Best Family Style Restaurants in Greektown

I really enjoyed my birthday dinner at Pizzeria Portofino. The food was delicious, and the service and staff were great! I can't wait to come back when it's warmer out to enjoy the views, open air and food again.

First time experience at Alla Vita. It was the perfect spot for lunch with my colleagues to toast the holidays. The atmosphere is festive, the food and service were incredible and the location was wonderful (easily accessible to the Loop via the CTA Pink Line). Can’t wait to go back with friends, soon.

My wife and I had a quick getaway to Chicago for her birthday. OpenTable booking made it simple to make reservations and any changes. Heads-up, parking will be a challenge so I recommend using valet! Make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee seating. The staff were very great at anticipating the wait time and so we did for 30 min since we arrived earlier. We were seated at the chef’s table which neither of us expected, and was a treat to experience. My wife enjoyed every bit of the good chaos in the kitchen and watching Ted & Kishaun (apologies for typo), prep the food with passion. Service was great all the way around and all the staff were attentive - kudos! The food, this is by far the highlight of the night and the trip! Flavor at its fullest and the portions are ample for two. We had the best empanadas to date, the skirt steak was a hit, and the pork belly was delish. Wrap dinner with apple pie is a a treat on its own. Thank you for making our trip and birthday celebration a memorable one.

il Carciofo is BEAUTIFUL. It’s open and airy and has great classic Chicago Italian restaurant vibes but in a modern open space. The food is amazing. Classic dishes like carbonara and handmade pastas that are simple but done at an exceptionally high level and quality. It felt warm and homey but still so creative. Must gets: - Carciofo Alla Guida - maybe the coolest and unique preparation of artichokes I’ve ever had. Delicious and lemony and crispy. - Pesce Spada Crudo - Joe Flamm does crudo better than anyone and I’ll fight you on that - Rigatoni Alla Carbonara - the perfect al dente rigatoni with the most luxurious eggy guanciale carbonara Can’t wait to be back to try many, many more things on this menu.

Food across the board great. Value for food was good. Unfortunately I’m not a 16 dollar of wine dude and not a 20 dollar cocktail dude either. But absolutely would go back again. Everything first class
