id=\"Quartino_The_Salumeria_That_Took_Over_River_North\"><\/span>Quartino: The Salumeria That Took Over River North<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Walk in and look up: whole prosciutti and house-cured salumi hang over the marble counter like a Milanese deli transplanted to Chicago. Quartino has been the city&#8217;s benchmark for Italian small plates since 2005 \u2014 everything cured, stretched, rolled and cut in-house, then sent out in portions built for a table that shares.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Concept\"><\/span>The Concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Quartino is the Italian project of Gibsons Restaurant Group, opened in December 2005 with executive chef and co-founder John Coletta \u2014 a son of Italian immigrants and author of a cookbook on true Italian pasta. His menu tours the regions: Neapolitan pizza from a stone hearth oven, hand-cut pasta from a dedicated pasta kitchen, Acquerello risotto. The Italian government has honored the restaurant with its Ospitalit\u00e0 Italiana award for keeping tradition honest.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Order\"><\/span>What to Order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Build the first round from the salumeria, then add the house-made goat&#8217;s milk ricotta with oregano and Sicilian olive oil on grilled Pugliese bread, and pancetta-wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola dolce and honey. From the pasta kitchen: ravioli with braised pork, speck and fava beans, or gnocchi with green beans and arugula pesto. The beef short ribs with salsa verde are the sleeper hit. Finish with zeppole and a pour of house-made limoncello.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two lively floors of pressed-tin ceilings, white subway tile, vintage mirrors and reclaimed wood \u2014 the fixtures were salvaged and refurbished, which is why the room feels decades older than it is. It is loud, warm and unapologetically festive; sidewalk tables appear in the warm months.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Its_For\"><\/span>Who It&#8217;s For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Groups who order for the middle of the table, wine-first diners, and night owls \u2014 this is one of downtown&#8217;s rare full kitchens running past midnight.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_to_Know\"><\/span>Good to Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>How late is it open?<\/strong> Until well past midnight every night of the week \u2014 a rarity for River North dining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the wine work?<\/strong> By the quartino (quarter liter), mezzo, litro or bottle, drawn from small family-owned Italian estates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a reservation?<\/strong> Recommended for prime evening hours, though the two floors absorb walk-ins better than most neighbors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gluten-free options?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 a dedicated gluten-free menu covers pasta and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there outdoor seating?<\/strong> Seasonal sidewalk seating in warm weather, first come first served.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span
