Ramen-San Lincoln Park

Restaurant
Il Porcellino
Il Porcellino is one of the best italian restaurants in Chicago for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.
Il Porcellino occupies a warm stretch of River North with the kind of room that does real work before a dish arrives — exposed brick, a glowing bar, and a retractable roof at the back that, when Chicago's weather cooperates, opens the space into something closer to a half-garden terrace.
