    Italian Sub
    Andrew P.

    Wonderful family owned bakery with weekday lunch options. In a strip mall with other choices to dine in and then stop here and grab a dessert or some bread for dinner. The staff were nice and the insides felt like a traditional Italian joint. Everything I had was fresh and delicious! I didn't bother waiting for dinner and just finished it when I got home. Italian Sub: a grinder with salami, cheese, lettuce, tomato on a crunchy and soft roll. Great for lunch. They make it out back, so let them know you want one while being tempted on your dessert options. Cannoli with custard : crunchy with a nice creamy filling. It was great, but lost out to its brother. Cannoli Sfogliatelle: this was a religious experience for me. The layers were crisp and crunchy. ASMR worthy. The filling was absolutely delightful. You need, not must, need to try one of these. If you don't like it, I'll question your culinary taste. :p

    What a surprise find! I was excited to try the Arancini and I was so glad we did. They were better than most in the Chicago area with lots of filling in a couple of peas. I would've like more peas I was told they are fresh fried every morning And heated up great when I got home. I added a little extra Romano cheese, but that's just me as a cheese lover. Also wanted to try the.Sfincuni it was a little different and salty. I thought the cookies were pretty expensive at $17 a pound so I didn't get any but I also got a.zepolli and it was very good. Ate them all also fast but I didn't get a picture.

    I came across this place through a mention by The Hungry Hound host, food writer & critic, Steve Dolinsky. He had talked about shops around Chicagoland that sell Sicilian pizza slices and I am always on the look out for them. So it was a no-brainer for me to check this place out. I got here between 2:30 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. The first I asked was what Sicilian slices they had and unfortunately to my luck, they were all sold out. That was a big bummer as I had set out to get them and really wanted to have one. The lady who helped said that usually they sell out after lunch time and my take away from that was that they probably don't make a whole lot and when they are gone, they are gone (unless they have the dough to prep and bake fresh ones). Anyway, I was determined to get something from there and not leave empty handed as I liked what I saw in their pastries selection. I ordered one of their Cassata Cake Slice, Sfogliatelle, Pasticciotti and Canneloni. All of these pastries were good and scrumptious. My favorites were the Canneloni and Sfogliatelle the most. They also sell homemade gelato and I tried a couple of flavors which were nice. But I wasn't in the mood for it so skipped it. I am dessert fan and love Italian pastries among others so I left a happy camper despite the bummer of not getting the Sicilian slices. Plus, the service I received was good as well so that also helped leave as a happy camper and return someday soon for more of their delicious goodies. From what I saw here, in terms of their selection variety and price point, it is definitely a must visit place, especially, if you haven't been here before. It's a locally owned mom & pop type bakery shop. And they seem to have a loyal following which is well warranted. I highly recommend checking this shop out.

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.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are. We look forward to returning to Il Porcellino, to bask in that indescribable feeling of being in Italy again.

It's one of those places that you find yourself talking about long after the meal is over. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit. They pour what feels like a gallon of garlic butter over it, and somehow it's still never enough. It's rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.

I would say it's a romantic setting, a bit dark in the restaurant. Us old folks needed the table lamp to read the menu better. I had read good things about the meatballs and bread as an appetizer so we shared that. Five meatballs, I got two. I thought they should have been hotter but I still enjoyed them. The wife wasn't impressed. Not sure about the younger folks. We shared a bottle of Classico Chianti, Montescondo which was very good. Boyfriend had the braised beef short rib. He seemed to enjoy it. Daughter had gnocchi. Wifey had Bucatini Amatriciana while I ate penne bolognese. Wifey and I shared an order of chicken Parmesan. So much of it the kids took home almost half. The wife had wanted to get the tagliatelle carbonara but with certain ingredients. They weren't sure if they could do it since the sauce was already made. She switched to the Bucatini but the server came back later with the carbonara for her to enjoy on the house. They are very nice here. Daughter was given a celebration baby gelato she enjoyed by the restaurant. We ordered two tiramisu deserts. They were #$@& Hugh.
