   Restaurant was empty on a Friday evening in downtown SoNo and food was nothing special. I felt like I could have just made the food myself. Staff was hospitable but did not speak English or know the Italian names of the items on menu.

   As we were going to be in S-Norwalk/SONO, I decided to book a table at Quartina. We were there relatively early, at 6:30p, and not many tables were occupied. Unfortunately I must say that we were really disappointed with the service. Either the three people serving were all brand-new, or just had no clue about service. It is not that they were not nice or did not try, but... We saw water being poured into the wine glasses (and yes, the water glass looked like a wine glass as well); water was spilled onto our table and onto my daughter's cell-phone; we received two new and one old menu and when I asked which was the correct menu, I was initially told they were all the same; they forgot to give us the menu with the specials; we were ready to order, but no one noticed for quite some time (I had to signal); we saw the chef (owner) getting impatient and heard him raise his voice (open kitchen) to his staff and when I asked for the check, I got my card and the receipt to sign, yet I did not get a pen. I am pretty easy going, so we took it all in stride. RE the food, our appetizers were presented very nicely and we really liked them (Burrata). Our main courses (Gnocchi alla "Sorrentina", Chicken Parmigiana & Spaghetti "Alla Cinque") were good, but I have had better. I feel I should give them a second chance, but then again...

   Great dinner on a Sunday night with my wife. The food was delicious authentic Italian food with fresh, quality ingredients. The owner was very gracious and made us feel at home. Coffee and a terrific ricotta cheesecake was the perfect ending to a two and a half hour feast!

   We had a wonderful lunch at Quartina Trattoria, to celebrate my birthday. The chef and owner was so welcoming and warm, and the food was delicious and served in a very special way. The fish was served on a beautiful large decorative plate, and one of the pastas was mixed in front of us, in a large cylinder of cheese. It was very unique and special. We can't wait to return for another meal soon!

   Disappointed with the linguine with clam sauce. The sauce was flavorful but the large sized clams were very tough. One waiter seemed to be servicing the whole restaurant.

   Quartina has been a favorite since it opened, but the variability in crowds, weather, and staffing has occasionally been a bit of a letdown. However, Quartina appears to be hitting on all cylinders lately. The dinner was excellent - appetizers of beet salad and prosciutto & melone were super fresh and artistically presented. Main courses of past and sweet sausage, and a mushroom pasta arabiatta dish were wonderful and properly sized. Dessert of gelatos was perfect. Wine selection, left to the owner, was tops (a Tenuta Pinot Grigio). Find your way there, especially when Quartina has live entertainment (usually a trio singing/playing songs from the home country).
