We had one of the best dining experiences EVER!! We go to restaurants a lot. The service, atmosphere and food was beyond outstanding. We will be back for sure!! And try their Arancini...we have had some before from other places and this ruined us in the best way possible. We won't be able to have it anywhere else except for here.

Our dinner was fantastic. We loved everything. The new specials were a great addition. The new burrata dish was fresh and delicious. The mushroom pasta special was particularly good. Different mushrooms made a difference in the dish. Finally, the tiramisu and chocolate cake was perfectly made and served in different ways. Hector treating us like we were VIPs even though we only come once a year. Thank you!

We were seated 10 minutes early for our 1pm reservation. Out server arrived at our table immediately and greeted us. We put in drink orders then when she came with those we ordered our appetizer and meal. We thought it might take a bit of time as the place was full but it was all out quickly. Ordered thr pot pie and braised beef and both good. This is where service got slow but I think they seated 3 or 4 new tables in her area at once so she was busy. Ordered thr mint cheesecake and that was amazing. Bill was $80 plus tax so not really bad for 2 people to have a nice meal with drinks and dessert. The tree and Christmas decorations were beautiful and we lucked out and were seated near the tree. Will make it a tradition each year to go back. Lucked out on the reservation because we missed it when it opened. So glad we got one!

My husband and I have moved to the Asheville, NC area and only come back to the Chicago area once a year to see family. We have been missing Quartino, especially because they can accommodate my lactose intolerance. This year, we decided that we had to go to downtown Chicago just so we could go the Quartino and Eataly. It was even worth the horrible traffic getting downtown!
