"Lettuce Entertain You’s Il Porcellino exudes old-school charm with red and white checkered tablecloths, walls covered with pictures, and a giant menu filled with Italian American comfort food including their signature baked burrata lasagna, gnocchi bolognese, and penne tossed with pistachio pesto and parmesan. Start by splitting open a whole loaf of garlic bread covered with hot garlic butter at the table. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
