Cool place and pretty good Italian food. Small plates so you can order more dishes and share. The waitress in the bar area could have been better
Michael HelveyAugust 10, 2016
Rib was incredible. Everything was incredible. Finish it off with the chocolate fondue or chocolate gelato.

Pasta dishes are quite good. In the evening, Quartino can be quite loud and crowded. I prefer the lunch hour when it is more tranquil and relaxing.

Nice atmosphere. Great veal meatballs. The appetizer portion is more than enough for dinner with a side salad.

Affordable Italian, and a good vibe. Waiters are in Italian soccer jerseys!

Bring a big group of loud-talking friends with appetites, and order to share. Start with a carafe of the Nebbiolo.

Ate here a second time. The service was great. Recommend the calamari and the ravioli. The cocktails are okay, stick to wine.

Prosciutto wrapped dates are a must as well as the veal meatballs made with the homemade ricotta & basil.
Karen L.July 16, 2012
I do respect any Italian restaurant that keeps the kitchen open until 0100 on Sunday 0200 on weekends. Good pizza and pasta, Great downtown location. Great environment.

Quaint little spot we just happened to stumble upon the day of their grand opening!! Outside terrace was really nice & the portions are just enough to compliment an adult beverage or two ;)))

Ask for server Ryan W. Or bartender Will. Amazing food. Pizza and bacon wrapped dates are my favorites.
Kristina SarićMarch 1, 2019
Calamari, Caesar salad, & chocolate cake is good. Risotto is just okay 3.5/3.75 out of 5 stars.

Try the Panino al Gelato Limone - Lemon cream gelato sandwich with lemon curd, whipped cream, & lemon chips. Amazing dessert; the best I've had in a while.
Rustem BilyalovFebruary 23, 2017
That was awesome experience in this plaece we recommend. The check was 100$ for 3 of us including wine for 5$ a cup.

Amazing spot for big family-style group dinners or celebrations. Great food and service.
Mark MunroOctober 6, 2017
Solid wine list, great tortellini and bruschetta. Ask for the Parmesan cheese grater!
Teresa SabatineMay 7, 2012
Oh my gosh order the chocolate cake and the donuts then take the chocolate sauce from the donuts and poor it on your chocolate cake. Yes I said it
Linda AlexanderMay 1, 2014
Food is good but too salty. Prices are reasonable; pizza is a good bet. Wine was good. It is loud--family style dining, so go with someone you know well.

Penne a la vodka and rigatoni are my favorites! Grab a bottle of wine and some delicious Italian small plates!
DaniDecember 8, 2019
Delicious pasta and pizzas, handmade and not “pretentious” dishes
Stephanie SheppardAugust 14, 2011
Can't go wrong, but tortellini and short ribs are to die for. Tiramisu isn't on the dessert menu, but they've had it and it's delicious!

Can't say enough good things about the veal meatballs, bolognese, and wine. Jarell, our server, was 100% on point. We're coming back, every week!
Linda FelterDecember 18, 2014
So great for groups. Who doesn't love Italian small plates and good house wine to share?!?

Calamari is a Go to for Appetizer. You can't lose on any of the thin crust pizza selections.
Alison DeBenedictisJune 29, 2018
Prosciutto wrapped dates & Salumeria platter were delicious and perfect to share

Rob, this is our favorite place by our old apt. Try the salumeria tasting with the eggplant salad, duck prosciutto and taleggio for sure. Calamari also basic and excellent.
Beverly WilburnJuly 27, 2013
just enjoy the charcuterie and cheese,and of course a great wine. The grapefruitcello is yum!

Taylor LongMay 16, 2013
Everything I had was amazing; Prosciutto wrapped dates, veal meatball slider, carpaccio, bolognese.

Service is slow, but probably best food for the price in Chicago. Ambiance is also great!

The orecchiette pasta with fennel-sausage ragu was very tasty!
jiresellNovember 20, 2015
Was here for a hospitality event. The food was served family style and was very good.
Morgan MillerDecember 13, 2011
Four words: Dates wrapped in pancetta. A must order as a starter paired with a dirty martini. Perfect start to a night out.
Jorge OrtizSeptember 2, 2014
The eggplant parm is the best thing on the menu. Out of this world!

Garlic bread isn't on the menu but ask them to make it for you. It is the best garlic bread you will ever have.

Good italian food, good service, not expediting. Terrace is a good place to eat.
Alex Lazo VasquezDecember 18, 2014
4 fromage pizza is excellent. Nice beer selection as well. Its always packed.
irollerApril 12, 2015
Like to eat from clean dishes? It's not your place. Everything is dirty after dishwasher and they're not very happy to replace it when you ask.
