About this business

Located along the Magnificent Mile, this lively tapas-style restaurant is aptly named, specializing in "Cheese, Swine & Wine," but also serving a large selection of pork-free options. The prices are reasonable, with most dishes under ten dollars, and there's an extensive wine list. Sit at the communal tables and share some delicious Mediterranean dishes at one of the top restaurants in the county.

I will eat here every night. Duck Liver pate, milk braised pork shoulder, salt roasted beets with whipped goat cheese and pistachio vinaigrette are spectacular. Eat at the bar for the best seat.

One of the best Restraunt's in town. We were there for little over 4 hrs and enjoyed every bit of it. Amazing cocktails ( kaluha shot & espresso with liquor) and awesome food ( pork shoulder , cured meat, calamari). To top it off the service was outstanding . Overall a great experience .

What a fantastic find for lunch as we walk around during our first time in Chicago! The pork shoulder and mashed potatoes are amazing!

We went with my 1 year old for dinner and even though they were busy and not necessarily a kid friendly spot, they got us right in and found a great out of the way spot for us with the high chair. Waiter was awesome, really knew his menu and gave us some great suggestions. Food was fantastic - the stuffed squid is a must try!

This was some of the best food I have put in my mouth. I have had bone marrow at Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc, and The Purple Pig's was better. The crispy pig ears with a quail egg and pickled onion was phenomenal! And the braised octopus was the most tender I have ever had. Be prepared for a wait, but know that it is worth it!
