Best Wine Bars in South Loop

This was our second time going to il Porcellino for a date night and it somehow was even better than the first! All of the food is fantastic. Delicious wine and cocktails, awesome apps and great portions for the entrees. The cheesy bread, meatballs? burrata lasagna, and tiramisu were simply amazing. The service was also top notch. Would highly recommend!

Jose was an excellent server. Made great recommendations. Food was very good Charcuterie was perfect for 4, small caesar salad was shareable. Mushroom ravioli dish was very good as well. We had a great view looking out at Muddy Waters mural. Great for pre show dinner. And of course , the building is iconic Chicago history!

Excellent from start to finish. There is always room for another World Class Steakhouse in the Windy City. Located at the old Michael Jordan's location, this is a great place to meet and eat. We had tremendous service from entry to exit. Jose was our server and he was great. Drinks were precision made and enjoyable. The meat offerings range from top tier steaks to an delicious take on a Big Mac (a happy hour special). We tried two types of oysters (also a happy hour bargain) that were so good we ordered a second round (charcoal oysters should not be missed). All in all a great time at a great place.

First time there but I work down the street and will definitely be back. Everything was delicious and the ambience was great. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday so we wanted a nice restaurant in this area that wouldn’t break the bank. We thought it was reasonably priced for the Gold Coast.

A very quiet lunchtime on Presidents Day. I came for my favourite Fusilli. My first couple of bites were quite spicy (I don't recall it being as spicy on previous occasions) and I began to choke. Staff were very helpful, offered to replace with a less spicy version but I didn't like the thought of food being wasted. My cough settled down, I enjoyed the Fusilli as I always do (resolved to ask for less spicy next time). They brought me a second glass of wine on the house so that solved everything. This is a VERY CLASSY restaurant with tasty and interesting food. I come every year in February and always visit Acanto ....
