Il Porcellino Chicago Reviews
Good Italian restaurant in River North.
If you like a quiet atmosphere, we would advise going early as it was very busy when we went but the food was great, service was fast and price was alright.
Absolutely delicious food so good
The food is absolutely delicious, lots and lots of options that we struggled to make a decision. The wine is absolutely fantastic. We are here for a business trip and I’m glad we don’t have one of these places in our hometown otherwise I would be
Loved the grilled octopus
Had a wonderful dinner at Il Porcellino. We sat at the high top near the bar. It was a nice cozy corner table. We started with the grill octopus. Wonderful! The spicy scampi had a great kick and side large salad was plenty to share for the table. The
Old school charm
Excellent ambiance, wonderful decor in that old style of photos of famous italians and others on the wall and above all excellent food.
So delicious
I had the cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce on top. The cheese ravioli was fresh and amazing, and the bolognese was some of the best I've ever had. Ate there multiple times during my trip. Just make sure you get a reservation. They book up qui
Great taste, but not hot
The restaurant itself is very cool, and had a great vibe. We ordered ftied calamari for starters and it was very fresh and tasty. We then split the spaghetti and meatballs, which was also very tasty, but it was not hot at all. But again the taste was
Fun vibe. Average pasta
Fun vibe but average pasta. All our meals were overcooked and pasta a bit on the soggy side. Service was good. Wine list was limited and overpriced.
Amazing food.
This spot was amazing for a celebration but also casual. Everything was delicious! The lasagna and chocolate was amazing! I would visit Chicago again to eat here! It was very packed so can take some time with service but well worth the wait!
Unsafe.
Unfortunate experience. Daughter went to dinner with friends. Three young men came in from street and walked past staff and began to accost and verbally abused customers including my daughter. Knocked over Daughter's drinks and food. Waitress a

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Il Porcellino Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Il Porcellino Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Il Porcellino Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Il Porcellino Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
