🍝 This Italian Spot in Chicago Totally Nails It!

Outdoor flowers 💐 + amazing pasta 💯 — as someone who doesn’t usually love Italian food, I kept going back for more! Hidden in downtown, I was drawn in by the gorgeous flower display and red awning… and ended up with delicious food and great photos 😻. Must-try 👍🏼: 1️⃣ Fettuccine Alfredo – So creamy and rich, it melts in your mouth. Pasta cooked perfectly — not heavy at all! 2️⃣ Calamari – Crispy outside, tender inside, not greasy at all 🦑✨. 3️⃣ Shrimp Diavolo – Spicy shrimp served with lemon 🍋 — adds such a bright, fresh kick! You really can’t go wrong ordering anything here — great value, lovely atmosphere, and friendly service! If the weather’s nice, sit outside — the sunshine is just bliss 🥳. 📍 Quartino 626 N State St, Chicago, IL 60654 💰 Around $35 per person — portions are generous! ⌛ Reservations available online, but lunch on weekdays is usually not too crowded. #ChicagoEats #HiddenGem #ItalianFood #Quartino #OutdoorDining #DateNight #ChicagoFoodie
