Trattoria Porretta Ristorante Pizzeria and Catering

“The review is simple for their green peppers on their pizza.”

The review is simple for their green peppers on their pizza. Finally a place that uses peppers that are cooked before being put on the pizza !! They are so tasty and oily but in a good way. I’m assuming these are the peppers they use on the pepper and egg sandwich. I hateeeee when places use raw veggies cause u get watery disappointment.

“We love this place.”

We love this place! My family and I have been coming here for over 15 years! The food is great. My very favorite is a grilled seafood platter with spinach and garlic. My next favorite dish is penne pasta with vodka sauce plus I add grilled shrimp. So so good 👍 Pizza is really good as well. Homemade tiramisu is outstanding!

“Oh, you want to hear about a true neighborhood gem? Let me tell you about Trattoria Porretta...”

Oh, you want to hear about a true neighborhood gem? Let me tell you about Trattoria Porretta Ristorante Pizzeria and Catering! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a cozy atmosphere that just feels like home. But the real magic happens when the food arrives – it's authentically Italian and absolutely delicious! Their pizza is truly amazing, with a crust that strikes that perfect balance between crispy and chewy, and toppings that taste incredibly fresh. But beyond the pizza, you absolutely must try the Bone-in Grilled Pork Chops Vesuvio. The name itself hints at something special, and the flavor delivers in spades! And speaking of special, my wife can't get enough of the Grigliata Di Pesce. The seafood is always so fresh and perfectly grilled, it's her go-to every time we visit. To top it all off, their homemade Tiramisu is the perfect sweet ending to any meal – light, creamy, and bursting with flavor. What truly elevates the experience at Trattoria Porretta is the staff. They are super friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and it shines through in their service. My whole family wholeheartedly recommends Trattoria Porretta. It's a fantastic local spot serving up truly authentic Italian cuisine with a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you're looking for a wonderful meal and a great experience, look no further!

John & Gabriela are owners who care about their customers dearly! The food was incredible! The ambience is old world Italian settings with Frankie and Dean singing in the background! Highly recommended if you want that Chicago experience (the olive oil & bread) with a taste of Italy! 10 stars if I could!! Mangiare & Buona petite!!!!

“Friendly neighborhood Italian.”

Friendly neighborhood Italian. The owners are right there in the dining room, seating and serving. The rigatoni Boscaiola is outstanding. It comes with warm bread and a small salad. The house dressing is pretty tasty.

“This place is wonderful.”

This place is wonderful. I love supporting small businesses. This is definitely that. You can tell they care about what comes out of their kitchen. Everything was fresh and hand made. Great find. They have Pepsi products.

I didn't like the costumer service, they took forever to bring me a Pepsi and more bread, the food was good not excellent but good enough for what you are paying, if you want to visit a decent Italian place and don't throw a lot of money this is the right place to go, the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce were fantastic!

“I have heard alot of mixed reviews about the pizza here, so I finally ordered a pie.”

I have heard alot of mixed reviews about the pizza here, so I finally ordered a pie. I chose the "Sweet Heat" which is a pepperoni with spicy honey drizzled on top. Definitely more sweet than spicy. The crust complimented the sweetness very well. I could see myself dipping the crust into the spicy honey as a snack. Not my favorite pizza in the area, but I can see why they have a bunch of fans in the neighborhood. Saw a at least three delivery drivers carrying out alot of pizzas during my visit.
