First off, this fantastic restaurant is not an upscale elegant type of ambiance. Yes, it’s in downtown but it’s not what you all might think. I dined with my brother and my mother for lunch and OMG all that we ordered was superb. Absolutely phenomenal. Lux Paul was our server for the afternoon and he was pretty hip, nice, & informative as well. Selections of wine and spirits are awesome. I’m a pasta freak, so even those selections were hard to not order them all 🤣. My brother ordered the Tortellini and spinach - mom ordered the salmon and eggplant - I ordered the shrimp risotto and rigatoni w/ lamb. It’s all a la carte so we all shared from each Plate. The complimentary bread was also very good and endless (Yeyyyyy!!!). All of these plates were - kid you not - all at a very reasonable price. Late night until 3am. I will definitely be going to this spot again and again.
Management: one thing though...turn fans off if at all possible. It was chilly coming from the outside and to then feel a cold breeze from the fans was kind of a bummer and got our food cold quick however, we forgot all about it - still, just FYI 😀
I loved it, ran into this place accidentally. Me and my buddy had the spinach salad, young octopus salad, margarita pizza, duck prosciutto, a lemon desert when i dont have a sweet tooth and the service was amazing. When i go back to Chicago this is my last meal before going coming home meal. Amazing!!!
We were at Quartino last night. Staff is excellent, knowledgeable of the menu and helpful with questions; very friendly, welcoming and personable. Food was fabulous!!! I asked for a risotto dish prepared with pasta and Amanda our server was helpful and the chef surprised me with Tuscan sausage with sun dried tomatoes and peas over penne! Superb!! Bar waitress Madeline went out of her way to be helpful with great service! Will definitely return!
