“The food here is great with good ambience.”
The food here is great with good ambience. And a very convenient location in downtown. We had the vodka sauce pasta and margherita pizza. The pasta was cooked to perfect al dente and it was so saucy and creamy. The pizza tasted very fresh with a good crunch on the crust. And the tiramisu is a must-have!! It’s very delicious with a deep coffee flavor and sweet creamy texture. Our waitress Tara is the sweetest and she made sure everything is perfect! We had a very good time! I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re celebrating!

“I don’t even know where to begin.”
I don’t even know where to begin! My service from Nicole and Raul was an experience like no other! All the staff were friendly and smiling in an amazingly warm and family style atmosphere. Special thanks to Chef Juarez, who visited with a desert tasting that was out of this world! Perfect pricing and portions! Please please please, whatever you do, don’t get rid of the short ribs!! Every bite was delectable and amazing. Well done team!!

“You can order small portion size for the pasta and risotto, which is super great.”
You can order small portion size for the pasta and risotto, which is super great! We also ordered the margarita pizza, but I don’t recommend the pizza. The pasta or risotto is much better!

Best bruschetta! They gave us bread to start, and you can also ask for smaller portions (not listed on the menu) if you don’t want the sharing size or have small appetite.

“I loved the pasta at this place, it’s handmade, and you can really taste the difference.”
I loved the pasta at this place, it’s handmade, and you can really taste the difference. My favorite dish here is the fettuccine Alfredo. I also enjoyed the atmosphere and the service; both were great. I absolutely loved the tiramisu. If you go, you have to try it. I had been looking for a good tiramisu for a long time, and this one exceeded my expectations. Another thing I really liked is that you can customize the portion size, you can ask for the half portion of the dishes, which is a nice touch.

“The sights, smells and tastes will welcome you to Italy inside the Windy City.”
The sights, smells and tastes will welcome you to Italy inside the Windy City. The service was excellent and the freshly made food scrumptious. The option of ordering half plates made it easy to share family style! Three of us were pleasantly full after sharing the Sliced Gibsons Australian Strip Steak served with broccolini, grape tomatoes and onions; the Tuscan Sausage Risotti and Orecchetti. The freshly baked bread, of course, paired well with all dishes. Nice selection of wines and unique cocktails.

“Great dinner here.”
Great dinner here! Jonathan was a fantastic server, helped us to a great choice of wine. The ricotta appetizer was awesome, I will be getting that one again. Pappardelle entree was perfect. The sausage risotto was good, just wish it was cooked a bit longer. Nonetheless we had an amazing night and will for sure be returning.

“Food was amazing.”
Food was amazing! As a college student, getting the chance to get out and eat such delicious food was a dream! Everything is made fresh by order and the ambiance was phenomenal. Fernando was a wonderful server! We ordered the Spaghetti, Gnocchi, Shrimp Diavolo, Bruschetta, and Cappuccino! I personally just added a bit of salt but this place was amazing and I would definitely recommend to anyone!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Lunch at Quartino.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Lunch at Quartino! Stopped in for lunch at Quartino on State Street and had an outstanding experience. The table bread alone was a great start — warm, flavorful, and even better with the fun assortment of cheeses, balsamic, and olive oil they provide. I ordered the arugula salad and the San Daniele arugula pizza, and both were excellent. The salad was incredibly refreshing, packed with farm-fresh ingredients and great texture from the nuts and citrus. The pizza was the real standout — absolutely loaded with toppings, with silky prosciutto, plenty of fresh arugula, and a perfectly airy, flavorful dough that really impressed me. Great atmosphere, great service, and top-quality food. I’ll definitely be back!
