    Lobster Carbonara
    Melissa L.

    Went to Colletti's last night with two girlfriends and it was such a cute dinner spot I ordered an Aperol spritz and the lobster carbonara -- and WOW. The pasta was absolutely exquisite, super rich and flavorful, and the portion was generous enough for leftovers (which we love ). Also have to mention the complimentary bread with olive oil, garlic, and basil... honestly to die for. I could've made a meal out of just that alone. The only downside was the service was a bit slow. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, especially when we were trying to order more drinks -- we had a hard time tracking her down. Overall though, the food really delivered and I'd definitely come back, just hoping for a bit more attentive service next time!

    Complimentary Italian bread and oil

    Located on the Northwest side of Chicago,this 4 generation family owned and operated establishment has evolved into a neighborhood favorite. Their menu is extensive with a huge selection of appetizers,soups,salads,pizza,sandwiches,pastas and desserts. Service is amazing and once we were seated we were brought complimentary Italian bread with olive oil and butter. Each dinner comes with either soup or salad. The Minestrone soup was very good..loaded with fresh vegetables and flavor. We had the Short Rib Bucatini which had a delicious tomato Ragu sauce . Portion was big enough to share. If you are looking for traditional Italian family recipes in a cozy setting,give Colletti's a try..you will not be disappointed.

    I attended an industry-sponsored Lunch and Learn event. The fond memories this place brought back were a bit overwhelming. Colletti's has been a stable for decades. The interior has changed since the last time I was there. It seemed more spacious and meticulous. In addition to different dining sections, a party room can host events like the one I attended. Their delicious thin-crust cheese pizza was available while participants checked in. For lunch, we were served broasted chicken, Italian sausage with peppers, mashed potatoes, and green beans as sides. The chicken was outstanding. It was tender and succulent. The Italian sausage had a nice flavor and was enjoyable. To end the meal, we were treated to Italian Ice (not on the menu) and coffee. The staff was excellent and personable. There is a private parking lot with plenty of spaces. The overall ambiance was cozy and welcoming. Make sure to check out three framed historic menus on the walls. I highly recommend this place for a casual or intimate meal. You won't be disappointed.

I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are. We look forward to returning to Il Porcellino, to bask in that indescribable feeling of being in Italy again.

It's one of those places that you find yourself talking about long after the meal is over. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit. They pour what feels like a gallon of garlic butter over it, and somehow it's still never enough. It's rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.

Reservations are released 21 days ahead of time, which I personally find impossible to make. Every time I've checked over the last several years there have been no availability. Yesterday I decided to pop on their website again and was delighted to find that they had released same day dinner reservations for patio only dining. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining so I went ahead and booked a table for Friday night. I felt like I won the dinner lottery. Service was wonderful and I didn't mind sitting outside at all next to the road with cars. I actually never stepped foot in the restaurant so cannot comment on what it's like inside. But do not give up that patio dining reservation if it's available. All of our dishes were delicious. I was really impressed by the meatball appetizers, chicken vesuvio (the potatoes are a must get as a side if you skip this dish), and branzino. The meats and sauces were wonderfully balanced and tender. Nothing tasted overly salted. Ironically, the pasta felt less of a star compared to the other dishes. And of course I had to get the gelato, which was so aesthetically presented and the taste just reminded me of an Italian summer vacation.

The vibe is dark, moody, and perfect for an intimate night out. Service was excellent. The chicken Parmesan was the star of the meal, huge portion and absolutely worth ordering. We also tried the Caesar salad, short rib, carbonara , potatoes, and tiramisu that were all delicious. My only feedback is that the wait between courses felt a bit long, and some of the ladyfingers in the tiramisu weren't fully soaked so it was a bit dry. Overall, a great experience with a beautiful atmosphere and generous portions.

The inside of the restaurant felt like a classic Italian restaurant you might find in Italy. Our waiter was super nice and gave some great wine recommendations. First, they bring you some bread and give you a small platter mixed with olive oil, fresh garlic, and Parmesan. This is the first time I've seen it done this way but it was delicious. The calamari was delicious, not too fried and oily but still had so much flavor to it. We also decided to order the peperoni pizza, which is just a magnificent pizza. It was just cooked perfectly with just the right amount of flavor and spice. I ordered the raviolacci toscani, which took a bit of time to come out (but understandable given the amount of people).
