"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." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Open until 12:30am Monday-Sunday 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
