    This is my go to for a quick or leisurely meal whenever I'm in Crystal Lake. My local Portillo's does not have a Barnelli's, which is annoying but a good thing for my waistline. They have the best pasta of any fast food restaurant and it's a a nice option to the sandwiches, hot dogs, and beef options. Favorites: The Pesto Chicken & Mushrooms is my favorite among their pasta dishes. Every time I get it, it has a very good amount of both mushrooms and chicken in it. The flavor is very good and it's not a heavy meal. But it's huge! Great for leftovers. Fettuccine Carbonara, ah the delight of indulgence! If you're looking for a healthy option, this is not it but it's amazing! The smokey cream sauce is very good (lots of butter, depressing if you warm up leftovers) and the bacon adds a wonderful additional richness to the dish. If you're not calorie counting, get this! The classic, the staple, their Fettuccine Alfredo is also quite good. While I tend to order the above referenced dishes, fettuccine alfredo is what I use to measure restaurants and their version is very good. The cream sauce is fairly basic but to some degree that's what you should be looking for in this dish so in that it does not disappoint. In all, I love the pasta options at Portillo's. They are great alternatives to hot dogs or Italian beef. Expect a bit of a wait for the pasta but it's worth it.

    When I'm craving a good pasta dish that's on the Italian side, this joint tops most places. Incredible portion sizes. The Chicken El Diavlo, Chicken Siciliano, and Chicken Pram are my favorite pastas here.

    Had dinner there yesterday, food was ok. We didn't realize it was a fast food restaurant. They got my Meal wrong had to wait forever, wife was almost finished by the time I got mine. Won't go back. I like the Greeks at Crystal Point.

    Our meal was just ok. This is a fast food atmosphere we would not have chosen. My husbands lasagna was scorched and the Caesar salad was not like one we had before. It had egg and tomatoes added to it. A true fast food atmosphere. Will not return.

    Sick of the old burgers-n-fries routine? Yeah, me too. Masticiolli (sp?) in vodka sauce.... yum. Love getting it with a meatball or two and that nice fresh bread that comes with it just makes it even better. Just a friendly warning, you'd better be hungry if you order all this food! They will give you an extra bread free if you ask for it ;) Remember to ask for a little bit of fresh cheese grated over your pasta dish or salad when you pick it up. The other nice thing is, unlike Portillo's, you can get free refills on your giant soft-drink.

    I love their fresh pasta dishes and salads here. Always great service. Loved the spicy pasta dish, but the name escapes me. Huge portions.

    Inside Portillos which I love and Hate because I never know what choice to make. This place is on the healthier side of fast food. Great salads and the chicken parmesan sandwich is awesome because they pound out the chicken.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
