QUARTINO RISTORANTE REVIEWS

Our server Andrew offered to help us split the check even with a party of 6 people. We ordered cocktails, appetizers, main course, and dessert; still, our check ended up being under $50 per person. The food and atmosphere were wonderful!.

Food was excellent! Service was amazing. Definitely recommend. We loved the option to get half portions for smaller price so we could try more items. I would definitely recommend.

Rene was a great server & had great recommendations for red wines! The food, service, & atmosphere were great. I recommend the ricotta appetizer and the vodka pasta!! The prices were also phenomenal for what you get.

RPM ITALIAN REVIEWS

Amazing food. Amazing. I had eggplant Parmesan and it was so good. We also had the steak tartar-fanfreakingtastic and bill's something chocolate thing for dessert. I had some giggles and spritz to drink and it was...gigglin and spritzin. The bathroom was lovely and they juat kept bringing forks! No reusing forks betweek courses, my 4 year old self was very pleased.

Great Italian food! Absolutely loved the garlic bread and meatballs for an appetizer. I had the rigatoni for my main and really enjoyed it. My friend also enjoyed her pepperoni pizza. The atmosphere was really intimate and everyone was friendly. Definitely recommend.

Waited almost 10 minutes for the server to come to the table. Someone else finally came and took our drink order. In every Italian restaurant cheese is always offered. Had to ask for it. And the waiter never stopped to ask how the food was. The atmosphere, food, and other staff were excellent!!.

MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY CHICAGO REVIEWS

To our surprise the chef came to greet us with a complimentary sample of one of their famous appetizers as it was our first ever visit to Maggiano’s. The food was delicious, presentation on point, our servers wine suggestions were a perfect pairing, and the staff was very friendly. We definitely recommend to anyone in the Chicago area to try this gem.

I was invited here with a private party that was catered by Maggiano's Little Italy and it was the best Italian food I've had in a while. Their sauce is so good. I recommend anything with their sauce. The servers were very nice. The restaurant is clean and has a genuine Italian atmosphere.

The hotel recommended this restaurant and the food was fantastic. Server was very helpful. Lasagna was delicious and serving size was perfect. Chef gave us a sample, fried ravioli that was delicious. Very extensive wine and drinks.
