Chicago|Another Great Value Italian Spot: Quartino 🍝💫
A really solid Italian restaurant with great quality! Having tried Volare, Ciccio Mio, and Coda Di Volpe, I personally think Quartino offers the best value for money. The vibe is cheerful with an open kitchen, and food comes out quickly — nothing disappointed us!👌😁 Here are my top picks: 1️⃣ Penne from the Restaurant Week menu (not sure if it's on the regular menu) — highly recommended! Perfectly chewy and flavorful. 2️⃣ Pappardelle with meat sauce — So rich and savory! One of the best meat sauces I’ve had lately (though the pasta was a tad soft for me). 3️⃣ Tiramisu — Coffee-forward and not too sweet. A definite must-try! 4️⃣ Appetizer: Bread with Bean Spread & Prosciutto — The bread stole the show for me! Soft, warm, and slathered with delicious bean spread. As a bread lover, I was in heaven 🥖❤️. #HiddenGem #Chicago #ChicagoLife #ChicagoEats #StudentEats #ExploreChicago
