Our downtown date, dinner was at Il Porcellino.
My first impression on Yelp was a nice looking atmosphere and not too expensive. They have a good reviews on Yelp too👍

You can access to their website above to reserve a table. The restaurant is located on the River North side.
We haven’t had Italian for a long time so it was a good chance 😆 We had a plan after sunset so got our table reserved at 4pm for early dinner/happy hour 🥰
When we enter the restaurant, sure it is! How beautiful their decorations are ✨
We were the first customer of the day looks like lol
The waiter was friendly and well knowledged about the menu and drinks.
And yeah, we always do this… Order just too many and take home leftovers 😅 Even while on traveling hahaha
Cappuccino 
Specially made in Italy for Il Porcellino 
36 Hour Pork Chop Parmesan 
Spicy Scampi Spaghetti 
Green Chopped Salad 
Whole Loaf Garlic w/ black truffles 
Prime Beef Meatballs
I would say the waiter was so good at explaining food and we couldn’t resist but ordered all of his recommendations lol
Gosh so mouth melting pork chop was the best I’ve had in my life (I mean if I exclude my husband’s dish) 👍👍👍 and you must try their garlic bread!!!
Surely, EVERYTHING was amazing and highly recommended 😆
