Best Casual Restaurants in Humboldt Park

The cesar salad, rigatoni, and chicken parmesan was so delicious and perfect to share between two. The drinks were good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance and music selection made the experience so much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Very understanding when we were delayed. Service perfect. They did their best to accommodate my daughter who is a picky eater. We ordered the cocio d pepe, steak, cevpi, squash, stragiatella, and dessert. All were delicious. Often great restaurants end with a whimper and serve a dessert that does not stand up to the rest of the meal. The udon and pistachio gelato are next level. I would happily order these again and likely will.

Pizza Portofino went above and beyond for our family visiting Chicago from Ohio. We mistakenly did not consider the time change booking the reservation at home for 4:00pm arriving to Chicago looking for my reservation and it said 5:00pm. They did not even hesitate to help our party get seated within 10 minutes service amazing food with excellent service and we were out of there to get to our show in time. I can’t thank them enough for saving our amazing dinner at a restaurant. We visited several times now while we’re in Chicago. Will tell others about this amazing restaurant and be back when we visit again.

The chefs counter experience was incredible. I was mostly blown away by the food, every dish had so much depth to it and really amazing flavor. The service was great, drinks paired very well, and it was cool to learn the history to everything we ate. I would definitely recommend.

First time experience at Alla Vita. It was the perfect spot for lunch with my colleagues to toast the holidays. The atmosphere is festive, the food and service were incredible and the location was wonderful (easily accessible to the Loop via the CTA Pink Line). Can’t wait to go back with friends, soon.
