Fran Su

Great place for groups. Everything is good. Big fan of the sharing concept. Veal meatballs (feel guilty about this😢), pastas (pappardelle , gnocchi , linguine with clam sauce ), gelatos ... all so tasty!

Mary Alesandrini

9 - Authentic Italian , and the first place I've found in America that has Sgroppinos! Has half plates of entrees to allow you to try even more!

Lovely olive mix, veal meatballs are ok, the tortellini with ham and peas is wonderfully rich and the papparadelle is tasty. Zeppolles (pic) are light and fluffy w/ very delicious chocolate sauce.

Emily Jenkins

All yum! Just make sure to ask if Food is spicy if you are sensitive because lots of random chillies! Willing to do half portions of desserts which is so lovely and accommodating.

Tracey Dubuque

Great atmosphere! Sinead was our bartender/server & was extremely helpful&friendly! Ordered cheese/charcuterie which was awesome. Dates and homemade pasta were amazing. And half priced wine to go!!!

Naz F. Gérdabi

EDUARDO ROMERO

Me and my wife had a salad and a pepperoni pizza . Every thing was perfect 👌🏻 ideal for sharing. They have a very good wine selection too. Desserts looked good, but we were too full to try them.

Patricia Andrews-Keenan

Loved the family style dining. The food was wonderfully prepared as well as plentiful. We had the chicken and salmon and both were great. The staff was attentive and the Chef Coleta stopped by too.

Chris Davis

I have to go back! Loved the food and they are open late !! Their outdoor seating is adorable and it looks like it has an upper level outside! For me that is something I must go back to experience!

Loved the Pene alla Vodka . One of the best I've had. The porcino and truffle rissoto was good and the chocolate cake was sooo delicious. The ocopus was ok and the veal sliders were not bad either.

Ray Butler

Great food and wine at a fair price . Sausage pizza was light and non-filling. Very addicting without putting you into a food coma. 10/10 would pizza again.

Angelina S.

The service was excellent. I had the best fettuccine di mare with Parma martini , grilled octopus , and caprise salad . The portions just right and the items shareable. I'd recommend this place forever.

Thomas Benson

Food is served as it comes out, and dishes are meant for sharing. Ordering a few plates at a time is a good move (especially since service was so fast). Food was all good and staff was nice as well .

Stephen

House red is so great. Some of my faves: white bean spread, asparagus risotto , orrechiette, pappardelle , romaine hearts. Great service, very reasonable prices.

Angela

My deep affection for this place will never end. Do not skip out on the house made goat cheese ricotta tangerine arugula salad . Amaze. Also the Fumo Negli Occhi pizza is out of this world. So tasty!

P S

Best cheap eat in RivNo. Neapolitan pizzas , veal meatballs w raisins , salumeria tasting, pappardelle pasta are spot on. Bring a group and share everything.

Renata Portugal

Amazing pizza , we ordered 4 cheese , its a must!! The torta al cioccolato was my favorite!!! Also excellent service 👏🏻👏🏻

Jorge Esquivel

excellent place to hace a dinner , there is a good balance between price, taste and excellent and fast service . Since it is very crowded it is a bit noisy

Philip Tam

Literally love this place. Staff is knowledgable and very kind. Gets busy and loud . Kitchen is open until 1:00 am, but the cut off is strictly 15 minutes before. Otherwise open until 3!

Carol

Great food with a great view . VERY touristy and can be packed on the weekends. Nice wine selection and the Funghi Pizza was pretty standard, lacked salt though

Jennifer Paoloni

Pasta is made to order and comes out as the type of pasta is cooked. Your meals come out in waves, but they provide sharing plates, so everyone can eat together

Christy

Penne alla Vodka all the way, I get it every time! For desserts , coppa al banana , the chocolate cake , the zeppole or the gelato - all are great with their coffee . But really, everything is delicioso!

Shannon Jeropke

While Quartino is more of an Italian Restaurant , it is an amazing one at that! Ask your waiter which wines to pair with their melt in your mouth Food!

Talal A

Literally can't go wrong with anything here. Classic, unpretentious Italian. Try the veal meatballs , fettuccine alfredo , and the funghi pizza .

Dana Danielle

Good for groups or dates. Multiple seating options: bar , patio or main dining room. Get the: pizza , cheap wine , bacon wrapped dates and tortellini ❤️

Alison Steele

My go-to Italian spot anytime I'm in Chicago. Great Italian tapas and atmosphere- have never tried anything that wasn't amazing.

Olia B.

One of my favorite place. Very tasty food, perfect Bellini . Book the table in terrace , the main part of restaurant is very loud

SaffyBrinaPoo

Quaint little spot we just happened to stumble upon the day of their grand opening!! Outside terrace was really nice & the portions are just enough to compliment an adult beverage or two ;)))

Erika Davis

Delicious Italian Tapas with lots of wine option (pretty cheap imo). One of my favorite Italian places in Chicago. It's always packed with people

Cole Kennedy

Aw yeah. The tagliatelle puts happiness in your belly. The fresh pastas are all good, as is the diverse red wine list , but the pizzas aren't special.

Corbin Blankenstein

Fun atmosphere , relatively cheap , good Italian. Get the cheese fondue and extra dipping bread

Melissa Hook

This is a great little spot for before dinner drinks. Italian through and through! We didn't have any food but it looked and smelled amazing! Definitely will go back!

Vasek S.

Wonderful, all staff is wearing italian jersey of italian clubs from Serie A.Moreover the food was excellent and place is really pleasant

Madm Fia

Really good for groups . Get lots of stuff to share. Spinach and eggplant parm were my favs. Chocolate fondue with bananas was incredible.

Brian Dean

Great portions and pricing. We sat at the bar and enjoyed exceptional service . The cavatelli and tiramisu were both incredible

Deanna M.

A much classier option for your late night out case of the munchies than Rock n Roll McD's. Serves thin crust pizza only after a certain hour. Buttery thin crust > mystery meat chicken nuggets .

Guillermo Mendoza

It was worth walking 8 blocks from the hotel in cold weather. Fresh caprese DELICIOUS roasted baby octopus and Quatro Stagioni pizza all great!

Carlla Martins

Good options with great cost and benefits. We took the weekday lunch special , and we loved it.

Keith Peltason

House red and white are both tasty and a steal at $6 / Quartino (8oz)

Sarah Endres

So many favorites: Lambrusco, pancetta wrapped dates, orecchiette , tortellini , braised pork shank , sea scallops , Tuscan sausage risotto , linguini with clams , roasted baby octopus

Adam Peters

I have never felt so attended to in my life than by our server, William. His suggestions were PERFECT. The food was out of this world. This is a MUST stop.

Cole Halligan

Steer your eyes to the bottom right corner of the menu (if you can make it beyond the pasta )....the Tagliata Di Manzo is fantastic.

dereq

Tables are called verbally in lobby, making it a crowded place as folks wait. A pager system would do this place wonders. Once you are seated try the sprout salad .

Michael Helvey

Rib was incredible. Everything was incredible. Finish it off with the chocolate fondue or chocolate gelato .

Time Out Chicago

The Gibsons folks go rustic Italian with this cavernous dining room decked out with reclaimed wood and subway tiles, vintage mirrors and mismatched chairs. Read more

Amy McGrath

Nice atmosphere. Great veal meatballs . The appetizer portion is more than enough for dinner with a side salad .

Zeke Franco

Try the Panino al Gelato Limone - Lemon cream gelato sandwich with lemon curd , whipped cream , & lemon chips . Amazing dessert ; the best I've had in a while.

Chris Konecny

Cool place and pretty good Italian food . Small plates so you can order more dishes and share. The waitress in the bar area could have been better

Carrie Collins

Can't say enough good things about the veal meatballs , bolognese , and wine . Jarell, our server, was 100% on point. We're coming back, every week!

Chris Ferguson

Great place for groups. Cheap wine , small plates (try the veal meatball sliders ), tasty pizzas , and great atmosphere (opt for eating in the bar over the dining room, unless you've got a big group).
