Editorial Review for Il Portico – by Lauren McCutcheon
In Short
Amid the flash and the bustle of Restaurant Row, this old-school Italian, with its mauve awning, dim interiors, tuxedoed waiters and beaded crystal chandeliers, is known predominantly as that place next door to Le Bec-Fin. Diners would be hard pressed to find a better beef carpaccio, a plate-sized and tissue-thin circle of sublime raw filet mignon. Even simple chicken breast is rendered divine in a rich mushroom reduction.

dont even waste your time! i asked "why it was empty in here, your on walnut street" and the server told its because the boss does't pay his employees...that was after i paid my bill for over priced over cooked food.

Pros: Quiet, Good Location
