Quartino

What a great night out!  We were asked to join my cousin and her husband on their 12th anniversary dinner, which was a total honor!  How cool, right?!

So we headed to Quartino in Chicago and met them at 5, before their 8pm musical started.  Having never been before, we knew it was a bit more "rustic" Italian, but as gluten free (me) vegans (us both) we never know exactly what to expect!

Much to our surprise, we had some excellent food!  (remember, we are a little forgiving at restaurants as they don't often cater to G-Free Vegans!)

My dinner?  Their yummy lemony all veggie salad and olives.  Then following was escarole and white beans and another dish of Broccoli Rabe.  Ok.  WOW.  AMAZING!

My fiancé had olives as well and then a basil garlic gnocci.  The plate may have seemed small, but the gnocci are always guaranteed to fill you up!

Not a G-Free Vegan?  My cousin and her husband raved about the bacon wrapped dates, the clam linguini, and the pork shank!

Dessert?  Of course!  Dark chocolate strawberry fondue for me, donuts and tiramisu for the rest of the table!

Wine?  2 bottles of Napa Cabernet!

Verdict?!  Definitely a place to revisit!
