Portillo’s & Barnelli’s Chicago is the perfect destination for anyone craving classic American comfort food with an Italian twist. Located at 100 W Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60654, USA - within walking distance of many popular attractions in downtown Chicago - it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The Portillo’s Chicago hot dog is an absolute delight! The snap of the natural-casing hot dog, paired with the sweetness of the relish and onions, creates a flavor combination that will leave you wanting more. And let’s not forget the pop of spice from the sport peppers - it adds just the right amount of kick to each bite. As I took my first bite, I was transported back to the bustling streets of Chicago, where this classic dog has been a staple for decades. The flavors are bold and unapologetic, making every bite an unforgettable experience.

The French fries at Portillo’s are cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I loved how they were served hot, with just enough salt to bring out their natural sweetness. Whether you’re a fan of classic ketchup or try something new like their signature BBQ sauce, these fries will satisfy your cravings every time.

I’m not sure what’s more impressive - the taste of the Apple at Portillo’s or its stunning presentation. Thinly sliced and served with a dollop of whipped cream, this dessert is both elegant and indulgent. The sweetness of the apple pairs beautifully with the tanginess of the cream, leaving you feeling like you’re treating yourself to something truly special.

Portillo’s has a lively and bustling atmosphere, with a mix of casual seating areas and tables. The restaurant appears to be popular among locals and tourists alike, judging by the crowded dining area and long lines visible in the background.
