Really fun place for a casual date or group dinner with some friends. The pre-appetizer thing is great. You order a bunch of olives, cheese, and cured meat for the table. Menu is a little bit of a minefield. Might take a few times to determine what you do and do not like. Pastas are good, pizzas are good, entrees... more

This place was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Enjoyed it so much that we ate here 3 times in five days. Twice for lunch and once for dinner.

This place will not fail to provide a great atmosphere or food. I had the sundried tomato soup, mushroom risotto, and chocolate gelato.

Had a great meal at Quartino. Loved the ambience with unique tables and chairs. Food was really hot - brought out as soon as it is out of the oven. Pizza was delicious. The Caprese salad was the best I've ever had. Don't miss the chocolate fondue with fresh fruit for dessert. Wonderful! more

Majority of the foods are good or unique, and very acceptable. Also, many of the wines on the list, even the glass wines, are very reasonable and nicely matched with various foods there. Really good deal ! more
