Il Portico, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Restaurant Details

Food:

The food and service was out of this world. Not only did I enjoy the dining, I enjoyed the bar also. Everyone was very friendly and made my time very enjoyable!

Food:

The food was excellent. The service was top notch. My gnocchi melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the lamp chops, which were superb. The bartender also made an Il Portico special martini which was delicious. We were there for our 20th anniversary and the atmosphere was wonderful. I would highly recommend the restaurant to others.

Food:

This place was very good. I had hand made tagliolini pasta with a brandy cream sauce with salmon. Justifiably excellent, without being overwhelmingly amazing.

Food:

The worst meal I've had in a long time. First we were ignored, then they got our order wrong, then the waiter blamed it on the chef after already admitting that he got it wrong. Then the food tasted bland, my sister almost got sick on the seafood, the waiter tried to upsell me on the wine list and criticized my sister's wine choice (which is nuts since she knew the wine), and then more of the food was messed up. Sound bad? It's not even close to as bad as it really was. The saving grace was that they didn't charge us for the messed up order and the experience was so incredibly bad we couldn't stop laughing. In a city known for good Italian this is one to stay away from.
