  Delicious food. Great service. I'm a repeat customer!
• Stacy C.
  This was an excellent deal with a great atmosphere. The staff was excellent as well.
• Elena C.
  Love Quartino!! There are so many options and so much food!!
• Maureen S.
  First of all the gDine deal was unbeatable. You get a LOT of food for the price. Most of it was pretty good, but can't say I was blown away by anything. The chicken pizza is a pass. What made the experience was how great our waiter (Ben T.) was. He made a mistake in the order and immediately apologized and corrected it. He was absolutely great!! He was wonderful and I enjoyed the experience so much I'd go back and specifically request him. :)
• Thomas S.
  great all around experience.
• Laura H.
  Love the setting and feel to this restaurant, and the food is awesome.
• Steven S.
  Food was tremendous and in perfect pairings and quantities. I was very impressed with the selections on the gDine menu. The service was attentive and helpful in selecting the evenings options. Definitely a place to return.
• Nick H.
  Biz lunch went as smooth, everyone loved the experience. Will def be back!
• Ransella W.
  We enjoyed the casual atmosphere, dining on the patio at Quartino on a Sunday afternoon. For the five courses, we picked one item from each - Spuntini, Salumi, Formaggi, Neopolitan Pizze, and Pasta in Casa. All were generous portions for two people and a delicious sampling of what Quartino has to offer. Highly recommended.
• Carla L.
  This was our first time using gDine and dining at Quartinos. Everything was fabulous! We will definitely return to both Quartino and gDine. The experience was seamless.
• Steve E.
  Six of us were downtown for a weekend and I was a hero to the other two couples for this choice. Lots of tastes and surprisingly large portions.
• Ann W.
  I have dined at Quartinos before, so I was happy to find the GDine deal. The service was, as always, great. The special menu offering was generous and thoroughly enjoyable! I highly recommend this deal.

  Service was outstanding. Recommendations were spot on. Definitely worth going for this deal alone.
• Liz D.
  Duck prosciutto just melts in your mouth!!
• Neva W.
  The manager at Quartino's was extremely helpful and attentive and the gDine menu is a really amazing deal. There was no way we could have eaten all of the food we were brought, and for $15pp I didn't have particularly high expectations. The food was even better than the first time I ate there without the gDine deal. I am very impressed with my first gDine experience and will definitely go back to Quartino's.
• Lori P.
  The amount of food was very generous. Loved the ambiance/atmosphere. Very large once you get inside. Tons of seating between first and second floor. Our server was very friendly and helpful in making our choices. I enjoyed all of our selections. The only suggestion is with reference to the appetizer selections. It was difficult to know exactly what all the little side "garnish's" were. Our server didn't return quickly enough after the appetizers were delivered and we were left wondering for a bit. But other than that I would definitely recommend.
• Rob P.
  Definitely take advantage of the gDine deal. You can't go wrong with any of the options and the location a few blocks from the shopping on Michigan Avenue can't be beat!
• Denise P.
  We paid $15 per person and there were 4 of us. You got 1 tasting menu for every 2 persons. There was so much to choose from and plenty of food. The antipasti course came w/plenty of cheeses and Italian cured meats (of our choice). Pizzas were delicious (thin crispy crust) and a good size. The pastas were to die for and just enough to not make us feel too full! This was a real deal for a great, energetic place.
• Krys J.
  Despite a crowded late lunch crowd, Quartino was able to accommodate us about 45 minutes earlier than our reservation. Our server was prompt, informative, and cheerful. Through our gdine special, we chose 3 items off the antipasto menu, one 12" pizza (which we customized two ways), and a pasta dish. We weren't rushed, so were able to enjoy each course without feeling like we had to gobble everything down. A lemoncello was a perfect way to end a leisurely lunch. On a super PR note - when the four-top next to us had to leave because their lunches were allegedly running slow, the manager comped their entire bill and gave them a coupon for a return visit! We'll definitely be back!
• Ursula O.
  This was my first gDine experience and it went very well. It was nice to have already paid and to simply walk in and choose our menu. We did add on alcohol, but that was obviously on a separate bill. I think it's definitely a great deal to try!
• Najja H.
  Fab!
• Amber R.
  Lots of food for a great price! Excellent service! Great wines!
• Sylvia Z.
  The gDine deal at Quartino is a very good value. You get so much good food for the amount of money spent. Our waitress was very attentive. However, sometimes I felt like she came over so much I couldn't enjoy the food or continue a conversation with my husband. Overall, the food was satisfying and good. It was not the best italian I've ever had but it was very good. Highlights: eggplant salad and hot chocolate cake. I would return.
• Lisa W.
  Everyone enjoyed the dining experiencing.
• Glenn Y.
  Venue used for a birthday dinner. Would recommend the ambiance even on a weeknight.
• Chandra H.
  The food was good but not outstanding. My Spaghetti all' Arrabiata didn't have a hint of spice. Our server never returned to our table at the end of the meal which felt a bit odd albeit everything is prepaid through gDine. A simple "Thanks for coming in, you're all set" would have sufficed.
• Pat S.
  The Gdine deal went so smoothly! A seamless way to pay ahead
• Kathy G.
  Waiter was wonderful!
• Paula T.
  This was an incredibly wonderful five course lunch of which we had to take most of the pizza course home because there was so much food. The sausages that were cured in-house were delicious. The cheese as well.
• Robert W.
  Noisy, bustling, cheerful. Not the place for a leisurely meal with deep conversation. But perfect for a late afternoon when time is short, with good food and quick service.
• Richard H.
  An enjoyable experience
• Lisa T.
  the food was delicious and all of the staff friendly and courteous. they have the best patio in River North---great place for people watching and relaxing on a Sunday.
• Lakshmi M.
  Good service, good food!
• Maureen M.
  The pizza, pasta and cheese was excellent
• Victoria D.
  I adore the old Italian movies...
• ANITA N.
  The food was a little bland for my taste, but the service was good. The restaurant was very crowded and the food still came out pretty quickly. Seemed to be a popular place, but I most likely will not return.
• Rakesh T.
  I just came back from a 2 week vacaton in Italy and am now realizing what a gem Quartino is. Wow. 5 Course dinner for $15 Enough said.
• Bella V.
  We came here on a Saturday afternoon with a 12 noon gDine rez. The food was amazing, and the gDine deal made it all the better. We were literally stuffed when we left. Service was as perfect as it gets. The manager even came to our table to welcome us and make sure everything was ok. Unlike some places that will make you feel cheap for using their own deal, he actually acted like he was happy we made a gDine reservation! Everything was so wonderful, we even tipped the waiter an extra $10 on top of the 20% already paid for. We were truly blown away by the friendliness, ambiance, and food at Quartino!
• Laarni B.
  I love quartinos, it's my go to place for good food and fast service. Our waiter was a little quirky, but he seemed very knowledgeable about the entire menu. Definitely will go back again.
• Karen W.
  I was running late and couldn't get ahold of my date who was already there and upset that I wasn't. I got ahold of Adam at Quartino's who sat him at our table and made sure the waiter got him a drink. By the time I got there he was relaxed and we had a fantastic dinner. So much food for such a great price! Then the manager gave us his card and told us to call him if we ever need anything special. Wow what great service all the way around. We will be back!
• Christopher M.
  I went to Quartino for the first time yesterday because of gDine's promotion. I was extremely impressed. The entire experience was enjoyable. The food was excellent and the server was exceptionally hospitable. The portion sizes for 5 course prix fixe lunch were very generous and we had to take home leftovers--enough for another entire lunch! I will definitely go back even without the gDine discount. Well worth it!
• Elle B.
  Granted we sat on their awesome patio on the first 90 degree day but the food was excellent and our server great. Loved each course and ordering was surprisingly easy.
• Lila G.
  Food was superlative. I HATE Italian red sauce joints where they give you a pile of overcooked pasta and doughy pizza. Quartino is the opposite of this. We got fresh cheeses, cured meats, delicious vegetables, the pizza was thin-crust and well-balanced with good acidity, sharpness and smoothness. The pasta was perfectly cooked. It was al dente with the perfect amount of meat sauce and you could tell the sauce had been cooked for hours, not sweetened with corn syrup. The waiter was so friendly and helpful we gave him an extra $12 tip on our $30 meal! Sometimes waitstaff is less than happy when you get discounted food and then order no wine, but this guy couldn't have been nicer. The restaurant is very loud, but don't let that keep you away. We just talked louder!
• Michelle X T.
  A friend and I went on a Wed. night and did a $15 special of 5 items. I definitely appreciated being able to pay on the site and even have tax and tip added on already. I just hope it went to our waiter, as he was fantastic and got a whole lot more from us after wine and dessert. The atmosphere was a bit loud (the music), but was still able to hear one another. The food was perfect for 2 people, but quite a bit! We even had some to take home. The deal was great as we were able to try out a few appetizer-sized items, a pizza and a pasta (we had Asparagus risotto). You must have the duck prosciutto...I think I moaned out loud. The pizza (gorgonzola, apples and walnuts) had just the right amount of sauce and delectable cheeses. And the dessert..this vanilla mousse like ice cream with biscotti and bananas was to die for. So overall, I cannot wait to go back there and try something else.
• Sandra F.
  We had the best experience! Adam was our waiter and explained the menu with great knowledge and was very attentive. The food was fabulous and way more then the 2 of us could eat. We ended up taking 1/2 the pizza home along with 1/4th the pasta. All of the staff were very courtious. I will be going back!!!
• Jennifer E.
  I love everything about Quartinos. Great sharing food that is meant to share, so you get a smathering of many meals - especially with te G Dine deal. I recco the Quattro Staggioni pizza and Cavatelli pasta. Service is always great, regardless of time or day. Definitely go!
• Jenny F.
  I love the Arugla Pizza
• Susan C.
  This was such a great deal. We didn't realize that the deal was for two people. You just need to buy it once. There was so much food! We even took home a pizza because we couldn't eat it all.
• Holly S.
  Waiter was fabulous, would absolutely go back!
• Amanda V.
  We have a great time at Quartino- the 5 courses was almost too much food. Excellent menu with a quite a few choices. Our waiter was awesome- ask to be seated in Ryan's section as he made great recommendations all evening long. Overall a lot of fun for a really great price.
• Matt S.
  Absolutely outstanding as always. Quartino's service and staff are knowledgeable and attentive. The food is amazing and there is no better place for small plates Italian dining. Would highly recommend!!!
• Lorenzo C.
  John was an exceptional waiter.... my companion and I had an excellent time... ate and drank too much.. and will be back to do it all over again :)
• Richard H.
  We are big fans of Quartino. The food is great. The room enhances the dining experience. The staff is excellent. The DEAL was just OK. Too structured. Could have done without one dish and substituted for another. As it turned out, what with an added appetizer, drinks, dessert and coffee, we ended up paying about the same as if we had ordered strictly a la carte. Cannot wait for warm weather. Great place to eat outside.
• JATIN H.
  Great service and good choice of food. Great place to go in a group so that you can try a variety of foods
• Zhuoying Z.
  We loved this restaurant, the food is wonderful, you get the real italian food : fresh, healthy and full of spices and flavour, not the cheesy, oily and bland american-italian food The portion was good, the waiter helpfull and for 35 dollars comprising taxes and tips for 2 it s the one of the best meal I ve ever had Also the previous review is quite strange : how can you think that you can get 60 a la carte value meal for 15 dollars, and the portions are big, so obviously it s made for sharing, the first time the waiter must have made an error, and you took advantage of it, it s delusionnal to think that everytime is going to be the same
• Noemi T.
  What a great value for such a great place.. Service was great.. Food was yummy.. Can't wait to go back..
