Near North​のベストイタリアンレストラン

We love it here. We come every Thanksgiving week for my son's birthday. My favorite tradition.

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!

First visit since the place was converted from Ben Pao.. Beautiful feel (reminiscent of our beloved LEYE "Avanzare" restaurant). The music level was, in our opinion, too loud to maintain a pleasant conversation. It id not seem to affect other diners. Your Italian wines list is superb. We tried a bottle from Sicily (on our own but with approval from your in house sommelier).

The food was delicious. If you choose a dish that requires table service you are in for a treat. The wait staff is attentive and answer questions in detail. I recommend this establishment as it is quite an experience and offers options not found in other Italian restaurants. The ambience is nice for a restaurant located on the second level of an Italian grocery store.

We had an amazing dining experience! Our server, Sasha, was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. The cocktails were perfectly made and paired well with our dishes. The carbonara pasta was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the chicken saltimbocca was delicious. We finished with a rich and chocolatey tiramisu, which was the perfect ending. The manager checked in to make sure everything was great, showing how much they care about the service. We’ll definitely be back!
