    Asked my (Chicago native) brother in law about a place we need to try before leaving the state and he said Giordano's. This particular location was closest during our drive. I had no expectations, but we were a starving party of 10, so the wait alone was torture. We must've waited over an hour. For future visits, I'd be sure to call in.

    See the burnt spot. Who eats black pizza!

    I have been a patron of this chain since 198? But this time, and this place has me out of sorts. I ordered a pizza they call it Tavern style. I had it before sitting at this same restaurant not two months ago! Picking up my pizza as the last order of the day it was not ready as it should have been at 10:00 pm. I arrived at 10:17 an although I was late it was being wrapped. Well it was burnt and when I returned the next day with it I was told by the manager that's how it's prepared. It was so scorched that the crust crumbled in front of him

    Awesome stuffed crust

    Visited over the weekend, got a deep dish with sausage, green pepper and onion and it was really good. The pizza was ready at the suggested time and the pick up was quick and easy. The price for a large deep dish was good as well. We will definitely be back!

    This review is for the Blackstone location. Here's the thing, I made the decision to order a pizza before taking in a movie. Giordano's was absolutely the wrong choice. My issue here has NEVER been the pizza itself, hence the two stars. But notice that the image I attached says pick up 30 minutes AFTER ordering right? Nowhere on this is there a disclaimer that (well, it might take a kazillion yers longer depending on what you order). I ordered a personal deep dish cheese. Six inch. No toppings. No gymnastics. . When I finalized the order ONLY THEN did it slide to the time that was ... wait for it .. more than 1.5 hours later for me to pick it up!!!!!!!!! I couldn't even book a movie time with that kind of spread. So I called the store because 1.5 hours was not going to cut it. Here's where it gets interesting. Now I'm told by the manager that I have the "real time" and I can get a refund. Cool. Will take a few days, though. Hmph. My issue is that they should take off that incorrect information of pick up time is "30 minutes after ordering", and say that pick up time is calculated once your order is placed. See? Expectations lowered. I'm still waiting for my refund.

    We had to try the famous deep dish pizza while in Chicago but we will never ever order it again. Its a sickening amount of cheese with no other flavor. The thinnest layer of sauce so all you can taste is cheese. Its disgusting. I ordered the Gluten free thin crust half pepperoni, half sausage. I swear it must have had at least 2lbs of cheese on it. The sausage was good because it actually had some seasoning and not just cheese flavor. Everyone hated the regular deep dish as well because the cheese was incredibly overwhelming. You get full after one slice and your stomach will most likely feel awful for the rest of the day. I don't understand the appeal and don't know why anyone would order this more than once.

    The pizza was delicious. The presentation and the smell had me very excited to eat. It took 45 min for the pizza and the fries were hot and fresh. They're the skinny fries, but they were okay.

    dry! no sauce.
    Lemaire D.

    These 2 large pizzas are soooo dry! No sauce, no sauce! Completelty void of flavor! We added seasonings and it did not help! We just moved in the area and this will not be our Giordano's! $96 for 2 pizzas and boneless chicken plus a $10 tip! This was so disappointing and such a waste! we don't want to eat Nick's & Vito all the time.

    Still no pizza!!!

    I got a pizza from here on Sunday and the pizza was not fully cooked. Had to put it in the oven to cook further, cheese was not melted.

    The sauce is sweeter and the crust more buttery, with the spinach and mushroom being the staple.

The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta.

The short rib sauce is ssosooo delicious! We sat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was nice to see the chef make the pizza and make the pasta.

Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. 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.

Every time I'm on that side of town, I try to make it a point to stop in. The customer service is always top-tier, but one of my favorite things about Il Porcellino is the ambiance.

It just has that classic Chicago feel that makes the entire dining experience even better. And the drinks? So good! I highly recommend the Old Fashioned -- definitely one of my favorites. I always order the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The first time I had it, the sauce was a little thicker, creamier, and richer, which I personally preferred. This visit, it was still very good, just a little lighter than I remembered. Either way, I enjoyed my meal and would absolutely order it again. Overall, another great experience. Great service, beautiful ambiance, delicious drinks, and good food. I'll definitely be back because Il Porcellino has become one of those places I look forward to visiting whenever I'm in the area. 10/10 -- highly recommend!

The octopus surprised me because octopus can be hit or miss for me, but they did it really well! The table bread was also pretty good and cheesy. The Caesar was just fine. Nothing special but not bad (which is good coming from me since I'm not usually big on kale). Of course all of the pastas were yummy. The fusilloni was definitely my favorite from the noodle shape to the sausage and cheese. The ricotta dumplings were suuuuuper cheesy which I really liked (though I could see why others wouldn't) and had a melt in your mouth softness. The rigatoni was tasty, but kinda just tasted like a normal red sauce so would probably try something more interesting next time. We really enjoyed the chicken parm, too. Not as good as the pastas, but definitely tasty and the basil was a good touch. We finished with the guava cheesecake sundae.

The fritto misto was ok, the breading tasted like it was old or had been sitting out. Not as crispy as we'd hope. To be honest felt like frozen calamari quality. The Alla Vita chopped was pretty standard, kinda reminded me of Olive Garden salad lol. The stars of the meal were the tagliatelle and cappelletti pasta. Both were super flavorful and pasta cooked well. The bone-in ribeye was a little on the sweeter side, definitely lacked a crust and salt. I'd pass on the steak IMO. Our biggest qualm was the timing of the dishes coming out. The pasta came out 30-35 minutes after the appetizer and salad which is fine, but the steak coming out 15 minutes after the pasta kinda ruined it. We'd love to eat the entrees (steak and pasta) together, and not finish our pasta first or let it go cold then eat steak alone.. ya know? We had ordered crispy potatoes but cancelled due to the wait. Ended the night with mango passion fruit sorbet with a prosecco float. Big mistake on the prosecco float haha it was so tarte and bitter, would def recommend trying the sorbet alone! Overall, glad we finally got to try this place. Focus more on the pastas and skip the steak. Very beautiful inside.
