The food here is great with good ambience. And a very convenient location in downtown. We had the vodka sauce pasta and margherita pizza. The pasta was cooked to perfect al dente and it was so saucy and creamy. The pizza tasted very fresh with a good crunch on the crust. And the tiramisu is a must-have!! It’s very delicious with a deep coffee flavor and sweet creamy texture. Our waitress Tara is the sweetest and she made sure everything is perfect! We had a very good time! I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re celebrating!
The sights, smells and tastes will welcome you to Italy inside the Windy City. The service was excellent and the freshly made food scrumptious. The option of ordering half plates made it easy to share family style! Three of us were pleasantly full after sharing the Sliced Gibsons Australian Strip Steak served with broccolini, grape tomatoes and onions; the Tuscan Sausage Risotti and Orecchetti. The freshly baked bread, of course, paired well with all dishes. Nice selection of wines and unique cocktails.
Food was amazing! As a college student, getting the chance to get out and eat such delicious food was a dream! Everything is made fresh by order and the ambiance was phenomenal. Fernando was a wonderful server! We ordered the Spaghetti, Gnocchi, Shrimp Diavolo, Bruschetta, and Cappuccino! I personally just added a bit of salt but this place was amazing and I would definitely recommend to anyone!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Lunch at Quartino! Stopped in for lunch at Quartino on State Street and had an outstanding experience. The table bread alone was a great start — warm, flavorful, and even better with the fun assortment of cheeses, balsamic, and olive oil they provide. I ordered the arugula salad and the San Daniele arugula pizza, and both were excellent. The salad was incredibly refreshing, packed with farm-fresh ingredients and great texture from the nuts and citrus. The pizza was the real standout — absolutely loaded with toppings, with silky prosciutto, plenty of fresh arugula, and a perfectly airy, flavorful dough that really impressed me. Great atmosphere, great service, and top-quality food. I’ll definitely be back!
As a guy travelling alone, I was recommended this spot by someone so I thought I’d check it out right away. I was offered a seat in the bar area of the restaurant as a walk-in at 8pm on a Friday night which was lucky as there were plenty folk waiting for a table in the dining area at the same time. I sat at the bar where I met Shannon who was about 90% of what made this place so special. She was a brilliant bartender, with a personality that equalled her skills as a waitress. She took the time to talk me through lots of food and drink options and even gave me a taster of a digestivo which was really kind. I ate a veal meatball slider and the tortellini with pea and prosciutto. Both dishes were so tasty and brought out super fast from the kitchen. My company at the bar were great and I got chatting to Chicago locals on both sides which as a Brit abroad I appreciated a lot! All in all I had a great evening at this restaurant and would highly recommend.
