"It’s 11:00pm, everyone’s starving, and you want to go someplace kind of nice but still affordable. Well, if you're heading to River North and you can place an order before the kitchen closes at 11:30pm, Quartino is reliably good. Its tapas-style Italian menu is reasonably priced and perfect for sharing. The space is also so big that you probably won’t have to wait for a table." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"You’re getting together with a big group of friends, and no one can make a decision. Make your reservation at Quartino and everyone will be satisfied. The two-story, small plates Italian restaurant in River North has easily shareable pastas, vegetables, and, yes, pizza." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru
"A perfect place for a boisterous group, Quartino won’t bat an eye at a reservation for 20, though there are three private party spaces that can be combined for larger gatherings. Everything on the menu is meant to be shared, from the plates of salumi to the sangria and Aperol spritzes served by the liter. The prices are affordable, meaning there won’t be any arguing about how to split the check. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
"Thanks to Facebook, everyone in your office knows today is your birthday. You weren’t going to say anything about it, but now they want to take you out to lunch, and you get to pick the place. Quartino in River North has decent Italian, as well as an inexhaustible supply of dining rooms - so your entire office can come, and you won’t have to wait for a table. You won’t have to pay, either (we hope). Win-win." - adrian kane
"If you haven’t been to a group dinner at Quartino in River North yet, odds are you’re new to town. It’s a busy spot great for any occasion, and it’s usually easy to get a same-day reservation thanks to its inexhaustible supply of dining rooms and tables. Yes, it will be loud and crowded in here, but that means no one will overhear the intimate details of your coworker’s breakup. Plus, the small-plates-style Italian menu is full of reliably good food that’s easy to share." - adrian kane
