Staff seemed to “Hoover” a lot and waitress was rude/uninterested
The manager came over and asked how everything was. The management at that restaurant are top notch.
Will, our waiter, made our entire experience. Great service!
Thanks so much for the 5 stars- We are big fans of Will as well!
the food isnt as good as i thought. the only thing i would recommend is the calamari
We were able to be seated outside and with all the heaters on it was perfect. The food was great (pizza and kale salad) and it was a great value too. I can definitely recommend this restaurant for a safe lunch and dinner experience.
Thank you for the kind words, Anna! Hope to see you again soon.
Always the best food and service. I heard Quartino!
Excellent service every time I’ve dined here including this visit. Delicious menu and I recommend the limoncello for dessert.
they are doing the best they can during these difficult times for all
Great experience. Food was grear
Best food, best service. But they need more outdoor heaters, or tent walls or something to help with temperature when having to eat outside bc of restrictions.
The service was great! Food and recs were so tasty. So glad we got a table here for our first night in town. Goat cheese ricotta, pizza, chicken parm and mushroom risotto were all super!
Amazing as always - never fails to deliver. Consistently decent food at a good price point, friendly and prompt service. Lovely atmosphere. All restaurants should be run this way.
The pasta was not up to par for the reviews. Server didn't seem interested either
Food was amazing and server was good. Missed some items from the menu but overall our date night with friends was great. That kale salad was amazing and I don’t even like kale!
We understand what is going on with Covid. We had no problem putting on our mask when the server came to the table. When the server continues to come to the table every few minutes for no apparent reason it seem as if we were being tested. If there is a policy please make sure it’s communicated to your clients. As in adhere the policy to the table for the people that aren’t familiar with local requirements. Comments to friends and family stay away from the restaurant’s in the city until this pandemic is over...
Great as always .. our server was excellent ... somehow still really loud despite social distancing.
Elizabeth was a fantastic server, she practiced great Covid precautions, explained the menu and service practices! Food was very hot upon being served! The portions at times could be larger, as in the Ahmazing truffle-porcini risotto! We ordered it for a side to share, and it was gone in a flash! It was delicious! We decided we definitely wanted to come back for just the risotto! All other sides, entrees and desserts were ample sized! The location is wonderful especially for a nice evening! Patio seating is great for people watchers and getting that dose of, “ City Vibe”! Looking forward to our next meal at Quartino! Parking is close at parking garage located at 10 E Ontario! Just across the street!
Excellent time, delicious food. Can't wait to go back!
I've gone to Quartino on a regular basis the past few years and I've always been happy with my experiences there. This one was no different. The Thyme Machine is an outstanding drink (I usually get their house wine). And the pasta was once again delicious.
Love you, Quartino!
I am from Ohio and when in Chicago, it is a must to visit Quartino's. Their family style meals are delicious and it seems that no matter what we pick, we enjoy it. If you have room, their desserts are amazing as well.
The manager lit candles for us and gave us tiramisu for our anniversary! Great service from our server as well.
Always great but visited on a Wednesday night and unfortunately our server was barely present, either he was too busy with too many tables or simply not attentive. All in all though a great experience during Covid times. We will be back.
Burrata with beets and orange! Small plates to share. Ask the waitstaff for some guidance and take your time. Very enjoyable. One of our favorites locally
Me and my partner absolutely LOVED Quartino! We agreed that we wished we lived in Chicago just so we could eat there regularly: the food, service and ambiance were great, and prices were very reasonable!
The food was delicious! loved the red wine sangria too. highly recommend.
Birthday , I gave the birthday girl tiramisu.Very nice of them
Love the food, service, espresso martini, and overall vibe!
Our server was very nice, food and drinks were good, and enjoyed our evening.
Ruben and John made us feel so welcomed and comfortable at Quartino!! They are the absolute best when it comes to service.
Quartino has always been a go-to for me. I love the shareable style eating. If you are not into sharing, it’s perfectly acceptable to order your own dish and eat it all to yourself. The food is delicious. Also the wine is super duper affordable, and you can order it in multiple different sizes - glass, 1/4 liter, 1/2 liter, etc.
My biggest complaint is that the food was lukewarm when it came out. Additionally, it took quite a while for the server to come to our table and greet us and when they finally did they didnt bring us silverwear or plates, just a plate of bread and small container of olive oil. The hostess at the front was also not very friendly and didnt even make eye contact with us.

Quartino is the BEST! Great atmosphere for groups or a date night!
Loved our visit, as usual!
Felt like we were rushed out of the restaurant, service was too fast and food came out too quickly making it feel like it was pre-cooked.
Thank you for your recent visit! Our sincere apologies if your experience felt rushed, that is certainly not the level of service we are striving for. Quartino is proud to use fresh, authentic ingredients, and the kitchen produces every dish to order, our regrets if this was not the impression that was left after the meal. Please don't hesitate to call the restaurant and request a manager on duty to share your full experience, as we are always looking for ways in which we can improve.
Grey place to get great fold and service!
Super nice waitress and great ambience! The bolognese was amazing as was the Quattro formaggi pizza.
We had an amazing waitress! She was so kind, accommodating, and all around amazing. The food was SO GOOD. The charcuterie board, calamari, orichette pasta all were delicious. The espresso martinis are the best. I love Quartino!
Great spot for a birthday dinner!
The shrimp risotto is the best
I really wanted calamari and their calamari was delicious! So was everything else we tried. The service was great, the COVID-19 measures very reasonable and orderly. Extremely happy with the whole experience.
