Solid spot.

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Vanessa B. on 09/18/2025

We live around the corner and have gone a few times. There's typically always a wait and the bar is pretty hard to get to because it's relatively small. There's typically always staff isn't necessarily too friendly or accommodating, but I get it there's no need to be I guess--this is a hotspot and if the weather is nice for a boat day, forget about it. My girl loves the aperol spritz and the salmon entre. I think the pizza is good, not the best I've had. The views are worth the steep prices.

One of our first stop when we were visiting and so glad we decided on it. Excellent location with beautiful view riverside and if you can and it's an option check out the patio as you get a view of the Chicago River and skyline. Interior is also stunning. I had RSVP a few weeks prior and when we were 3 hrs away and our eta was much later than expected I had called to inform them that we were running behind and they were extremely accommodating given how busy they were We enjoyed everything about this. The food was excellent the service was amazing and the view was outstanding We ordered: Meatball & Ricotta Pizza - the dough was cooked perfectly for us (we prefer extra time in the oven) and it didn't feel too heavy Rigatoni vodka pasta - delicious!! noodles were cooked perfectly the sauce wasn't super heavy and flavor was just right. Hubby likes this but he does prefer it to be a bit more saltier Overall - highly recommended, excellent experience and great for date night or group outings

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Derrick C. on 09/13/2025

If you're looking for a beautiful view of the city while having a nice dinner, i'd recommend Pizzeria Portofino. We had a reservation for outdoor seating. The service was ok, we had to constantly look for our server and get her attention. She checked on us one time when we got our meal and we didn't see her until we were done. She wasn't very accommodating with one of the pastas that we ordered, she lacked knowledge on what type of sauces she could substitute or recommend on a pasta as one from our party isn't a fan of red sauce or big on their pesto pasta. The Mushroom Garlic pizza was EVERYTHING! Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The drinks were strong and also tasted great. However, I ordered an espresso martini from the dessert portion of the menu. It was $17 for the martini and lacked alcohol for that price. Would recommend but I wouldn't go into this restaurant with high standards as you're really just paying for the view at this point.

1/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Carol S. on 09/07/2025

I was very disappointed in the event I had at Pizzeria Portofino yesterday. The table placement was nothing like the picture that was sent when I booked my event. Instead, my guest looked at a wall and vent and not the river. I specifically choice this restaurant for the view of the river. There was also a table set up right next to us after we arrived and seemed to be crammed in at the last minute. We watched BRIDE balloons be attached to the chairs which hit into my guests. Only after I expressed my concerns were they removed. Decorations I dropped off the night before the event were was not used yet it was made sure the table that was next to ours had all of there decorations. Not once did our event coordinator introduce herself to me but fawned over the table that was set up last minute to accommodate a group. As the host, I was embarrassed at our treatment.

Fine print at the bottom of the menu mentions that the restaurant adds a surcharge of 3.5%, but that it can be taken off if asked. When we received our bill, we asked our waiter what it was for. He didn't have an answer (which was weird) but was quick to remove it. Other than that, food was great! We sat on the water and loved every moment of it!

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Cassandra B. on 09/06/2025

It was hard to get a reservation because it stays booked. Luckily a spot opened up and we confirmed it. It was about a 9 min walk from where we were staying. It's located right on the river. Really nice location! The food was delicious. We started with the the Caesar salad and it was definitely enough to share. Next, we ordered the Italian sausage and Fennel pizza. It. It did not disappoint! I would gladly suggest this restaurant to anybody looking for a nice spot to have pizza and wine. Just a FYI, if you don't want to take the stairs down to the restaurant, they have an elevator for your convenience.

The watermelon feta salad was really refreshing and light. Didn't much care for the cacio e Pepe (added chicken which was dry) but we asked for some chili flakes and more Parmesan on the side which made it better. Gorgeous interior too.

They are very rude to customers

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @ekobarlas on 08/15/2025

I reserved a table for four for my wifeโ€™s birthday. Miss Claudia texted me 3 days before our reservation and told me they will celebrate my wifeโ€™s birthday all. Miss Claudia, Please do not send e mails full of promises that you can not keep. We entered to the restaurant 15 minutes before our reservation, we asked our table to the lady at the entrance, Ms Crystal, with a very rude way , she told us to step aside and wait till our exact reservation time. We were shocked with the attitude, few minutes later she told us in a very rude way to wait away from her desk!!! My strong suggestion to the management team to watch this ladyโ€™s attitude towards customers. She is not smiling, not greeting and not welcoming the guests. Sorry Ms crystal, you are not belong to hospitality industry. On the other side our waiter Jakob, he is fantastic. Very kind, helpful and knows how to treat to guests. Thank you Jakob.

Great view. Poor service.

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Nancy H on 08/08/2025

Each year for the past 5 years we have eaten at Pizzeria Portofino and it has gone downhill. The location is absolutely amazing. Watching the river traffic is cool. We saw our server three times and it took forever to get a water refill. The spritzer tasted like club soda with a tad bit of lemon juice and definitely not a lot of alcohol. We reserved a seat on the patio 4 weeks in advance of our visit and the 3 of us were shoved into a little corner. They make a lot of room for traffic along the balcony for standing room only so your view is blocked. If you order the big block of ice for your drink (my husband had a bourbon), the upcharge is $4 and they donโ€™t tell you this! We are normally 25% tippers but our server received 15%.

Valet parking -- and boat docking, too

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Taylor B on 05/15/2025

Leave it to Lettuce Entertain You to come up with a new gimmick -- and it isn't even on the menu. LEY, the Chicago-based nation-wide restaurant chain, not only offers valet parking at its Pizzeria Portofino but it also features first-class boat docking on the Chicago River. Located at 317 North Clark Street, between Clark Street and Dearborn Street, in the bustling River North neighborhood, Pizzeria Portofino is a chic Italian eatery with a riverfront terrace and patio and a menu filled with pizza, pasta, grilled seafood and wines imported from Italy or made from locally sourced ingredients. Open from 11:30 to 9 Monday through Thursday and 11:30 to 9:30 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it begs the question: Is there any challenge in the ultra competitive culinary wars that LEY is afraid to accept? Not hardly. Whether it's steaks or seafood or burgers or pizza or pasta, R.J. Melman's LEY empire, founded in 1971, has over 120 restaurants and 60 different concepts from coast to coast. Pizzeria Portofino is one of Melman's newest and freshest creations. I don't have a boat but the second I noticed Mediterranean Branzino and profiteroles on the menu, I knew I had come to the right place. I started with roasted garlic bread wit parmesan garlic butter and rosemary, prime beef meatballs with basil, parmigiana and pomodoro sauce and Romaine Caesar Salad with Romaine lettuce, croutons and Amalfi lemon vinaigrette. Love the Mediterranean Branzino with marinated artichokes, frisee and salmosiglio. For dessert, profiteroles really hit the spot. You rarely see profiteroles on a restaurant menu. Pizzeria Portofino's version, with hazelnut and white chocolate mousse, is outstanding. So is everything else.

One Bad Apple!!!

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Dafina D on 05/13/2025

My family took our mom to Pizzeria Portofino for Motherโ€™s Day and soon regretted it. One of our appetizers was significantly delayed (we later learned it went to the wrong table). Because we did not see our server, we stopped the first server to walk by to inform her of the delay. She couldnโ€™t be bothered and she kept walking and quipped with a snarky reply that our server would take care of us. I watched her proceed to walk past our server with no communication whatsoever. So I got up to remind our server of the appetizer that we ordered, to which she agreed to look into. As I was talking to her, the rude server (Adriana) walked up and I told her that I did not appreciate her attitude. A manager immediately interjected and tried to smooth things over. Unfortunately, that included making excuses for Adrianaโ€™s rude behavior. After that, my entree was so delayed that my family completely finished their meals before mine had arrived. A second manager came to the table to apologize and proceed to make excuses for Adrianaโ€™s rude behavior earlier. I expressed concern over managementโ€™s inclination to make excuses as a bigger problem with the culture of the restaurant. That seemed to resonate with the manager (Anna) and her apology began to feel genuine, rather than performative. A manger had previously offered to comp our apps and my meal, which, while very much appreciated, still did not sit right with us because of the constant attempts to excuse Adrianaโ€™s behavior. But, in the end, Anna continued the dialogue, which felt much more authentic. Kudos to Anna and the other manager (I didnโ€™t get their name), but Adriana has no business in hospitality! There is way too much competition for good food in Chicago!

Had a wonderful meal started with a quality mozzarella appetizer, followed by some tasty and well-crafted Neapolitan style pizzas, and ended with a tasty dessert Profiteroles Bianco. Our server Lydia brought everything together perfectly while never letting a drink get close to empty or failing to check in regularly to ensure our meal was exceeding expectations.

Amazing Food & Friendly Staff

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Greg K on 12/14/2024

I brought a group of 15 work colleagues here last weekend, and let me just sayโ€”it completely lived up to the hype! This spot has been on our must-try list for a while, and Iโ€™m so glad I finally made the reservation. From the moment we walked in, I could tell we were in for an incredible evening. The service was top-notchโ€”attentive, friendly, and so genuinely welcoming. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. We kicked things off with a variety of appetizers, and the calamari was perfectly crispy and flavorful, while the meatballs were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The Caesar salad, pizzas, vodka pasta, and chicken piccata were all crowd-pleasers, each dish prepared with obvious care and bursting with flavor. We wrapped up the night with the tiramisu, and wowโ€”it was the perfect sweet finale to an unforgettable meal. The ambiance of this riverside gem is just as impressive as the food: cool, relaxed, and full of great energy. If youโ€™re looking for a place that checks all the boxesโ€”amazing food, stellar service, and a vibe thatโ€™s just rightโ€”this is it. Donโ€™t hesitate to book a table here; youโ€™re going to love it!

River Ambiance

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Clay G on 08/27/2024

Iโ€™ve been told Pizzeria Portofino is one of the harder reservations to get so we braved the heat to come here on a Monday evening. We sat at the beautiful riverfront patio which looks towards the Loop. For starters, we tried the parmesan fries and the strawberry bruschetta. The bruschetta feels almost like a dessert item but the richness of the strawberry was delicious. The fries were also fantastic. Next, I had the pepperoni pizza. It was pretty good but didnโ€™t shine the same way the starters did. I wouldโ€™ve liked a little more substance to my crust but it was delicious nonetheless. For drinks, we had the River North and the Amalfi. They were both very refreshing but the River North was more my style. Unfortunately, the Portofino purses were broken, so I guess I will have to come back and try it some other time.

3/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Hannah G. on 07/24/2024

I made a reservation for my birthday ahead of time for an outdoor table or window table, but received neither. Also, this spot had A LOT of big groups and unfortunately our server seemed to care more about the large groups than our small party of 2. We started with the daily special of Peaches & Burrata with Ciabatta bread. We also shared the Rigatoni Vodka. Both of these dishes were excellent and we would come back just for these two things! However, we ordered the Meatball & Ricotta pizza. I could only have one slice of the pizza it was SO spicy. My fiance who is enjoys spicy food even said it was too spicy for him. When we told our waiter about this, he said he "should have warned us" about it ahead of time, but didn't care enough to take it off the bill even with more than half of the pizza uneaten. I appreciated ending the night off with a free dessert. I'm not sure if it was the one slice of spicy pizza, but the next day my stomach was in knots.

Highly recommend this place! I feel like this is one of the few places right on the river that is not insanely priced. the views sitting outside right on the river are unmatched in the summer time. We came at 9:30pm and this place was still packed. We started with the Caesar salad and the garlic aioli fries. The salad was fresh and crispy with the cheese on top it was a game changer. The fries came out right away and were a little cold but were still tasty. We then got the charred pepperoni pizza. It was a delicious oven fired pizza with a crispy crust. All of this food was the perfect amount for 2 people to split. Overall this place is worth the hype and in a great scenic spot on the river right in the heart of Chicago. The food for the price and location is a steal! We paid about $150 for everything including tip and 4 drinks. I would recommend this place for a date night or a night out with friends/family from out of town.

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Oren F. on 03/01/2024

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.

Great spot.

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Vanessa C. on 02/14/2024

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 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.

We went for lunch on a weekend.

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Kanan D. on 02/05/2024

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.

1/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Tracy G on 12/27/2023

Worst service ever. Heaters were blaring; I asked four times to please adjust and had to beg. Our son, on his 18th birthday didnโ€™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

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Nuha K 56 on 10/26/2023

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

3/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Matt M on 10/09/2023

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

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @TorontoTOtraveller on 09/17/2023

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.

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!

Well-lit Abercrombie & Fitch vibes

3/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Katelyn on 07/15/2023

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.

Connect with users posting reservations for Pizzeria Portofino Chicago

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Pizzeria Portofino Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pizzeria Portofino Chicago at 6 PM the same day.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pizzeria Portofino Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Pizzeria Portofino Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.

4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $5 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pizzeria Portofino Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
