Portillo’s Italian Bowl Kcal, Price and Nutrition
Portillo’s Italian Bowl menu offers a deliciously modern take on classic Italian flavors, served in a convenient, satisfying bowl format. Each Italian Bowl is built to deliver big flavor, starting with a base of Portillo’s signature crinkle-cut fries or pasta. It’s then topped with tender, slow-roasted Italian beef or savory Italian sausage or a combination of both for a protein-packed punch. Finished with a rich drizzle of savory au jus, every bowl can be customized with sweet peppers, spicy hot giardiniera, or both, bringing just the right amount of heat and tang.
