suggestion of lasagna for the second course was a winner. It is likely in the top 5 of all lasagna I've ever had👍 Pricing was fair (not over priced) and the portions were large.

There are a number of pretentious Italian restaurants within walking distance. Unless that is your scene and authenticity is not important, this is a much better choice.

This is a lovely restaurant with friendly, courteous service and delicious food! Even the host at the front door was wonderful. While we waited in the bar, even though it was crowded, we were treated very well. The food, including the Burrata lasagna was wonderful. The calamari, cheese, bread, and garlic bread were also wonderful starters! I will definitely be back. The only reason the atmosphere got four stars was because it is a charming interior but very loud!
