Pizzeria Portofino Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Excellent pizza and atmosphere.
Much better than the a deep dish if looking for something different when visiting Chicago. Staff well organized and attentive. Very clean. Absolutely recommend if in the area.
Have not gotten food yet - music is too loud and manager
Have not gotten food yet - music is too loud and manager will not lower the volume. Even the waitress said the mills is too loud.

This places is one of my favorites in Chicago! It's in a great location right on the river and one of my favorite places to take guests when they are visiting. It's hard to get a reservation especially in the summer. The food and drinks are so yummy. They have a lot of cute spritz's and overall great vibes!
Good Italian with a Nice View of the River
The food here is good as are the drinks. Nothing spectacular, but everything was quite tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. What makes this place special is the ambience. The setting is very cool; it almost feels like eating out in a vineyard. But...the view is of the Chicago River and the surround skyscrapers. The crowd is lively and there is a cool vibe here. I would recommend to visitors and locals alike.
Pizzeria Portofino, nestled in downtown, offers a charming
Pizzeria Portofino, nestled in downtown, offers a charming ambiance and a delicious array of pizzas. The Charred Pepperoni Pizza stole the show with its generous toppings and perfect blend of flavors. The downtown location adds to the allure, providing a picturesque setting for a meal. We tend to get it to go, which offers excellent take out service. However, while the food and atmosphere were excellent, I couldn't overlook the slightly increased prices, which prevented me from awarding a full 5 stars. Nonetheless, if you're willing to splurge a bit, Pizzeria Portofino is definitely worth a visit for a satisfying pizza experience.

I loved this place! From the moment I walked in or should I say took the elevator down lol The view of the river is to die for! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION - no complaints! Well other than parking but that's always the case downtown unfortunately. Stopped in for their lunch deal during restaurant week and they did not let us down. We've been wanting to come here for a while and we'll be returning to see what their dinner is like. The hot honey pizza hit the spot but i do wish there was a better way to pour it on there haha. The chicken parmesan sandwich wasn't anything too special honestly, good fries! Unfortunately the cacio e pepe was not a top for Chicago but it was fine. Now.. the appetizer!!! Crazy delicious!!!
Super great! Had the margarita pizza and the lemon tiramisu.
Will be back! For more. Got it for take out
The food was amazing, we recommend the honey pep pizza.
And the lemon pasta was to die for. We asked keep to pick his favorite dessert and it was to die for. Keith sent out the lemon tiramisu, will 100 % go back and get the same things. The restaurant was cute and such a nice ambiance. Recommend to anyone.
Great spot.
Love the pizza there and especially the calamari is our personal favorite. This was me and my boyfriend's second visit. We went on the 13th for dinner. Got sat early and everything was going good. Till we got to our table. It took a while for our server to greet us by time we already decided on everything from appetizer to main courses and we just sat there waiting for someone to come help us. Granted it was a pretty busy night so I understand. But throughout our dinner our server was no where to be found. The bus boys/food runners practically did all the work! Honestly shout out to them. They were fantastic. When it came time to pay, our server just brushed by and said no cash. No problem so we took out a card and our serve disappeared again! At that point me and my boyfriend was annoyed. We waited a while and someone else had to come help run our card. We would've left a better tip but to be honest we didn't feel like it was well deserved. Still it was a great atmosphere. Beautiful view. A good spot for something to eat while enjoying scenery. Our first time going everything was great and service was fantastic. Had better expectation for this visit considering our first was amazing. Sadly those expectations weren't met.
There was a break in the cold weather so strolled to this
There was a break in the cold weather so strolled to this riverfront restaurant and absolutely enjoyed it. I had the pepperoni pizza which was fantastic. A light crispy thin crust smothered in super crispy pepperoni slices. As a bonus, they provided a side of hot honey which I much preferred then including it directly on the pizza. It let me put as much or as little as I wanted and was perfect for applying on the crust for added flavor. I splurged and got the apple cake for dessert and it was equally tasty. Full of apple caramel flavor with a nice side scoop of ice cream. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The bartender was friendly and helpful.

Came here for the first time with some friends and we had a great experience. Our server was Cody and he was super attentive, friendly, and helpful. Definitely coming back:)
We went for lunch on a weekend.
We did not make reservations but saw so many open spots on Open Table for heated seating. We walked at around 145 and I saw an open table reservation for 2pm as I walked in. When asked to sit in the heated area by the river, we were told there is not a single spot available all afternoon so I brought up my phone to show the open table openings and Viola we had a table immediately in the heated section. Aside from that experience, the rest of our lunch was delish! We ordered the following: Brussel sprouts salad (7/10) - it was missing something but we couldn't figure out what it was but kids loved it! Fig ricotta bruschetta (8.5/10) - loved it all HOWEVER I think we could have used less of the fig jam but still so good! Penne vodka (10/10) - plate wiped clean! Spinach feta pizza (10/10) - the crust the flavor - so so so good! If the table issue did not happen, I would give it a 5/5!
Not for those seeking a good meal.
Worst service ever. Heaters were blaring; I asked four times to please adjust and had to beg. Our son, on his 18th birthday didn’t get his meal until the other three of us were finished and plates cleared. Noisy and average food. Ugh. Never again.
Special welcome to uncle Moh
This a crowded restaurant by the river.very busy. However the desk attendees are rude. They don't welcome you nicely and they talk in a stuck up way as if they own the restaurant or this is the only place in town!! But...their pizza is great and very delicious. The salad and Parmesan fries are also so good. We had desert pistachio ice cream and salted caramel and Natella cookie very nice too. Our servers are great and check on us often. We appreciate them tremendously. Thank you so much and sorry I didn't get their names.
Bring earplugs if you eat inside
Food was very good. I recommend you eat on terrace or dont bother. Our waiter had to visit both ends of the table to tell us about draft beer selections, specials etc. Then did the same to take our orders. Very loud and nearly impossible to hear him. The food comes out when its ready...so 2 of our 5 sat for 10 min without their entries. We placed an order to take home for a relative. We did not receive it and only realized when we were in the cab that we were charged for it. So, maybe they can donate a lemon pasta with chicken to a food bank for us. Eat outside or pass.
Great food on the river
Great food and atmosphere on the river. Pizza, pastas and antipastos were all delicious. Very quick and attentive service. Place feels like you are at an island beach bar.
Beautiful waterfront dining experience
We had a lovely dinner here with great food and great scenery. We enjoyed the Spaghetti Limone and Pesto Genovese. The roasted garlic bread was a fantastic appetizer. A great evening!

Chris served us with lot of Warmth and Hospitality really loved every bit of it Oh what a pizza good Pasta great salad enjoyed
Love this Riverfront Restaurant
Had a great visit to this restaurant! If it’s warm ask for a table outside by the River. Sampled the octopus, calamari, pizza, Parmesan fries and more. Everything we tried was excellent. Great wait service (we were with a regular). Great for people watching. Reasonably priced for the area. Look forward to going back!
Well-lit Abercrombie & Fitch vibes
Very trendy restaurant but I felt that I was eating at a well-lit Abercrombie and Fitch. The music was so loud. The pizza was good and service was poor.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
App
This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕

Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
