    Our server was I believe Lulu and she was amazing. The food was wonderful. Management nicely took a few items off of our bill because they didn't come out when they were supposed to. Other than the hostess saying the wait would be 5-10 minutes, for 20 minutes (even though we had a reservation). Everything was amazing. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    I booked a table for “now” on OpenTable but had to wait almost 30 minutes. Really not a great experience - if you suggest that tables are free, don’t make customers wait for so long. Asked to speak to the Manager who never showed up. Otherwise, I really like the place. Good food, good value, very energetic atmosphere (ie loud, but that is ok and expected).

    I've been a few times before and was expecting a similar experience. However, we had a reservation at 8:15 p.m. and didn't get seated until about 8:50 p.m. They were very busy, so we were lucky to find seats at the bar upstairs and order drinks while we waited. Once we were finally seated, we ordered an appetizer right away and didn't even get offered bread or water until after our appetizer came, and we had to ask for it and remind our waiter. At this point, we were just so hungry we put in our food order right away, and my food was up pretty fast, same with my mother's, but my husband's Alfredo took an extra 15 minutes to come out. Before it came out, we saw a manager walk by and figured we would ask him to check on it since our waiter didn't bother to stop by, but all he asked was what the food order was and how long we had been waiting when we said 10-15 he just responded with sounds about right and walked away to go check on it. Again, I've been here before, and most things come up within a few mins of each other. Since we were hungry, we started with out him and were more than halfway done with our food when his plate finally showed up. Luckily, we had another sever come check on us a few times after this, and he was very sweet and wanted to make sure we were okay since the manager didn't even bother to care or follow up neither did our server until we finished our food. Honestly, I was very disappointed in the service. On the bright side, the food is still great, but I will probably not pick this place for dinner anymore, especially on a special occasion like a birthday dinner, which was what we were there for.

    Three of us ordered the same dish, two of us got ours and the third person never got their plate until we had both been finished for 20 minutes. Server was aware of this issue and provided some complementary drinks, but the main issue was not acceptable. The dish that came an hour late was extremely salty and did not taste like the two dishes we had got on time. The waiter was also not attentive and very difficult to wave down. We arrived at 5:00 (dinner rush seemed to start at 6:00) so I don't think it was too much to ask for better service. This was our "second chance" for Quartino, as we had been here months prior and the food was of poor quality. I still like this restaurant...so if there's issues on the third chance I give it then I'm never coming back (OWNER PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES!!! 😥😥)

    What a great experience! We had such a great time at quartino celebrating our anniversary. We had Jack S. as our waiter and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better - he was personable, energetic and attentive. We hope to get him as a waiter when we are back again. Alyssa in management even was able to get us a complimentary shot to celebrate. Overall amazing food, atmosphere and service. Will be dining again soon.

    Quartino is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! Last night was good, but not as great as always. Despite there being many open tables, we were seated in a crowded, dark room. We enjoyed most of our dishes immensely, but found the Caesar salad to taste a little too fishy, and the Zeppolis were disappointing.

    Not a relaxing dinner at all! What must be meant to be an authentic bread cutter was 2 feet from our table and very loud, disrupting our conversation on many occasions. Food came out very randomly, got our appetizers after our main course, and one main plate wasn’t even delivered until most of the party was done eating. Was very disappointing for the price that you pay for this dinner!

    We have dined here before and had great time. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone waited on us. Our food never came for another 35!minutes and we had to ask for the food. Plates emptied never picked up til we paid the bill. Not busy so great example of those providing service just not on the ball. And a side note this establishment needs to do something about acoustics. So loud in here. You can’t even have a conversation. Need some sound absorbing ceiling tiles or something. HORRIBLE service.

    We enjoyed our first visit to Quartino’s. The food was fantastic and menu is ala carte. The portions are nicely sized. The food does come out at different times. So if you are expecting the food to come like it does at most restaurants and are not willing to just go with it; then this may not be for you. Tiramisu was delicious and huge. We sat outside so it was very noisy but we wanted to experience Chicago.

    I made a reservation for 10 people at 8 PM days in advance. We had a rather large group, so my sister made a reservation at the same time for 15 people. We arrive at 8 PM just to be told that our reservations are now for 8:30 PM, we understood that it was busy so we went to a nearby bar to pass the time and when we arrive back at 8:30, the table of 15 was sat immediately and we were told that our table for 10 would be only 5 minutes longer. We kept being told that it would be another 5 minutes because the table was "being cleared" implying it was ACTIVELY being cleaned... I finally got frustrated enough and walked into the dining area myself to realize the table was DISGUSTING and not a single soul had touched the table to clean it. It was now nearing 9 PM and we did not get sat until nearly 9:10, we arrive at the table to realize there's still TRASH on the table. Our server did the absolute best he could, but this dining room was JAM packed and the table next to us was nearly SHOUTING the entire meal which made things even more difficult to order. The food itself was horrendous. The linguini that came highly recommended, tasted like pasta water. The food was mediocre at best, and I am so incredibly disappointed with my experience there. I would not recommend even bothering with this place, there's a million and one better places to eat in the area and even Olive Garden can provide better service. Horrendous.

    Some of my favorite Italian food in the city. Their goat cheese ricotta with honey is something to dream about. Genuinely. Same with their tortellini. I love the wine selection as well. The one thing I didn’t love was that we had a 7:15 reservation and didn’t get seated until about 7:40. I hate waiting when I have a reservation, but it was a Friday night so I give some grace there. The service is always professional and proper. Really do love their food and enjoy bringing friends here.

    Waitress ordered us tiramisu and said that she got it for us. We get our bill and she charged us for it. She just got it for us without us ordering it. Since she said she ordered it for us, we assumed it was on the house. Soooo sketchy.

    First time there. Enjoyed the portion sizes and the food was delicious. Did not know it was a “touristy” place. Went on a Thursday night (with reservations) and was seated right away. It was quite crowded and loud for my taste, but our server was great and on top of everything.

    Food and service are very good and definitely value for money. Waiting area is congested. Eating table for 4 does not have room to accommodate the food and people are seated very close to each other between tables. Feels very congested while eating. We ordered two appetizers very similar in taste (Bruchetta and Burrata cheese with tomatoes and bread). It would have been nice if our server told us that when we ordered so we could pick another appetizer instead.
