Quartino

Last night, we ate out at Quartino, an Italian tapas bar at N State St and W Ontario St.

We ordered the Salumeria Tasting, which includes 2 salumi, 2 formaggi, 3 spuntini, and an assortment of olives. For the salumi (cold cuts), we chose the Truffle Salame Black Truffle Salami and Prosciutto San Daniele. For the formaggi (cheeses), we chose Fontina Val D'Aosta and Taleggio. For the spuntini (snacks), we chose Roasted Peppers, Roasted Beet Salad, and Artichokes Campobasso. The olives included were Gaeta, Green Pasola, and Cerignola olives. It also came with Raisin Bread, Apricot Puree, and Giardiniera Romana. Plus, we had the bread that was given to the table to start, which we ate along with some of these. The stand outs were the meats and cheeses; the vegetables weren't my favorite.



We also ordered the Italian Artisan Blend fonduta, which came with cubed bread. The flavor was unlike any fondue we'd had before, but we liked it.
