    Pizza Portofino is one of my favorite spots in the city. The garlic bread and truffle pizza (request hot honey, trust me) are GAME CHANGER. I went with a few friends and we all agreed that they both redefined garlic bread and pizza (at least in Illinois) respectively. Great service and great vibes!

    The food was delicious. If you choose a dish that requires table service you are in for a treat. The wait staff is attentive and answer questions in detail. I recommend this establishment as it is quite an experience and offers options not found in other Italian restaurants. The ambience is nice for a restaurant located on the second level of an Italian grocery store.

    We had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation to be seated, but the restaurant wasn't even full. The sauce on our deep dish pizza was cold and the deep dish cookie was very thin- the dessert was basically ice cream. Overall just an okay experience.
