Il Porcellino: Cozy Italian Vibes in River North 🍝✨
📍 Il Porcellino 59 W Hubbard St #2, Chicago, IL 60654 This 4.7-star gem nails the rustic Italian vibe—moody lighting, checkered tablecloths, and pasta that’ll make you gesture wildly! 🍽️ What We Loved 🧄 Garlic Bread: Crusty outside + chewy inside—ordered twice by our table of 8! 🌶️ Spicy Scampi Pasta: Al dente noodles + chili flakes + plump shrimp = heaven. 🧀 Burrata Lasagna: Tomato-cream layers with bright acidity—share or regret. 🚫 Skip These 🐔 Chicken Parm: Snooze fest (dry + zero flair). ☕ Tiramisu: Sugar bomb with weird frosting (sacrilege!). 💡 Why It’s Great $30-35/person: Pastas > pricey entrees. Service: Chill but attentive—never rushed us. Group vibe: Loud, happy, and full of bread. #ChicagoItalian #RiverNorthEats #PastaLovers #DateNight #GroupDining
