    This was our first experience at Porto 31. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and very exuberant about giving recommendations. The menu provides some very unique options you don’t see in other restaurants. We were a group of six and all order different main course items, all of which were very good. I would recommend the donuts for the table and the other dessert items we order were all very good.

    AMAZING!! I very rarely complete a review. In this case, I JUMPED at the opportunity! The pasta and lamb were outstanding, and the baked calamari appetizer was to die for, especially loved the red sauce! We had a chance to meet the owner, Christopher, who couldn’t have been more pleased that we REALLY enjoyed our experience. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUR NEW GO TO RESTAURANT IN THE LOGAN SQUARE AREA, IF NOT FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN CHICAGO!
