    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!

    Came here for the happy hour thanks to my Facebook algorithm that kept promoting the Hawksmoor Happy Hour special, $25 steak & frites! It was cooked to my liking and though simple it was lean yet tender, not tough or chewy as most lean meats can get. And it had a good charred beefy flavor to it. It is a 28 dry aged steak that is cooked to order over hot coals. Paired with crispy, fluffy potatoey beef tallow fries and you have one of the best valued happy hour menu item ever!
