Quartino is a must when in Chicago. The food,service and atmosphere is superb. We started with the salumi salad. We had the tortellini and pappardelle braised beef pasta. They were both excellent the best I’ve had. You can taste authentic flavors and ingredients in there dishes. We ended with the Gran Coppa Quartino dessert.
Best place by far in alll of my trip in Chicago, the pesto gnocchi and margarita pizza was to die for. Spilled wine and they gave me some extra for free! Service is truly something else.
I really enjoyed the meal and it's in a nice looking restaurant. we were told sizes are big enough to share but definitely not. everything was good though!
We went to Quartino’s as a birthday dinner. I will admit, our experience didn’t start off great. We had an 8:30 reservation and had to wait about 35 minutes to get sat. We couldn’t sit outside due to a lack of servers I believe. Inside was very hot and loud, but that’s expected for an open kitchen layout on a Saturday night.
We got sat and could immediately notice our server, Julian I believe was his name, just got several tables all at once. The manager came over and was nice enough to get us started with drinks and explain the menu while we waited. We ordered a TON of half portions. It was so much food and every dish was better than the next. I highly recommend the slider, gnocchi, clams, and mussels.
Julian was absolutely fantastic. He made sure to constantly check up on us and even brought us over a little birthday sorbet (without singing thank god). Definitely will be requesting him out next time back in!

Great place to get Italian. Food was well made and tasted great. We sat inside and it felt a little stuffy - might’ve been due to dim lighting. Our server Latoya had great recommendations for us when we had questions about the menu and was overall amazing.
This Italian gem in Chicago will transport your taste buds to a world of shared flavors! With each plate costing around $15, you can savor a variety of delectable dishes with your loved ones.
The pizza dough is a divine creation that I'm almost certain has a cheese infusion, resulting in a heavenly combination of crunch, saltiness, and flavor. Don't miss out on the tiramisu—it's an absolute must-try!

This place surprised me!!! Amazing, good quality, family style Italian food! The place is very charming and the staff is very kind. They take true care of you when you’re there. Bread with Olive oil, Parmesan and balsamic to start and the food just got better with time. The food comes out as it’s made and it is all fresh ingredients and hot! Added bonus being the food being very affordable and generous portions- again family style. We ordered 3 dishes and a drink and payed around $50 for everything- TOGETHER! would highly recommend and will be going again on my next visit!!
The food was delectable & my server, Luke, was absolutely kind & gracious the entire time. I often worry going to a restaurant as a party of one that I won't get the same level of service that a larger table would get but Luke was incredibly attentive even through a remarkable rush that came in at the time of my reservation. He recommended some excellent dishes & let me know I could get half portions if I wanted to try a variety. I'd like to commend all of the staff for their calmness & professionalism during that rush at what was the end of the day for the kitchen. I will absolutely come here again next time I visit Chicago.
The only reason the atmosphere gets 4 stars is because my table was a bit close to the wall & to the tables directly to either side of mine. Due to not liking having my back to a main throughway, this meant I was a bit crowded in my seating location & couldn't easily get into or exit my seat. I didn't want to adjust the table because the only viable way for it to move was towards the main walkway which would impede the servers & bussers. As a disabled individual (its an invisible disability so staff would not have known & I didn't list it in my reservation) ease of accessibility in regards to my seating is something I regularly consider. I will likely try to return during a less busy time of day to mitigate this.
