Best Pizzerias in Blue Island

Ambiance is lively, fun, warm. Service was good. The pesto gnocchi and carbonara alone are worth going back for. We split the 24oz dry aged NY strip and very much enjoyed it, also a great value. The patata larda and sautéed mushroom sides were lackluster. Mushrooms cooked in scorched oil, not even a pinch of salt. Overall kind of disappointed with the sides. But we'll definitely be back for the pastas, maybe try the steak with the bitter green salad next time. Although we didn't try the pizza they looked and smelled delicious.

Great spot for family gatherings, took my parents for after Christmas lunch. The food and atmosphere was great.

Good food and good service. We were grateful to find a restaurant open on Christmas Day. Christmas Day was Wednesday and their Wednesday specials were $9.99 drinks and $12.99 pasta. I had the baked ziti off the $12.99 pasta menu. My husband had chicken Vesuvio. The food had really good flavor. We were also offered a salad with our meal for an extra dollar. The quality of salad was very good. I had the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I ate every drop of the salad. As an appetizer, we had calamari. Again very good we will definitely come back.

Love Pizzeria Portofino's riverfront location & we were seated on the enclosed "patio" which was very nice but a little chilly. Also a bit loud. But the cocktails & food more than made up for that. I highly recommend the limoncello spritz - it's amazing! We had charred pepperoni pizza, vodka pasta pasta, octopus & arugula salad. All were good but the pizza was the star of our meal. Our server was excellent. We'll be back without a doubt.

Love the holiday lights and decor!! 🎄🤩Great food, service and value for our family dinner before ZooLights.
