    Lasagna
    Letitia J.

    It's a cool vibe here! Just know that it can get super noisy and hard to hear your friends across from you, but it's still a nice place to be. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and even an upstairs. I got the lasagna and it was pretty good, it wasn't that hot when I got it, which I was a little disappointed. But they were also super busy so I guess maybe I should take that into account. It was a nice size portion and very flavorful. I've had better lasagna that has the cheese melting more and was just more tender with the skin pasta skin and meat. I don't think I'd get it again but then again, maybe it would be been way better if it was hot when I received it! Server was awesome though. I love how they give you the option in how you want to split your bill by scanning the QR code. I think every restaurant should do that!

    A very belated thank you and sincere appreciation for the entire team at Quartino for making our bachelor/bachelorette party dinner SO MUCH FUN! The team worked so hard to make our night so special and deliver the highest possible customer service and the most incredible food and drink. Every member of our 15+ person dinner agreed - the food was BEYOND delicious! We ordered mostly pizza and pasta and there was absolutely something for everyone. My favorite is the funghi pizza and I'm still dreaming of it. I've been here several times before and have always thoroughly enjoyed every single menu item I've tried (shoutout the minestrone soup!) . Also - believe what you hear - the espresso martini and their desserts are some of the best in all of Chicago! My only regret is not remembering our servers name - he served our large party on the 2nd floor in the evening of 7/18. He was incredibly patient with us and a master of multitasking. One of the managers Brock came by to check up on us and I think we bent his ear for an hour raving about how much we appreciated him and his teams for their hard work in a full restaurant for making us feel so welcome and special. I cannot express how wonderful he and the rest of the team were to our group and how perfect they all made our night!

    Kari's Rating 8.25/10 TLDR: -Wine selection that comes in quarter liter servings -Shrimp risotto was incredible -Staff was attentive I've been here so many times and it's relatively average every time I come. I always try and order the ricotta with bread and honey. It's the perfect sweet savory appetizer! The shrimp risotto I've never gotten before but it's been surprisingly flavorful, even though risotto's traditionally heavy. The Moscato de Asti as refreshing and light but I wish it was a bit colder. It kinda of came out room temp in a short glass-so I didn't finish it all. The tortellini with prosciutto was a crowd favorite but very heavy. Left in a rush but it was overall an enjoyable meal.

    Came here on a friends recommendation and love loved it!!! The food was so delicious, everything we had was 10/10. The balsamic they have on each table were also so delicious my friends bartered with the manager to buy a couple bottles :D 5/5 food - we had the bruschette, sausage and mushroom pizza. gnocchi, and bolognese pasta. would recommend them all!! 5/5 service - our waitress (Georgia) was so nice we were all locked in on the World Cup game playing 5/5 vibes - a nice medium between upscale and casual

    Crispy Kale Pizza
    Noah

    Stopped by Quartino on a gloomy, rainy day. Seating arrangement in the restaurant is very compact, but also provides a cozy vibe. The quality of the pasta was great! We got the pappardelle along with the gnocchi. Gnocchi was our favorite. We also ordered the Kale pizza which I really enjoyed. They serve Neapolitan pizza and it was very tasty. The reasons I am giving 4/5 stars is due to our original table not having balsamic for the bread service, and there was water dripping from the ceiling onto us.

    Make reservations or take a chance that there might be a few open seats at the bar. We were there at 7:30 on a Thursday. The place was hopping and there was a line of people waiting. The restaurant has dim lighting. We sat at a high top table in the bar and it was hard to read the menu. Lots of people seem to order pizza but we had a few other dishes. We started with the GIARDINIERA ROMANA - really good! We then shared the Artisan sausages and the Orecchiette. We finished the meal sharing a HUGE piece of delicious Tiramisu and Limoncello. Service was spotty. It is dark and loud in the restaurant. Was it the best Italian food we ever had ...no. Was it good, yes!

    Bread plate
    Linda P.

    Exceptional and fast service. Quality food. Loved the pizza and fresh pasta. Only complaint was that it was very loud and very busy. It was difficult to have a conversation. Nice that it was open late for after the theater.

    Vicki T.

    Come early to avoid waiting in a long line. This place is 100% worth the hype and wait! They have an extensive list of menu for everything. What's really nice is they offer half portion of pasta so you can try more in one visit. My personal favorites were the meatballs and all pastas. The pasta was freshly made and satisfies every moment of your meal. Staff were incredibly friendly. Service is great but could be on the slower side - it's supposed to be a chill and fantastic dinner anyways so don't rush through your meal just to make it for your next event. Enjoy!

    White bean garlic dip
    Melissa J.

    Exceptional service and small plates, the perfect dining experience all around. Nestled on the corner of N State Street Quartino is packed with great food and an enforceable dining experience...reservations are a must. We ventured out as a family of four, made reservations in advance for a Saturday night and were ready to feast. The wait staff was s vey accommodating, especially with how busy the bar and restaurant are, think packed in like sardines. Huddled around a small table barely big enough to fit 4 chairs and the abundance of plates, glasses bottles of wine not to mention the never ending small plates, you felt like you were at Sunday dinner. The menu is set up for sharing and you might think it won't be enough but you will still have plenty leftover. Starting with warm olives, minestrone, fresh burrata and tomatoes, and galleria white bean dip with plenty of grilled bread we were content, the flavors complimented each other and were full of fresh flavor. We then moved on to pasta, tortellini with peas and prosciutto, white clam linguine and tagliatelle bolognese, each one better than the next. The perfectly cooked pasta with tons of garlic and fresh herbs, meats and cheese were incredible. When we thought we couldn't eat anything else we were offered dessert. The warm hot chocolate cake with vanilla gelato was rich and delicious and the caramel bananas with biscotti and vanilla gelato were decadent and delicious! A truly great dining experience, totally worth the close quarters.

    Mushroom risotto
    Ben Y.

    Kale salad was the best. The risotto had a good mushroom taste but was too al dente for my wife's taste. The meatballs were fine but you get 3 tiny meatballs and the dish is like $9 so value kind of low. The restaurant was super busy on a Sunday night in July. We sat at high top at bar so fortunately no wait. Dishes come out at all random times and can be slow. Have to be patient. Not pictured is a bolognese dish that was pretty good, my 12 year old approved. Decent but not special in my opinion.

    Pappardelle Al Sugo Di Pomodoro
    Alicia M.

    I had a reservation at Quartino, and we were seated but never assigned a server. The restaurant wasn't that busy given that it was 9:30pm on a Sunday, and we were seated for 30 minutes without any service until I asked someone walking by if we could place an order. Throughout the meal we never got any refills on our water, still didn't have a server, and weren't able to get our check. Luckily there are QR codes at the table so we were able to pay and leave after we finished eating. The Pappardelle Al Sugo Di Pomodoro pasta tasted fresh and the meat was flavorful, but it could've used more sauce and salt. The Campania pizza was bland, had soggy crust in the middle, and tasted like ricotta with some cherry tomatoes on top with a hint of garlic.

    Soave Anterra Pinot Grigio

    Last night sat at the beautiful bar and the bartender was friendly, attentive and helpful. Wish I could recall his name! I was undecided with wine so he offered samples. Had a 7pm reservation (sat outside) and were advised that food comes out as it's ready so not all dishes will served at the same time. My linguini and clams and broccolini arrived first, then the Tuscan kale salad. Hubby's entree still hadn't been served so we asked our server Johnny to check. He came back and admitted there was a mistake, and offered us free dessert. Turns out the entree was comped along with the desserts. Food was delicious and if you want to try more than one pasta or salad, they offer half sizes! Definitely recommend and understand that mistakes can happen. FYI there are planters around the outside dining area so bees and wasps will be nearby.

    Great service. Amazing food. It does come out at different times. You can also order half plates to share! The gnocchi was amazing. The lasagna was a showstopper.

I highly recommend the steak tartare and the vodka rigatoni. The chicken was good as well, but the main highlight was the garlic aioli sauce that came with the entree. It is a big portion and I recommend sharing. What stood out the most was service. Luckily we were able to do walk-in bar seating for the Library area on a Wednesday evening. Bartender was very attentive, got us new plates after we finished appetizers, and they boxed up our leftovers for us. The Library area was definitely more quiet than the main seating area. It is downstairs. It has a dark and moody atmosphere. If you have trouble reading in the dark, it might be hard to read the menu in the dark lighting though. There is also a photo booth tucked in the side of the hallways downstairs before you enter the Library area. $5 for 2 prints. A cute souvenir for your experience dining at Gilt Bar. Price wise: look to be spending $20-$30 average per each item on the menu. But worth the price for the food, service, and atmosphere you are getting. Definitely worth the visit.

The meatballs were great as an appetizer, the tomato sauce was seasoned well and there was enough for each meatball (came with 5). The burger was phenomenal- super juicy and cooked to perfection, and very large. The spicy vodka rigatoni was great - spiced just right and not overly spicy (coming from someone that has a very low spice tolerance). The salmon was to die for- super juicy and tender piece of fish and it flaked right on the fork. We also got the carbonara which was good, but could have used a little more salt / seasoning as it was a little bland. The Brussel sprouts were a stand out - super flavorful, cooked just right and were tender but not mushy. We fought over these!! Service was attentive and we felt taken care of! Will be dining here again as it's a hit every time with the food, and the ambiance is so fun and lively! Definitely recommend for dinner for a date night or special event!!

I wanted nothing more than to ring in year 45 with a great glass of natural wine... and I walked out having had a 7-glass flight and one of the most memorable evenings of the trip. The bartenders deserve their own star. They weren't just knowledgeable--they were genuinely fun to talk to, the kind of people who make you feel like you've been coming there for years. We went from discussing funky wine profiles to diving deep into '80s horror films, which is absolutely my idea of a perfect tangent. Their enthusiasm and curiosity made the whole experience feel personal and spontaneous. As for the wine: unique, surprising, and delicious, even the pours I didn't expect to enjoy. Good Funk leans into exploration in the best way--nothing feels generic or predictable. Every glass had its own personality, and the flight felt like a curated adventure rather than a lineup. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, stylish without being pretentious, and perfect for either a solo wind-down or a lively night out. It's the kind of place that encourages you to linger, taste one more thing, have one more conversation. Good Funk turned what could've been a quiet, forgettable evening into an unforgettable birthday-eve celebration. If you're in Chicago and love natural wine--or just love a spot with genuine heart--don't miss this place.

We ordered a flight of whiskey sours, which contained whiskeys from Japan, Vietnam, and Wisconsin. I also was able to order an amaretto sour, which they made with freshly hand beaten egg whites, which was a nice cherry on the top. As far as the whiskey flights go, I think the best one was the Vietnam flight because it had a slightly lemongrass twang and was a little bit lighter than the other two. The heaviest one was the Wisconsin which came with a little bit of a bite at the end, but it still wasn't bad if you're trying to blackout on a $15 budget. I would definitely come back with a larger group this seems like a great place, but is a little bit loud- so if you be prepared to yell or wear earplugs. The bathroom took my a second to find, which should have been intuitive considering it was on the opposite end of where you come in. I blame the lighting as things are already pretty hard to find in the dark, but eventually I made it there-Pat myself on the back.
