About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Charming
Il Porcellino, located in the heart of River North in downtown Chicago, is a neighborhood restaurant offering classic Italian-American comfort food in a casual setting. Our seasonal menu focuses on housemate pastas, vegetable antipasti and daily specials, all crafted with ingredients sourced from quality artisans, purveyors, and local farmers. The fun and approachable wine program encourages sharing with selections primarily from Italy.

As a way to offset rising costs associated with the restaurant (food, beverage, labor, benefits, supplies), we have added a 3% surcharge to all checks. We do this in lieu of increased menu prices. You may request to have this taken off your check, should you choose.

    Delicious food, bustling atmosphere! The garlic bread loaf with melted butter poured over the top table side is outstanding…but be careful to save room for the meal. We ordered a large Caesar salad for two of us to share, but there was enough for 4 people. Pastas were wonderful. Our meals were excellent. Was enamored with the decorative strawberry jars up high on a shelf…good thing I’m only 5’2” and couldn’t reach them :)
