Quartino opened on State Street in Chicago in 2005, promising an authentic neighborhood restaurant, wine bar and pizzeria in a slightly upscale yet casual environment. Recently, a second location has opened at The Grandscape in The Colony. There, you’ll be rewarded with freshly prepared Italian fare where quality and flavor contrast with the relatively low prices on the menu.

It's a rather large space located right at the heart of The Grandscape with two levels of dining areas, both inside and out. The interior beckons with refurbished subway tile, glass, wood and mirrors. The tables are plentiful but not too close together, and the many windows fill the dining area with warm, inviting light.
