Ugh! The only reason I would go back to this place is if I wasn't hungry. Yes, yes, I know...it's tapas. I've eaten tapas before and have never had such a bad experience as I did at Quartino. I took…

This is one place you're guaranteed a good time/service. Wine is alright ( mostly Italian) but they bring your order real quick. Avg price for the location. Update: I went to their wine tastign and…

1) reasonably priced for where it is 2) a good family-style serving style

Prices are great here for both wine and food - tough to beat in this neighborhood - but the food was just OK. Actually it was probably less than OK being as salty as it was but I was won over by the…

OK this was my first downtown dining experience and it was pretty good. Great food. Great selection with some killer desert. If a complaint was to be made it may be that it gets loud . And I mean…

I really don't know what all the fuss is all about at Quartino. The place is huge, the line is long, but the food is definitely nothing to brag about. I came here friday night with another couple, and…

I've been to Quartino's on three separate occasions. In general, I like the restaurant, location, tapas style, and bustling atmosphere. And, how I love the prices! But, I hesitate to give it 4…

I've been here once and my experience was pretty good. As I like the idea of Italian tapas, it's cute and I love to share food.

This place is so great! I already know it is going to be a local favorite for me. The staff is very knowledgable and courteous! A friend and I went and got the whole package: ordered a bottle of wine,…

Not much else to say here that other Yelpers haven't said but I still feel a review is in order. This is the first place we ate at when considering moving to Chicago. It's got a lively feel that's…

This is a place for many occasions, but none better then getting off of work around 10:00pm and going to have some charcuterie, cheese and wine with your co-workers after a long night. The place…

Been here several times including the Yelp event. Was here on Saturday night with some out of towners. Our server was awesome. The carafe of wine is the only way to go. It's closer to 1.5 bottles of…

I absolutely love this place!! It is true they do have wine that is cheaper than water. This is a great place to go out with a large group of friends, especially if you like to share (tapas style).…

I've only been here once, but they have a very decent white wine bottle for $12! I believe they make all their own wines, and the one we had was very good! The portions are smaller & made for…

"Where wine is cheaper than water and the pizza is the finest." That is Quartino's slogan. They have suffered serious brain damage if they think they can live up to either of those promises.

I had a friend from out of town staying at a hotel in the area so we decided on Quartino's. On all levels, service, food, wine and atmosphere, we were not disappointed. It was a Tuesday night and our…

I really liked the schtick Quartino is going for. A few of us went there last week and had some wine, cheese, salumi, and salads. We were lucky enough to get a table in the small back room, and our…

Excellent place to sample a wide selection of italian whites and reds, while feasting on tapas size portions of pastas, and meat and seafood dishes. Pizzas are cooked in a wood burning oven and are…
