Located in the section of the city labeled “Restaurant Row”, Il Portico is truly one of Philadelphia’s undiscovered treasures. Its menu items, made with ingredients imported straight from Italy, are a combination of Jewish and Italian influence.
The friendly, genuinely Italian wait staff dressed in formal attire has a vast knowledge of the restaurants cuisine, including dishes not on the menu, and the deep burgundy décor and dangling crystal chandelier set a romantic mood in the elegant dining room.
