Il Portico
$$-$$$$, Italian, Center City
User Rating: **** 3.6
Fodor's Review:
This elegant restaurant is next door to flashy Le Bec-Fin, so it doesn't get the attention it deserves. Service is excellent, as is the food: beef carpaccio, black tagliolini (long, flat pasta) with salmon in a brandy sauce, chicken breast stuffed with fontina cheese and Parma ham, and a simple pasta sautéed with broccoli and sausage. Some dishes are a bit pricey.

Last minute recommendation, good choice
Posted by Rick from Virginia Beach, VA on 4/17/06
Concierge recommended when Vetri would not even return a call for a reservation. It turned out to be a very good experience. Decor, dark, with staff in tuxedos. Great service and food. Everyone in the party had good things to say about each course.RATING: 3.6
