Il Porcellino, located in the heart of River North in downtown Chicago, is a neighborhood restaurant offering classic Italian-American comfort food in a casual setting. The old-school menu focuses on housemade pastas, vegetable antipasti and daily specials, all crafted with the freshest ingredients. The approachable wine list showcases exceptional Italian and American wines with a focus on Chianti and expressions of Sangiovese. The cocktail program features Italian-inspired craft cocktails, including four variations of the classic Negroni.
