I normally have positive experiences at local restaurants and was looking forward to experiencing…read moreone on a Saturday night at Portofino Trattoria in Campton Hills but unfortunately a 1 hr 45 minute wait for 3 pretty basic dishes that were obviously rushed in being prepared left a bad impression on us. We sat at the bar and the one bartender tried his best to keep up with the drink orders for the whole restaurant & the bar patrons drink & food orders. As we approached a wait of 1 hour & 35 minutes, we asked the bartender to have the meals placed in to go boxes. 10 more minutes go by without our meals and we asked to speak to a member of management. What was concerning was the restaurant manager on duty only came out when we requested to speak with a manager. In a calm tone, asked the manager on duty if a 1 hr 45 minute wait for our meals was reasonable. He tried to tell us that they were very busy and the kitchen was behind. Agreed. When asked if we should pay for a meal that was severely delayed he agreed the wait was excessive and he would cover the cost of the meal. I appreciate this reaction from the manager on duty. Unfortunately, when we took our meals to go, we didn't have a good experience with the meals. Received one chicken breast grilled and one breaded for the Portofino Pollo dish. Looked like they grabbed what was up at the time in the kitchen and placed it in the to go containers. Flavors were bland, likely a result of being rushed after a 1 hr 45 min wait. This might be coincidental but being short staffed at the Compton Hills location when they are opening a new location in Geneva is probably what led to the severe delays from the kitchen in servicing meals. Hope the opening of the Geneva location doesn't adversely impact the Campton Hills location beyond our dining visit experience. I gave a rating of 2 as the Manager on Duty did agree to cover the meal cost. The bartender tried to keep us from leaving by offering us a drink on the house to stay after we asked for the meals to be placed in to go boxes to take home at that point versus staying and dining. Proactive customer support would've helped versus a reactive attempt of customer support. Didn't penalize the bartender and provided a cash tip since the kitchen's delay was not his fault. Let's hope Portofino Trattoria does better in the future.

As someone with Celiac disease, navigating the menu was a bit stressful. There are no gluten-free markers or a dedicated GF menu, though it does state that most items can be prepared GF. I informed the server about my Celiac restriction, and while she did note it for the kitchen (it was even printed on the check), she wasn't very proactive or helpful with the menu. When I asked what I could actually eat, she didn't really go over my options. They don't offer GF bread, but they do have GF penne. I had to ask which sauces were safe, and was given three options. I went with the cherry tomato sauce, which came with a lot of tomatoes, and the penne itself was just okay. To top it off, they didn't really have any GF desserts (aside from maybe gelato, but I wasn't in the mood for that). Overall, it's a decent spot for a big group, but if you have Celiac, be prepared to do a lot of the heavy lifting and asking questions yourself.

From the…read moreatmosphere to the service, everything was top-notch, but the food is what will keep me coming back. * The Calamari: I don't say this lightly--this is some of the best calamari I have ever eaten in my life. It was perfectly crisp, tender, and seasoned to perfection. If you go, do not skip this. * The Pizza: Truly fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and a proper oven. The crust had that perfect chew-to-char ratio that only a great wood-fired pizza gets. Geneva has a lot of dining options, but Gia Mia stands out as a clear winner. Whether you're a local or just visiting for the day, make sure this is on your list. I'll definitely be back!

Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.

Our waitress was friendly and happy to answer any questions or offer suggestions. We visited on Mother's Day, so the restaurant was offering a special menu. While it would've been nice to also view the regular menu, we understood it might be due to the fact that everything is homemade and made to order. The calamari was perfectly cooked--not overly breaded--and the bruschetta was delicious, especially since it's one of my favorite appetizers. The complimentary bread paired nicely with the olive oil. My personal favorite was the stuffed salmon, it was flavorful, and served with an orzo-style grain. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well, and everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and tasty.

First off, the place is very nice looking - feast your eyes on the photos. Angled windows in front, nice table spaces, art at every table, a nice oil candle, and good enough lighting that you can read the menu without wrecking the intimate nature of a booth. The menu (photos attached) is loaded with good stuff. For an appetizer, we selected their Imperial American Wagyu Filet Carpaccio, which came with thinly sliced Wagyu Filet, topped with black truffle, king crab, kaluga caviar, panna grattato, and other tasty stuff. It was served on a white plate with bread, and was incredibly tasty. My wife ordered their Lobster Linguini (on the bill) or Linguini Aragosto on the menu. She enjoyed it very much, and even took some home. On the other hand, I went with their Butcher's Butter Spinalis which was a Ribeye Cap. It was very tender, very tasty, nicely seasoned and cooked as requested at medium rare temperature. With that, we ordered their Rosemary Potatoes, which were "family sized" (enough for two or three) and tasted great. We closed out with a cannoli which was two-sided with two different end preps, which was excellent. To work with all this, I needed a wine which would work for the seafood and the meat, so I selected a Grosjean Pinot Noir, which worked great with both. Service was very very very good - regular checks, food timing was good with each part coming out with enough time to easily finish it before the next course came out. Our waitstaff Ashley kept us watered, and even removed the cork from the wine using a wine key while standing. Nicely done! This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to go for a nice, relaxed meal. They do store their wine horizontally (like you are supposed to, see the picture) and keep it out of the sun. They also have a deli on the west end with reduced hours, so if you want something I'd suggest going there before you arrive so you don't miss it.
