The beef was shy on meat and the bread was weak. The giardinera was good. The fries were ok. The gyro was acceptable. But the worst was the cannoli shake. Cool idea, but execution sucked. Tossed it after a spoonful. I hate to recommend going to Portillo's while in the Chicago area, but if you're a true Chicagoan you will be sadly disappointed.

I've always noticed that the size* of the (probably pre-manufactured ) pizzas vary sometimes and…read moretoday I might have found out why-- Today is Thursday, the special day where you save $1.51 on the pizzas ($6.99 vs 8.50 regular price). I believe* they are using smaller pizzas on Thursday to make up for the smaller 'sales' price, which would be underhanded and misleading. I picked up my pizza, opened the box and immediately noticed a smaller than usual pizza size..... maybe 1-2 cm smaller. I believe it should be the same size no matter what day, deal, coupon, etc. IMO. Can Buona or anyone else explain to me how this *isn't false advertising, similar to Subway footlong BS, Walmart Black Friday deals, etc? It just shows dishonesty and lack of decency towards the customers which makes me think hard about going back. I smell a class-action lawsuit if the right people (not me personally) get ahold of this information. Please do better Buona, because I know you can. (I didn't think to take picture before I started eating it, but attached is a pic of what's left when I realized what's probably going on. You can probably imagine a whole pizza and wonder why the box is so big compared to the pizza. They have people to figure out ideal box size to reduce packaging costs).

This has an interesting look - nice and open, a variety of tables, comfortable seats. Good stuff. We looked at the menus to the right as we walked in, and kind of figured out what we wanted. While we waited, we saw their video which shows the various levels of "moisture" you can have for your sandwich, which was very helpful. A regular sandwich is 6" and a large is 9" - we both went with the regular with hot Giardiniera peppers. My wife chose hers with the "easy gravy" option, while I went "The Chicago Way" with the ends dipped. The sandwiches came out fresh and hot. The beef was nicely done, well cut (no gristle) and melted in your mouth. The Hot Giardiniera was HOT as advertised (which is why I ordered a small fry to help soften that later. I wrapped up with a fudge brownie which I shared with my wife. The staff was attentive, and took care of us. Very nice place, good service, great beef!

The salsas were tasty too. Looking forward to coming back!

My boyfriend had a variety of tacos (fish, shrimp, and ribeye steak) but the fish taco was his favorite. There were only 2-3 young men working the front of the house and they were hustling. They spoke very loud and clear (a good thing!) and stayed busy taking orders, cleaning tables, and checking on guests. Job well done to those hard workers. Inside is a bit tight. When we visited, a part of the restaurant was closed off for a party so seating was limited to the few tables up front. However, there are some tables outside and you're super close to St Mary's Park so you could always get your order to-go and picnic at the park.
