    We had an excellent meal, with attentive, but but overly attentive service. Everything came out exactly as ordered, and in a timely manner. The food was delicious. Excellent value!

    Terrible, terrible experience. Poor quality of food. Looked like pasta was just tossed on the plate with zero effort in presentation, quality, or taste. I would have rather made pasta at home. Everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off it was so chaotic. Safe to say I will never be returning.

    A disappointing meal. I had a friend in from out of town and booked this based on the reviews. The food was not good,consistently across everything we ordered. We were seated by the kitchen and the noise level was very high. My Apple Watch was constantly alarming that the noise level was unacceptably high. We were not able to hear each other at all at our table. We were in an out in 30 minutes and will not be returning. The positive if this experience is that they were very efficient and our waitress was very nice.

    We have been to Quartino several times but this was a complete disappointment. We sat for nearly 30 minutes without a server in a corner crammed with tables. Mediocre food and drinks, lackluster service and a manager who had ample opportunities to make it right — but instead just did the bare minimum. Maybe they were having an off night.

    Good service; good food. Nothing spectacular, but the food is done right. Don’t be fooled by the waitress’ reference to being like tapas. The portions are large and it’s easy to over-order. Only real issue is the noise.

    Had to wait 10-15 minutes before being served, but server who did serve us was very nice and attentive. Asked for starters to come out before main course (this has to be specified here, as food comes as it’s ready, not necessarily when you want it), but mains came out before starters.

    we loved the food, it tasted absolutely great. A shame that the acoustics of the restaurant are rather bad so it comes accross terribly noisy. Please change your wine glasses to actual wine glasses, these small "lemonade glasses" are really not for wine.... but other than that I would recommend this place to anyone!!

    I used to love this restaurant during the pandemic. They need to bring back family sized serving portions. The idea of Italian tapas is stupid. I wish the dishes would also be served on time and that service would be a little more organized. On mother's day we were served except my father's dish never came out and we did not have good service. The portions are very small and it just isn't worth the money anymore. The tiramisu is still good, though.

    Over the years, Quartino lowered the quality of their food, particularly the pizzas, the meats, and some of the pastas. Pizzas now taste close to nothing, making their ~20$ pizzas indistinguishable from a 10$ Domino's. Ratio of price/portion of meals makes this ambience-friendly old glory of Chicago pricey for the quality of food served. Waiters are in general not well prepared.

    The food was decent but it was absolutely outrageous service. All of the waitstaff was acting very strange as if they were on drugs. We had five in our party. Three of them got their food, FINISHED their food and had their plates removed before the last two of us got our food. It was a 20 minute delay after the first people got their food. Overall horrible service, will never go back.

    we waited over 30" after we finished eating for our last two items, one of which was olives and took no time to prepare. Crowded and loud. Service very slow. Food was so so. Why have they taken so many items off the menu? Where are the meatballs?Disappointed.

    Food was great. Service was poor. No one ever came to serve us and we had to ask the waitress waiting on the table near us if she could get us a server. She ended up taking on our table after a while and my food was comped because it took unusually long to come out.
