Tapas Bars, Italian — An Eventective User from Chicago, IL

I've now been to Quartino at least 15 times and I think I've tried everything on the menu. Everything continues to be absolutely delicious, but my favorites include: Veal Meatballs Fungi Pizza Shrimp (can't remember the exact name, but I think it's one of the only shrimp dishes on the menu) Gnocchi Fried Calamari You can't go wrong with any of the above! Mindy S and I celebrated her bday at this new ""tapas"" restaurant tonight. I'm not the biggest fan of tapas, but I really enjoyed this restaurant. We read Aubrey K's review before heading to Quartino so we made sure to order the veal meatballs and the eggplant salad she recommended. Both were great, although I think I preferred the veal meatballs. We also ordered the pesto gnocchi (my favorite dish of the night) and the seared scallops. Everything was phenomenal and left us very full! Service was great as well and the sweet waitress brought over a delicious dessert in honor Mindy's bday (without me even asking her to). You would also expect this restaurant to be pretty expensive (especially since it's owned by Gibson's and Hugo's), but I found the prices to be very reasonable.
