Needless to say close to almost done with my salad I found two long pieces of hair. I didn’t not complain since already through it but don’t think I’ll ever go back. I’m kind of grossed out.

It was really fun and both the tuna tartare and the rigatoni Alla vodka were delicious. They also have a peppermint espresso martini that’s really good. The hostess always says Hello to me by name and I love Quinn the server!

The heated patio with amazing river views at Pizzeria Portofino was the perfect place to celebrate a college graduation with our family. The atmosphere was lively and filled with positive energy, our server, Keith, was super attentive and fun, and everything was delicious including the cocktails! We'll be back!

Pizzeria Portofino was a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday! Matt Crimmins the VIP Concierge had reached out to see if there is anything special he could prepare in advance. Matt had personalized menus and a special dessert was served as well. Lovely day. :)

We were five minutes past our grace period due to a late flight arrival and they were kind enough to still fit us in on the heated patio. The whole place was beautiful so no matter where you sit, it’s amazing. Food and drinks were everything I had hoped for our first meal to have in Chicago.

Pizza Portofino went above and beyond for our family visiting Chicago from Ohio. We mistakenly did not consider the time change booking the reservation at home for 4:00pm arriving to Chicago looking for my reservation and it said 5:00pm. They did not even hesitate to help our party get seated within 10 minutes service amazing food with excellent service and we were out of there to get to our show in time. I can’t thank them enough for saving our amazing dinner at a restaurant. We visited several times now while we’re in Chicago. Will tell others about this amazing restaurant and be back when we visit again.
