The location was nice, especially if you can get a seat by the river, which we didn't. The food was much better than I was expecting. Everything tasted good, but I think our server made it sound like since everything was a sharing size, I expected each plate to be bigger. Also had to ask for refills on the water, which I didn't expect to have to do for a nicer restaurant. And maybe this is a standard in Chicago, to tack on a 3% service charge, "to accommodate inflation, but to keep menu prices unchanged". I find this service charge situation in Chicago to be a little ridiculous. Just increase menu prices to reflect the increase in costs instead of putting this surcharge in fine print. read more

We celebrated my niece's 1st birthday at Portofino, and the entire experience was amazing. The seating was a bit crowded, but that's just part of the atmosphere of the restaurant. We were lucky to get a great spot right by the patio overlooking the river, which made the celebration even more special. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helped make everything run smoothly. Huge thanks to Cody for helping coordinate everything and to Ellee for being wonderful throughout the experience; even my niece loved her! The food was outstanding. We started with the meatballs, and the sauce was so good. You can never go wrong with the calamari, either. The pasta and pizzas were all delicious and perfect for sharing with the family. I'm usually not a big tiramisu fan, but their seasonal lemon tiramisu was a pleasant surprise. It was light, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Portofino delivered great food, excellent service, and a memorable setting for a special family celebration. We'll definitely be back! read more

Celebrating our little baby-to-be with the most BEAUTIFUL double date night at Pizzeria Portofino There's just something magical about sitting along the Chicago Riverwalk with the city glowing around you, incredible food hitting the table nonstop, cocktails and mocktails flowing, and being surrounded by people you love most. From the SECOND we walked in, Pizzeria Portofino made us feel so welcomed and celebrated and honestly the entire experience was perfection. We started with calamari, meatballs, and bruschetta that disappeared within minutes then came the Fresca pizza, vodka pasta, and cacio e pepe which were all absolutely unreal. Every single drink that came out somehow got BETTER than the last, the ambiance was dreamy, the service was beyond attentive, and then to top it all off... they surprised us with a spritz cake dessert on the house to celebrate our baby Nights like this are the ones you never want to end. Amazing food, beautiful views, family time, and celebrating the sweetest new chapter of our lives all in one place Who DOESN'T love sitting on the Riverwalk on a perfect Chicago night!? read more

Nice space right off the river; we sat inside as it was evening and rainy but I'm sure the patio is nice in summer! Busy even on a Monday evening at 8pm but the host and our waiter were both attentive and kind, and we were sat right around our reservation time. Charred pepperoni pizza was solid with the hot honey and pepper flakes. Arugula salad was fresh and very lemony. The vodka rigatoni was the star of the evening - very good flavor and the noodles were just the right amount of al dente. Side note: almost every table seemed to be celebrating something as we saw SO many of the desserts with a large sparkler candle go by throughout the evening lol. Definitely not a bad place to celebrate something at! read more

We went to Pizzeria Portofino for a St. Patrick's Day date and overall had a really nice time, but there were a few things that stood out. The food was honestly amazing. Everything we ordered tasted great and you can tell it is high quality. That being said, it is definitely on the pricier side and feels more like a tourist spot than somewhere locals would go regularly. Service started off strong and our server was friendly, but it got really busy and towards the end of our meal we did not see them for a while. We were planning on ordering dessert but by the time they came back we had already decided to just close out. The atmosphere is nice, especially with the patio setup, which is originally why we booked. We had reserved a heated patio spot and paid a deposit for it, but when we got there we were told it was closed and were moved inside. What was frustrating is that we saw people sitting out there during our meal, which was confusing. Also worth noting there is no parking, so I would definitely recommend using SpotHero because parking in Chicago can be tricky. Overall the food was great and it is a fun place for a date, just be prepared for higher prices and a busier environment. read more

My favorite place in Chicago so far!! The BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had. Also the BEST espresso martini I have ever had. They use real fresh espresso thankfully. Gluten free pizzas were the crispy pepperoni w hot honey (incredible) and sausage fennel (also incredible) with a delicious gf crust. Crust didn't taste gluten free at first, we started looking around for other pizzas, but it was in fact gluten free!! Amazing!! Fries are HUGE, we took to go. They were pretty standard. We were bummed the fries and the pizzas came out at the same time, as we wished the fries came out first as an app. This place books out like crazy. We made a reservation for a Friday night a month in advance and the earliest time available was 8:30! Slam packed! Service was good though. However, I have heard that service is super spotty and it just depends who your server is.... We were here for my friends birthday and they bring out a little ice cream cup with a sparkler on top. Super cute! Great atmosphere on the river! Willlll be coming back for pizza and espresso martinis read more

Pretty solid pizza. And there are some nice views of the river. Charred pepperoni pizza: 4/5. Really good crust and they used quality pepperoni. It's funny, as much as I love pepperoni pizza, I think this topping has a ceiling for me at 4/5. No other topping seems to elevate pizzas with it. With this in mind I wished I had ordered something else to see how good the pizzas at this place really are. read more

Pizzeria Portofino is easily one of my favorite spots in Chicago. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, especially in the summer when you can sit outside along the water. The views of the river and the city are beautiful and make the whole experience feel special. The food was delicious and everything we ordered tasted fresh and well made. The drinks were great as well and paired perfectly with the meal. Between the incredible views, great food, and relaxing outdoor atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy a summer evening in Chicago. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Our server was absolutely incredible. Can't thank them enough for having us. read more

This place is beautifully decorated inside and open to the outside seating by the river (fyi, there's a $5 charge for sitting on the covered patio). Think that is for the efforts of setting up the outside covered seating during the cool weather. Upon walking in, you will be treated with a beautiful modern decorated interior. One of my notable remarks are the people that engage us throughout service. They provide recommendations, highlights, and pair them to your preference. I always love it when host or servers take your preference into consideration and are mindful of the little nuances. Food wise, everything tasted great here. Love the fennel pizza and Caesar salad that we ordered. We added a squeeze of lemon to our dishes to further push the already delicious flavor and it just worked so well. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience and their food offerings. This is an establishment that we would look forward to returning and reliving another wonderful experience. Great job team! read more

Pizzeria Portofino is by far one of my favorite restaurants in this great city of Chicago. Great food on the river walk with amazing views. The staff is always pleasant, it's a great option for after work meet up, or an intimate dinner for two. I also chartered a boat before and they catered. You just dock right in front and they bring out the food to your boat. 10/10! read more

Absolutely stunning restaurant right on the river. I attended a work dinner here and was blown away by the lovely ambiance, beautiful views and epic food. Our company organized a family style tasting menu, so I was able to taste so many delicious items! Standout ones for me were the meatballs, charred pepperoni pizza and rigatoni pasta. The meatballs were generously sized and served with a flavorful tangy marinara sauce. The charred pepperoni pizza was fantastic - thin crust, wood fired, and had a kick to it thanks to the hot honey drizzle. The rigatoni pasta had an incredible sauce - I couldn't get enough! So good. Their cocktails are also on point! I enjoyed a couple Amalfi spritzes which were very fresh and refreshing. Service was great as well. Absolutely worth a visit! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Chicago! The food was absolutely delicious, and with a great view of the river! It is pretty crowded and loud, but the service was great.

(Kari's Rating 6.75/10) We had a group of eight come in for one of my girlfriends birthdays, there was a slight wait as we had a large party. We were seated at a high top in the back. Half of the group did the restaurant week menu and the other half ordered à la carte. Decor was mature Greek rainforest married to a European vibe. The restaurant week menu actually had a lot of items on it, my friends did a combo split so here's the review for restaurant week. The Paparazzi drink was a was bright citrus forward combination of cucumber and mint dancing with elderflower liquor which was quite refreshing. Caesar salad with a little bit oily with a light Caesar vinaigrette, it was a pretty good combination 1:1 of dressing to the actual lettuce, but it does need a little bit of a crouton or a toasted breadcrumb crunch to top it off. Garlic bread was wood fired with a generous portion of garlic butter. One of the best apps. My biggest piece of advice was the restaurant needs to put the brussels sprouts pizza on their regular menu, as it's only available during restaurant week. It's so good! My absolute favorite! There's a reason this place is called pizzeria Portofino and not Pastaria Portifino. The pasta was relatively average. The carbonara was a special restaurant week menu item that I would not recommend putting on the actual menu. Served almost as a filler. Desert was a lemon curd cake, the texture was really good. It was a little bit dense, a little bit cold, but the ricotta offset the light lemon flavor. It was one of my favorite parts of the meal. It came with a candied orange peel and the mouth feel was kind of heavy, so I think curls of orange would be better. Overall a great dessert! I think as far as week goes, this is the best bang for your buck because the entire dinner was $45 and also comes with a dessert. Service was a tad slow but there were lots of us. They're really on top of giving us water. So drink up! read more

We came here in a rainy day for a birthday celebration. We first start with the fries, the portion is huge and flavourful. I love the dipping sauce. The pizzas and pastas are amazing especially the truffle with 3 cheese. Even the restaurant is leaking, the staff took care of us so well, and make sure we are not affected by the rain. We were served with dessert after the dinner. We had a great time! read more

I'm from Houston, Texas and visited Chicago recently. This was the first restaurant my family ate at and I was very impressed! STAFF: Everyone was very friendly, patient, professional, and attentive. The hostess was quick to greet us and our waitress was sweet. She checked on us often and made the experience great. Other people in front of us had luggage with them, and the hostess even offered for them to leave the luggage in the waiting area so they can enjoy dinner without having to worry or haul their luggage around. I just love when staff are considerate and take care of their customers. AMBIANCE/ATMOSPHERE: It was beautiful inside the restaurant! The restaurant even has an elevator that takes you down, which elevates the experience a little bit more. When the elevator door opens, the entrance was decorated beautifully and when you stand in the lobby, you get to see the whole restaurant and it's stunning. The place is dimly lit, so it makes for a great place for date nights and celebrations. Even though the restaurant is elegant and fancy, you will not get frowned upon when you don't dress for the occasion. It was super cold so I was in sweatpants. The staff were all still very professional and gave us great service. PRICE: The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, especially for the portion. The good thing is that Italian food can easily be shared. FOOD: We ordered the Charred Pepperoni Pizza and Parmesan Fries. The pizza was small for the price and it tasted pretty good. It wasn't life changing or anything like that. lol The crust was thin and perfectly baked. The fries were so good! They were better than I thought they would be. They were perfectly salted and seasoned. They were crispy and very addicting. It is a huge portion, so it can definitely be shared. We were celebrating my boys' birthday and I love that the restaurant does something special to celebrate the occasion. Instead of the staff singing Happy Birthday, they provided ice cream with a sparkling candle. It makes it so fun and festive in a loud way, without actually being loud. haha Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed every second of it! read more

This restaurant is right off the river. That's how I noticed it, from across the river. I recommend making reservations, even during the week. Otherwise, they'll be seating you at a high table next to the bar. You can access it by either taking an elevator or walking down the stairs to it. Really loved it inside. So welcoming. Great vibe. Energetic. There are tables right next to the water, booth seating, high tables, and stools at the bar. Great food. I ordered the spinach and feta pizza. It was wood fired to perfection. Simple, but so delicious. They offer some great cocktails. I ordered a spritz. Service was awesome. Young guy was on top of it. Even though the place was full and super busy, looked like the rest of the staff were on top of it, too. Everyone was high energy. read more

PSA: Didn't get more photos because my phone died, which is a shame, because the inside of this place is easily one of the most beautiful dining spaces in Chicago. Met a coworker here over the holidays for a quick bite. We sat at the bar with a perfect river view. It was freezing outside, so inside seating was the move. I tried a couple of their mocktails and the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp...bomb. The only reason for 4 stars is the bar staff: not the most personable or attentive, and there's a bit of that pretentious River North energy you can't quite escape. Overall, I'd definitely go back, solid date spot or a nice lunch with a friend. read more

Pizzeria Portofino - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is average to below average pizza. Sure it's thin crust Italiano, whatever. BUT if I need a dipping sauce to make something taste good there's a problem. I saw about 1,000 people ordered the honey dip along with the pepperoni crusted pizza and social proof got me, BUT for once I'm glad it did as most the time the bandwagon of people is straight heading off a cliff. I needed anything to make this thin as paper pizza to taste good. It did have a lil toxic spicy kick, like a taste those spicy exs of anyones' likes. I'm not one for overally spicy food, I like tastefully executed flavor and spices, not hot for no reason. This place is about ATMOSPHERE AND AMBIENCE. Go figure it's downstair from RPM Seafood, so expensive pairing, yet leaves you wanting more. I'll take a Papa John's pizza with that butter sauce please! read more

Cool eatery on the river. It was a beautiful day so we ate on the patio. We were shielded from the sun and enjoyed aperol spritz cocktails, a delicious salad and pizza. This is a great place for food and people watching, with a great view of the boats on the river. read more

Came here on a date night with my cousin and my best friend. I made the reservation two days prior and when we got there we had to check in at the hostess. The area was crowded and the hostess took a phone call as soon as I got up to the desk to check in. No big deal, I am understanding, but it would be a courtesy to have put them on hold since I was there first. The little things I guess. We were seated five minutes late in the outside area which I had to pay extra for during my reservation however the table was just in the covered outdoor area not by the widow which was the impression they gave when I was making the reservation so that was a let down. The inside was decorated so nicely and beautiful. We were seated and our server introduced herself to us right away. Through out the night i think we only saw her 3 times and one of those times was when we told her the Romaine Casear Salad wasnt good.. We started of with drinks and I got the Piazza Colada. It was pretty good and sweet but taste pretty light, not a lot of rum in it.. Just okay for a drink. We ordered the Crispy Parmesan Fries, the Imported Burrata, the Calamari Fritti and the Romaine Caesar Salad. The Crispy Parmesan Fries were cooked perfectly, had delicious seasoning and were such a good value for the price! The Imported Burrata was such high quality and the apples were amazingly! The Calamari Fritti was also great quality and fried perfectly, I just wish they would have given us more lemons or a bigger lemon for it. The Tomain Casear was not good. I dont think they mixed it in the kitchen. It tasted like watery old lettuce too.. it was under whelming. For dinner we ordered Italian Sausage and Fennel Pizza and the Speghetti Limone with shrimp. The Italian Sausage and Fennel Pizza was amazing! I would come back just for it! So good cooked perfectly and also felt like a light dish but also so luxurious because it felt like such high quality. And the Speghetti Limone had really good flavor but the pasta was kind of tossed onto the sauce and not really mixed in so a few bites were underwhelming. And the pasta had some noodels clump together so we had to pull some nooodles apart. And it was served with a large fork but no spoon so serving it was a bit difficult.The shrimp was cooked perfectly though I wish we had gotten more! Overall great food, some dishes fell short read more

Somehow got blessed by the reservation gods and my group got a reservation on a sunny Thursday evening! The restaurant was popping but the service didn't miss a beat. Drinks were flowing and every dish was delicious. Special mention of the spaghetti limone and the baked goat cheese....so delicious! The lemon pasta was some of the best i've had. Usually i'm a vodka rigatoni stan but am so glad we ventured out! Hopefully we are lucky enough to come back again and sit on the patio! Highly recommend. read more

Yummy place! The pizza was pretty good. Pastas were good. Some of the drinks we had were also very good (kind of expensive though).

Finally made it to Pizza Portofino on a Friday night, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It can be a little tough to snag a reservation, so I'd recommend booking in advance if you can. We ended up with a four-person table even though there were just two of us, which was nice. The inside is beautiful, and it's awesome being right on the water I can only imagine how great the patio is in the summer. Service was phenomenal all night; we were seated and served right away. For drinks, I started with an espresso martini and followed up with a couple of dirty martinis with blue cheese olives, all of them were excellent. We split the sausage fennel pizza to start, which disappeared so fast I didn't even get a photo. Great pizza to split between 2 people. The pizza was way better than I expected for a spot that could easily lean touristy. For my entrée, I went with the grilled chicken, which came with potatoes and a really flavorful sauce, simple but perfectly done. Prices were reasonable for how nice of a place this is, definitely on par with similar riverfront spots. Overall, a great experience start to finish. Beautiful setting, top-notch service, and great food. Definitely worth checking out Pizza Portofino. read more

Had a margherita and a splendida cocktail. Pizza was decent. Drink was okay. Service was lacking. I think this place is only popular because it's on the riverfront. It's cute inside but what's the use if you don't feel welcome there? Off the bat, my server was abrupt and curt. Didn't catch her name (she didn't say) and the whole interaction was clipped and transactional. Might as well have talked to a peppy robot. They dropped off the pizza first, then the cocktail. Then, when I was almost halfway done with the pizza, the server came by and dropped off seasonings. Just very thoughtless service. Then almost as soon as I picked up the last slice, a busboy came by and wordlessly, swiftly collected the pizza pan. They really rush their parties. Not sure if it was because I was dining solo but it didn't leave a good impression. Then when the server noticed the pizza was gone, she made a weird comment - "Nice job." Idk, maybe that passes as humor here. I thought it was a strange thing to comment on, especially given her reticence otherwise. No thanks. read more

We were traveling for work and someone recommended this place. Absolutely love the ambience. I can't imagine what it's like sitting here in the summer along the water... It looks awesome. We started with some drinks at the bar, it's a small bar, maybe 15 seats at most. The bartenders were lovely. We had reservations for dinner so eventually moved to a table. We shared the octopus and calamari. The octopus seemed a little more well done than normal. But it was still delicious. We all had various pasta meals, which were all very good, but we all agree. They could've been a little lighter touched on the sauce. Also, no one needs pepper flakes unless requested. For folks not fond of heat this was an unpleasant surprise. Overall, we would definitely come back. The pizza looked delightful and the truffle french fries that we saw on other peoples tables looked plentiful and delicious. I think the biggest negative of all was the fact that they do not accept cash which somehow seems illegal (and to me a tidbit unethical). So if you do venture out, make sure you carry a card. read more

We went to Pizzeria Portofino on our first night in Chicago, and it was packed to the brim -- people were even standing outside just waiting to get in. Reservations are definitely a must, and after eating there, I completely understand why. The view was incredible, the service was phenomenal, and the patio was absolutely beautiful. Sitting by the river and seeing the Chicago lights at night made the whole experience even better. I didn't get any pictures of the drinks or appetizers, but the pizza was amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. If I'm ever back in Chicago, this will definitely be one of my first stops. read more

Major points: vibe, view, meatballs, to-go bag Meh: pizza Let me explain. Pizzeria Portofino just changed their menu over to fall menu and the burrata and Tuscan salad were really nice (loved the shaved fennel on the salad). Drinks were sweet & refreshing - would be killer on a hot day. Boyfriend got the premium cocktail and they give you what you paid for! Very strong. We also got the meatballs (not pictured) and those were BOMB - super flavorful sauce. The pizza was pretty good. In my top 5? No. In my top 10? Also no, but I was in nyc for 11 years so I've got a long list. Very cool vibe right on the river and service was great, would definitely come back...especially on a hot summer day! read more

Pizzeria Portofino is a popular restaurant downtown by the river. Reservations book out far in advance, especially for the patio and during the summer time. If you want a patio table, they require you to pay $2.50 per person for the table reservation and this amount is not put towards your bill. (I do not like this concept at all. I think it's a scam, but they charge because it's so busy they know people will pay). We got a patio table, but it was shoved in the corner and felt like it was almost inside. Also my water glass had someone else's lipstick lip print on the rim. The pizza is neapolitan style - thin and crispy and perfect to order a couple and share. The pizzas were bigger than I thought they would be! Each one has 8 small slices. We ordered 2 pizzas for 3 people and still had leftovers. The corn pizza was definitely my favorite. I love corn on pizza! The mushroom pizza was also really good but needed the red pepper flakes for a kick. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She recommended we do 2 pizzas which was perfect. All the food came out quickly, and it is one of the few restaurants right on the river, so I can see why it's so popular. read more

Honestly worth the hype! This is such a cute spot right on the river with excellent vibes, great views, and a super fun atmosphere. It's smaller than I expected, which actually made it feel even more special. Our server was an absolute doll, but so sweet and attentive. We started with the Parmesan fries, which were simple but exactly what I was craving. My go-to drink this summer has been a Hugo spritz, so I couldn't resist the Paparazzi Spritz. It was similar with the addition of cucumber. Not quite as refreshing as the classic (maybe a heavier pour of St. Germain?), but still enjoyable. For food, we had the Vodka Rigatoni, which was absolutely delicious and easily one of my new favorites in the city. We also tried the sweet corn and feta pizza, which was a little different but so good. Overall, such a fun spot with great food and drinks. I can't wait to come back! read more

One of our first stop when we were visiting and so glad we decided on it. Excellent location with beautiful view riverside and if you can and it's an option check out the patio as you get a view of the Chicago River and skyline. Interior is also stunning. I had RSVP a few weeks prior and when we were 3 hrs away and our eta was much later than expected I had called to inform them that we were running behind and they were extremely accommodating given how busy they were We enjoyed everything about this. The food was excellent the service was amazing and the view was outstanding We ordered: Meatball & Ricotta Pizza - the dough was cooked perfectly for us (we prefer extra time in the oven) and it didn't feel too heavy Rigatoni vodka pasta - delicious!! noodles were cooked perfectly the sauce wasn't super heavy and flavor was just right. Hubby likes this but he does prefer it to be a bit more saltier Overall - highly recommended, excellent experience and great for date night or group outings read more

My friends and I went here for our first dinner on a bachelorette trip in Chicago, and Pizza Portofino made the night SO special for our bride. I had noted our occasion in the reservation and they reached out in advance to personalize the menu design. We split a variety of pizzas and apps. Everything was picture-worthy and delicious but the meatball pizza and the Amalfi spritz purse was my favorite (because of the shareable purse glass it came in)! Plus, the service was great and we sat inside yet still had a lovely view of the river. I will definitely be back!! read more
