    Server was amazing, very attentive without hovering; bus service / water refills were wonderful; shareables were tasty; happy hour ambience was fun! Looking forward to trying full dinners on next visit. Only negative was our six-top round was all the way in back of bar next to kitchen so restaurant personnel knocked into our chairs throughout our stay…we had reservation and place was empty when we were seated (just before 5 o’clock crowd) so they could have put our party in a more appropriate space for our size.

    I had a wonderful time at Quartino. The food came at lightning speed and the service was excellent. We loved loved the Tuscan kale salad, you must try at all costs. The penne vodka chicken and veal meatball app were delicious but I found the fettuccini Alfredo to be very eggy and unpleasant. Our server Christopher was friendly and quick! The zeppole were cooked in old oil and were immediately noticed by all of us at the table. Their nojitos are yummy, I recommend the passion fruit. I will come back especially with these awesome prices!
