Best Romantic Restaurants in Portage Park

Everything about the meal was great. The food was delicious, the service was spot-on and the ambiance allowed for a night out without the fuss. The rotating menu makes prevents it from becoming dull or expected. I will definitely be returning.

Family birthday celebration dinner, really enjoyed our experience. Cocktails, our meals, service were all on point. Definitely will be back. Great buzz in the dining room - will be back without the kids to dine at the bar in the future for sure.

This is my second time going to Andros. Food, especially the lamb, is super tasty. Good atmosphere.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Artango, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff, setting the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance was perfect—elegant yet relaxed, with soft lighting and tasteful decor that made us feel both comfortable and special. Now, let’s talk about the steaks. Simply put, it was one of the best we ever had. Cooked to perfection, the exterior had a beautiful sear, while the inside was juicy and tender, just as we ordered. The flavors were rich, and the seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. Paired with a side of asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a glass of full-bodied red wine, it was a meal that left us savoring every bite. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. If you're looking for a place that offers both exceptional food and outstanding service, Artango is a must-visit. We can't wait to return for another incredible meal.

We had a magical first experience at Mano a Mano. We were looking for a date night spot within walking distance of City Lit, where we were headed afterward for an event on a very cold evening. What a wonderful surprise! From the moment we walked in to the warm, inviting room, to our kind and helpful server, to the tasty wine served in carafes, to the welcome bread service (a lost art and such a rarity these days), to the excellent but non-obtrusive soundtrack, to the delicious food (special props to the salads, which are thoughtful parts of the menu), to the sweet one-bite gelato treat for a special occasion we were celebrating, everything was first rate. The pasta isn't cheap, but it's all handmade and thoughtfully prepared, and given the generous portion of other aspects of the menu (did I mention bread service?! still thinking about that Calabrian chili butter), it's hard to fault the value. Honestly, this was an unforgettable meal for us and we can't wait to go back.
