Emily S.: The pappardelle con porcini is so out of this world it's on Mars.
Stephen: Massive portions. I had the pappardelle con porcini and it was so creamy and tasty - still thinking about it! Fresh mozzarella on the bruschetta was heavenly. Service was fantastic - very attentive!
Seth Putnam: To start: the bruschetta (the best I've ever had). For the main, the pasta is molto bene. Portions are huge, so feel to share. Best part: BYOB, no corking fee.

P S: Best cheap eat in RivNo. Neapolitan pizzas, veal meatballs w raisins, salumeria tasting, pappardelle pasta are spot on. Bring a group and share everything.
Fran Su: Great place for groups. Everything is good. Big fan of the sharing concept. Veal meatballs (feel guilty about this😢), pastas (pappardelle, gnocchi, linguine with clam sauce), gelatos... all so tasty!
Stephen: House red is so great. Some of my faves: white bean spread, asparagus risotto, orrechiette, pappardelle, romaine hearts. Great service, very reasonable prices.

Ryan: Pappardelle arrabbiata is fresh and tasty with a generous portion. Great bartender, friendly patrons, a couple of curated local taps and other nice drink choices. Great neighborhood find.
Bill R.: Grear thin crust pizza and a good rotating black board menu of specials. If the Rib Eye is on there, it's a must order ... and huge!
Eater: Enjoy the Tropicale with ham & pineapple; Tutta with crumbled sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, black olives and bleu cheese; or Quattro Stagioni, made with artichoke hearts, mushrooms and ham. Read more.

Tina Richards: Pappardelle is awesome!
Lucille Fisher: Good Roman style pizzas. Crusts are thin and crisp, a nice change from Chicago deep dish or regular pizzas. Very good salads on offer as well, to round off a well balanced meal.
Steve Sielatycki: Get up. Walk out the door. Look to your left. And go to Quartinos. Similar menu, but a million times better. Seriously.
