Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Logan Square

Phenomenal experience. From the moment my guest and I walked in we were treated with the upmost respect and attention. We had reservations and did not have to wait at all for a table. My server, Ashley, was so personable and knowledgeable about the menu. I enjoyed her company and conversation. Service was swift and the food was impeccable. I had the “Duplex burger” which had this amazing aioli sauce on it. Along with two cocktails, the “Care bear” and “Blind monkey” both strong and sweet. The ambiance is breathtaking with so many aspects conceptualizing the attention to detail both owners have given to the establishment. The setting is intimate, the playlist is immaculate and the overall experience is one you’ll remember and want to revisit anytime you’re in the area.

I recently dined at Pizza Portofino, and I was beyond impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, with every bite bursting with fresh, authentic flavors. The pizza had the perfect balance of a crisp crust, rich sauce, and high-quality toppings. What really stood out, though, was the staff—they were amazing! From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly, attentive, and incredibly quick. Our food arrived much faster than expected, and the service was seamless throughout the meal. If you’re looking for a great dining experience with fantastic food and top-notch service, Pizza Portofino is the place to go!

I made my reservation in December for Valantine Day. I ask for a special table. I was told they would try to accommodate me. I had no problem with that. What I am mad about is that the sat us at the smallest table in the restaurant. I did say something and did not get a response from anyone. This is not a Lettuce type management deal. I top of that a table next to us kept increasing the volume of talking louder. The other table was fine. We eat at Lettuce restaurants all the time. Management and service always concerned about their client's well-being.

Service was outstanding, especially considering our reservation was at 9pm and the staff was working the dinner service for many hours. Unbelievably service oriented. Food was exceptional, as always. The place was packed, and as a result the decibel level was high. It was expensive, but we really enjoyed being taken care of on the night before Valentine’s Day.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Joshua, our server, was phenomenal and had great recommendations. The grilled broccolini salad was mind-blowing! The atmosphere within the restaurant was personal and warm. It was not too loud or too quiet. Every table has a gorgeous view of the city and river. Definitely a splurge experience, but so worth it.
