We love Quartino’s for celebrating any & all occasions, and this week we were there to celebrate our son’s birthday. The food was fantastic, as always, and our server, Gregory, was wonderful. He even comped a dessert for our son’s birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch! The entire waitstaff was attentive and friendly, making the whole evening feel extra special. Thanks to everyone at Quartino’s for another great experience! See you soon.

Excellent food and service. Great vibes. We tried most of the small plates and a couple of main dishes. Everything was excellent. Our server Johnny was very helpful and friendly. Every staff member we interacted with was wonderful. We’ve already made our next reservation. Save room for cheesecake and sherry

We loved this quaint, quiet, relaxing, and oh so extremely inviting dinner spot! The decor was very understated and gave a very soothing vibe. It was decorated beautifully and we loved all the fresh & beautifully fragrant lilies everywhere! We loved the location at the end of Fulton Street. It was so peaceful & there was plenty of street parking. This is a great alternative to dining in the heart of downtown with all the hustle & bustle! The staff was very warm and friendly! The service was excellent! We started with the margherita pizza, which was phenomenal! Nice super thin crust and the most delicious pizza sauce I have ever tasted outside of Italy, itself! You could tell it was super fresh and homemade! Also, had the meatballs as a side dish. They were very good, too. We also shared the Caesar salad, which was very good, too. If you like a lot of cheese on it, just request extra on the side. I had the carbonara, which was delicious. Hubby had the short rib gnocchi, which was to die for! The short rib melts in your mouth! It was so tender and flavorful. Our daughter had the special of the day: Cheese wheel truffle pasta, but there was no tableside cheese wheel, so I guess they just used the cheese wheel in the kitchen. Truffles are an acquired taste. We also had the flourless chocolate cake and the cremosa desserts. both were very good. The cremosa is very rich. Can’t wait to go back again & to try their other restaurant, Osteria del Pastaio in the Gold Coast! Keep up the excellent work! May God bless you abundantly!
